FINAL DRAFT: ISLAMIC FEMINISM

Not only is clothing modesty widely symbolic in Muslim communities and Islamic religious beliefs, but the method of head covering has many connections between religions as well. Reina Lewis discusses this connection of religious practices in her book, “Modest Fashion: Styling Bodies, Mediating Faith,” where she brings up the political divide between Jews and Muslims. Muslim headwear designer, Wegdan Hamza, was intrigued to find out the large appeal of her website to orthodox Jewish Women. Hamza was born and raised in Egypt and had been wearing a Hijab for her entire life. Hamza speaks out about how she was delighted that her designs had become of interest in interfaith modesty since she sees head covering as “a link between all the Holy religions” which can further help to “reduce anger between mankind”. The “tichel” is compared to the muslim “hijab” in Judaism, which is Yiddish for headscarf. According to the “Encyclopedia of Judaism,” written by Sara E. Karesh, and Mitchell M. Hurvitz, the tichel is discussed in the Jewish laws of modesty as a required article of clothing worn by married women. There are many variations of the headscarf in Judaism, such as “mitpachat” in Hebrew, or “shmateh,” all meaning the same thing. While they are called many different things in both Judaism and Islamic religions, they have many of the same rules, and coincide on many ideological levels.

Peer Review
from rough draft edit

I agree with what is being said above! I too have trouble with citing my sources without it looking like I'm plagiarizing someone else's work. A great addition to your part of the article would be pictures. I am not sure how pictures could be uploaded, but adding pictures as a visual would help readers see how Hamza's modern clothing affected these religions. 17:09, 19 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chilogan (talk • contribs)
