Exploring Culture: Diffusion of Religion

Question 1 • PA-Geography A

Tuareg men wear a veil (tagelmust) for all of the following reasons, except __________.

Answer
A
as protection against windstorms
B
because Sharia law dictates that Muslim men must wear veils
C
to ward off evil spirits
D
for hygienic and moral purposes

Explanation

The tagelmust protects Tuareg men from wind and blowing sand, and it can serve hygienic, cultural, and spiritual purposes. Sharia law does not require Muslim men generally to wear veils; the tagelmust is a Tuareg cultural tradition, not a universal Islamic requirement. Therefore the exception is “because Sharia law dictates that Muslim men must wear veils.”
