What’s it like to be a Muslim in the United States in 2016? Students at Fresno State have been invited to get a fleeting insight by taking a Hijab Challenge and for one day step into the life of a Muslim on campus. The Muslim Student Association at the Californian university began the challenge as an initiative to give non-Muslim women the experience of wearing a traditional head scarf during a time when anti-Islam rhetoric and attacks have been on the rise across the U.S.
“Maybe they feel a little more in tune to our issues and the things that we're having to deal with, especially with a lot of the terrorism that has been happening this year,” Thalia Arenas, public relations officer for the Muslim Student Association told ABC30 in Fresno. “That has spread a lot of discrimination and harassment to our communities."
The event, which took place in the Free Speech Area of the campus, involved students being given a free hijab – or kufi, a cap, for men – and wearing it for the rest of the day before reporting back on their experiences.

You to can look like a fool
Meaning, when in the U.S. conform to our customs and laws. Don't try to force us to conform to yours.
What are they complaining about?
It’s not like they were FORCED to come here. If they hate it so much then they can freely go back to the $hit hole country they came from.
It is up to THEM to assimilate, not us.
It’s America, ya ninnies! You don’t have to wear a bag over your head here.
Gee what is is like to have to jump to your death from the WTC to your death? Gee what is it like to have your throat slashed? Gee what is it like to be burned alive? Gee what is it like to be raped at 10 years old? Gee what is it like to be tossed off a high rise for being gay? Gee what is it like to be gunned down in a club?
Gee what is it like to have your dead bodies hung after you where killed in Iraq from a bridge. Gee what is it like to be gunned down in Ft Hood. Gee what is it like to be killed by the same people you gave a baby shower too.....I could go on. The list is endless.
Sort of like our fathers and grandfathers putting on swastika arm bands and goosestepping around campus in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s.
Put them more in touch with people who want to kill them.
I
don’t
care.
IBT - WASTE PAPER
I always holler at them:
“Assimilate!”
Conveniently ignoring the fact that Islamic terrorism has been on the rise, as if the "anti-Islamic rhetoric" was an unjustified mystery. Criticizing a death cult for being a death cult is rational.
How about male Muslim students wearing yarmulkes for a day?
Who cares...
Superficial rubbish.
To follow islam is to control those that don’t buy into your filth.
FUislam and FUbo.
send them home to Krapistan (ASAP while we still can)
and then our public colleges won’t have this stupidity to screw away our tax money with
obviously we are giving that particular school way too much funding (it should be sent to other colleges who actually have needs for it)
YES!
Islam is a disease, and must be wiped out. Islam is not welcome in my country.
How easy is it trick these idiots into wearing them ?
>Gee what is is like to have to jump to your death from the WTC to your death?
You WIN FOR THAT TIRADE. I’m Having a cold one in honor. Thank you!
