How can they claim that the wearing of the hijab and all makes men focus on the woman's intellectual abilities - when in many Muslim lands teaching women is frowned upon? The men don't think the women HAVE intellectual abilities!

Don't be waiting for the talking version, the voting version or the aerobics version. Problems with supply/demand in these models.

Because my daughter would see the doll as one of her friend's moms. We live with Arab people and why should her doll collection not be like her world?

>>We are in America - lose the scarves and headresses already<<

America was founded on the freedom to worship as we please.
Like the footbindings of China years past, many of these women are not comfortable without the head scarves. We are not France.
From what I have seen, the girls are less likely to wear the scarves as their mothers. This is a matter of comfort. Telling these women not to wear headscarves is like telling your grandma that she has to wear a thong.

That's BS. Why are new immigrants ruining this country? Because they are NOT assimilating. Take off the masks and join society already!

My Grandmother was from Poland. She wore a babushka until the day she died. What is the difference?

Yes and Islam was founded on forcing others to assimilate and worship allah. Islam rejects the United States Constitution as law. Islam considers slavery legal. These are mutually exclusive principles.

Take your pick.

So are you saying that those who are Islamic should never be allowed in America?

You going to till that to the 50,000 Hasidic (sp) Orthodox Jews that live in Brooklyn who wear head coverings..

Of course I guess you would need to define Brooklyn as in America!

I have no problem if a women wants to wear a burka down main street USA as long as they understand I don't have to or be forced to.
