An Arab burqa refers to clothing worn in Middle Eastern countries by women practicing theIslam faith. A burqa covers the entire body and typically includes a head covering with mesh or netting to allow limited vision. Muslim women commonly wear a black Arab burqa in public as a symbol of modesty in the presence of men. It is often called hijab, which means clothing that covers; some liberal factions in Arabian countries oppose continued use of confining garments, favoring a simple head scarf as an alternative. In some areas, such as Saudi Arabia, women might still be punished for appearing in public without an Arab burqa. The Taliban commonly have imposed sanctions on women by strictly enforcing the Islamic edict demanding women show modesty and respect. Some religious leaders argue the Muslim holy book does not specifically mention burqas, but merely advises against revealing clothing. In the most extreme version of the Arab burqa, a narrow slit allows vision. This traditional clothing also sparks controversy in Western societies. Some European countries, including France and the Netherlands, banned the Arab burqa in public. Turkey and Tunisia prohibited the clothing in government buildings and schools for security reasons. Men might wear a burqa as a disguise to gain access to female dormitories, or terrorists might conceal their identities by wearing head coverings.
