In recent years, a small piece of cloth has managed to cause quite a stir. The scarf, or hijab, that Muslim women wear on their heads is making headlines around the world. The hijab is banned in French public schools, and other European countries have adopted or are considering similar legislation. In Australia, a radio presenter sparked debate and outrage when he called for the niqab to be banned from banks and post offices.

On an even larger scale, this could impact society as well and it is... middle of paper... reasonable that the social issue could gain social control. The social issue remains how society thinks about certain types of religions based on assumptions from sources such as the media. Using many of the previously listed solutions and a greater understanding of religion and the individual can lead us to gain social control. How these issues are interpreted is influenced by society and often leads to mistreatment.

Additionally, it is critical to understand that there are two ways to view a religion from an outside perspective. Essentially a religious follower is laid back or "hardcore", but both are busy with themselves and then with the religion they follow.
