Discrimination Against Women Hijab
Veiled in Islamic teachings is mandatory for every Muslim (Muslim Women), the command to wear the headscarf clearly written verse in al-Quran surah Al-Ahzab: 59 and Surah An-Nur: 31. Although not many Muslim women today who wear the hijab but for various reasons they refuse any orders hijab, the headscarf command line will remain in the Qur'an until the end of life, because God himself who explicitly promised to keep the holy book that has been lowered to hereafter.
Actually, the headscarf is not an issue that complicated if every religious community want to run their own religion and respect for religious teaching each other, so there is no longer a skewed view about the hijab, but ironically in the current era of globalization, discrimination against the headscarf was increasingly becoming . Group on behalf of themselves instead considers the emancipatory feminine clothing hijab does not represent Muslim women to appreciate their rights of freedom of dress, whereas among the Muslim in Indonesia, there are many who try to live the teachings of religion and beristiqomah in wearing the hijab, but why there are allegations as if veiled Muslim women are women who have no idea of modernity as well as how to dress right, but they are also Indonesian people who just want to try to live the teachings of religion with truth, and not a few of them veiled Muslim women are public figures, scholars and scientists of this country .
As an illustration, and this indeed did happen, I had two female friends who wear the hijab, the first academy graduate nurses, while the second is a pharmacy graduate. The problems they face are the same, when applying for work at companies that are in line with their field, it turns out the stakes for acceptance is to remove the hijab. That certainly surprised me. Though this country is the state religion, and all layers of society free to practice their religion and faith khusyu high without any intervention from other religions. Both my friends that scarf is a religious person, they both tried to run the religious teachings and commands of Allah in the Qur'an, then why do the companies that sent them off the hijab? Though the veil is part of Islamic teachings. The grounds for an official-looking, the personnel companies are refusing them, whether veiled Muslim women as old-fashioned, do not know this office, employment, technology and others?
Why is Indonesia, which he appreciates the differences of opinion and religion was very much the condition of freedom beragamanya from several other countries that the majority population are Muslims. Examples of Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Four of the country's majority population are Muslims, even some of the country who use Islam as a principle and system of government than the Democratic Republic such as Indonesia, but in it there are also people who are Jews, Christians, and Coptic Christians, but it's freedom of citizens to run teachings of their religion more freely than in Indonesia. In countries that veiled women, even to the veiled even very ordinary restaurant franchise once entered a kind of Kentucky, Texas, etc.. Especially in a mall or shopping malls, hospitals, apartments, banks, and all sorts of public places without any accusation of sloping, or tone condescending, insulting, and discredit as often accepted in Indonesia. In fact, veiled women were doing your job as a TV newscaster, Teachers, Nurses, Doctors, Pharmacists, Scientists, etc. without having a sentimental attitude, apathetic and skeptical of their environment. Actually, our country is completely implemented the 45 Constitution concerning freedom of religion or not?
Back to two of my female friends who covered it, when they complained about this problem to the relevant NGOs working in the field of women's emancipation, and what their response? They even suggest the same thing, for two of my friends remove their hijab in order to receive work. Weird is not it, justice and rights for women who often turns out they are fighting on the other side of the curb instead of the Muslim that in fact that they also are worth fighting for women's rights in terms of getting jobs in this country. If the attitude of institutional, corporate, environmental and government agencies often hinder Muslim-Muslim women wore the headscarf, whether Muslim women in Indonesia are now no longer allowed to wear hijab?
