Abstract

This lecture deals with veiling of Czech women who convert to Islam, those who were born here, were brought up here and have a full Czech sociocultural background. I focused on the reasons for veiling in the Czech milieu, the real possibility of veiling in the Czech Republic, the emotional side of those women and the change in their visual appearance itself.

It also discusses the changes in the acceptance of conversion to Islam in informants' families after they began to veil themselves. I also focused on problems of the employment and the possibility of veiling being contraproductive in the western society.

The whole lecture was based on a qualitative research
