Hijab Ban and Gender Conflict

1. Introduction
  Islamic dress in Europe, notably the variety of headdresses worn by Muslim women, has become a prominent symbol of the presence of Islam in western Europe. In several countries the adherence to hijab, which means to cover in Arab, has led to political controversies and proposals for a legal ban. Some countries already have laws banning the wearing of masks in public, which can be applied to veils that conceal the face. Other countries are debating similar legislation, or have more limited prohibitions. The issue has different names in different countries, and the veil or hijab may be used as general terms for the debate, representing more than just the veil itself, or the concept of modesty embodied in hijab.
