And if the teacher recommended the girls follow their Christian faith (assumed) more closely and remained chaste and performed acts of charity would she still have a job?

Interesting that the students found there was no discrimination while wearing the hijab but both of the Islamic women were concerned about it and felt they would be demeaned in some way.

That leads me to ask if it's the hijab that makes you paranoid or Islam?

 

[BlueNgold]

If they feel more ‘feminine’ wearing the scarves then they clearly do not understand Islamic law.

The only time a hijab has ever seemed like a good idea is during a sandstorm.

But what the hey....the sand washes out.

Americans generally will only treat you differently if your Hijab is ticking — otherwise, wear whatever floats your boat.

She explained she believes the Quran doesn't require women wear the hijab; each can make the choice.

Heads will roll.

[TLI]

wear hijab scarves in a grocery store as a part of an exercise in an 'Introduction to Islam' class.

"Introduction to Islam"

Oh just peachy. Tax dollars at "work."

[GadareneDemoniac]

Yeah, Katie, that hijab goes well with the knee-length skirt.

Moron.

studying a religion in public school? WTF?

[ArmyTeach]

The answer to your questions regarding a Christian teacher’s exhortation to chastity and charity is probably “yes.”
Barring the headscarf, the girls are obviously American in dress, manner and language. People were probably curious about why any American girl would be so foolish.

Now let me introduce you to polygamy and mandatory beatings and rapings...

When I see them in public I always look for wires.

Wear a straw hat and a chip on your shoulder.

The stupidity of this generation of American People never ceases to amaze me....

Seraji said she didn't worry that Muslims would be offended by the class experiment because the faith encourages its followers to pray in other churches and unite with those of other faiths.

say what?

[metmom]

The girls wore the hijab to school every day, to a shopping mall, grocery, feed store, department store and dance studio.

the feed store.... You can tell it's in Central NY. And it's not like Manlius Pebble Hill is in any slouch neighborhood. It takes buko bucks to send your kid there.

Personally, I'd want an education for that kind of money.

[onedoug]

God, I hate islam.

[metmom]

Maybe. Manlius Pebble Hill is a very exclusive private school.

[Siberian-psycho]

“exercise in an ‘Introduction to Islam’ class”

A more accurate one would start with genital mutilation under the guise of female circumcision, being treated worse than livestock, raped because they are out by themselves in a group of less than three, indoctrinated that they have no souls, and treated as fools by boys that are 7 years old and older. Why is it interesting for Americans to want to be muslim? they should watch the movie “ not without my daughter” in a class like that. Fools!

Not in my Quran

[NTHockey]

Is there no depth of stupidity to which the government-educated dolts will not stoop to?

Religion or not, any woman who would allow a man to dictate what to wear or not wear is a woman begging to be abused. Same goes for this twigs in the fashion industry.

[vpintheak]

So does this High School have a program studying Christianity or any other religions? Or is islam the onyl religion OK to study?

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

Yea, now after the Muslim cop killer here in Philadelphia dressed as a Muslim woman to hide his identity, I view them with more suspicion than before.

[Mamzelle]

I guess "feminine" means "masochistic" to these ninnies--but there's always been a streak of masochism in women, I've heard.

She's asking for it.

A slave rag helps hide the bruises, I guess.
