Despite being different, these images show the result of post 9/11 hysteria. 9/11 marked a time of fear within the world, making terrorism seem a much more real threat than had previously been thought. The 77 bombings in the UK would further set the tone for a heightened alertness within the world's ideology. As the population of those who share a religion have begun to rise within the UK and other countries, this minority has been subjected to segregation and have been targeted violently by the media and people. Ever since the public have become worried of having terrorists imbed themselves within our society. The burka is an item that has been targeted as people often wrongly associate this sight with terrorism and secrecy. Others just look to have an equal standard for all, in the same way that any other person wouldn't be able to conceal their faces in banks and airports. Sharia law has been shown to be a very violent practice, but as the article above states this is 'Muslim Law'. This is very misleading as not all Muslims practice this law, so again this minority have been put in the public eye and has only increased the publics scepticism regarding Muslims.
