In an article published on new America media on July 27th, 2007, under the title of Hijab Abuse in Tunisia, there too much critics of Tunisian policy as being an anti-religious country for banning the hijab. “ Police have ordered women to remove the head scarves before being allowed into schools, universities, or work places and others have been made to remove them in the street.” I would suggest to these people if they had the opportunity one day to visit Tunisia to make sure that there is no woman wearing headscarf. I would also suggest on them to make sure if women who are not putting on this type of clothing are unhappy with the way they dress. In another article published on the College Publisher Network, some women claim that hijab help them spend less time preparing themselves and save much more time concentrating on their jobs. It is ridiculous to think that Hijab helps women to think less about their beauty as they no longer need to spend time in front of their mirrors looking for the best looking before going out. I would say that with or without hijab, what mostly matter is to look respectfully as a woman in general.
What is undeniable, Hijab is required in Islam religion. What is deniable, Hijeb is not a criterion to measure a woman’s degree of religion. Tunisia has been always a liberal country. Yet, the reason why Tunisian women do not wear Hijab should never be linked to such a political tendency. It is rather due to the changes that Tunisian society is witnessing. It is basically due to the positive changes of the Tunisian woman status. To be a respectful Muslim woman, indeed, should not be bound to wearing Hijab. Otherwise we would consider all those who do not dress this way, in Tunisia or other Muslim countries as Egypt, Syria, or Lebanon bad women, which is not true.
If we were still living in the ancient era where women rarely showed up in the streets, the shopping markets or for jobs, it would be strongly reasonable to oppress women to wear Hijab when she appeared outside her house. Otherwise, men would look at her as an unusual creature, which might be even an a subject of some types of abuses However, being in an era and in a society where most of the deeds such as finding a job to help the husband with the expenses of the family, going to the market for the shopping, or taking children to school are done by women, it becomes unnecessary to oblige her to wear in a certain way and not in another. Islam has been always flexible to modernity. So, why women dressing is not addressed from modern perspectives too?! In short, Be respectfully looking, and that’s about it.
