Summary

The Australian government has changed a decision to forbid women wearing full-face Islamic veils to access to parliament in Canberra.

The decision was made because of growing concern about the threat of terror attacks in Australia.

Actually, there were rumors that a group of people were planning to attend prime minister’s questions on 2 October wearing veils and stage a protest in the public gallery.

Before that change, anyone visiting the building with their face covered would have to sit in a separate area of the public gallery, but right now, visitors are free to move the public spaces of the building with facial coverings after they show their face briefly to security.

My opinion

After I read this article, I strongly felt that the  images to religion we have can be dangerous thing. Actually, I don’t have any good images to Islam because I hear a lot of bad rumors or news of Islam through the media. Actually, I even feel scary to Islam.

In this article, there were rumors that the  people wearing veils would stage a protest in the public gallery and the government made the initial decision. I think the decision was made because the government had prejudice to Islam like Islam is dangerous religion.

If the government has such prejudice, it can cause discrimination to come religion, and it can even cause the violation of people who believe that religion. We must avoid that.
