Will somebody PLEASE tell this misguided child that wearing a headscarf isn't supposed to equalize her to Muslim men?

“They listen more carefully to what I say because here’s this different girl, ‘I can’t see her hair!’ So people will want to hear what I have to say.”
Not necessarily.

She’s succomed to self-oppression. Pretty sad. If she were not in America she would probably be stoned. Well, she probably is stoned.

For Brewer, it's all about both men and women dressing modestly "so you can get to know someone based on their heart." Stupid girl. Its misogyny based on the premise that women are guilty of causing men to lust. Thus, best to cover up the source of temptation and to keep it hidden in the home as much as possible.
Also what does getting to know someone (opposite sex) come in when a woman is forbidden to talk to non-relatives and marriages are arranged (usually with first-cousins)?

...and Brewer became interested in Islam's "true form." Has she scheduled her clitorectomy yet?

who converted after Sept. 11That phrase never ceases to baffle.
"I've always been interested in spirituality, and what is truth and what my purpose is as a person," Brewer said.
The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion by Robert Spencer
Contrary to widespread ideas, Brewer believes that women do hold leadership positions within the Muslim community. The President of the Islamic Society of North America is currently a woman.
Don't ever leave America, honey.

Tsk, tsk, you are bringing facts and reason into this. What is really important is feelings. At least, that is what the PC/Oprah culture says. I still fail to see how covering her head is supposed to make people instantly capable of "seeing her heart" and "paying attention to her." I wonder how she'll *feel* the first time that she is reminded by one of her "new friends" that she is little more than property?

Our church had missionaries from Middle East Muslim countries in last year and it was emphatically explained that Arab Muslim men are taught from birth that outside sources perpetuate sinful behavior; therefore they are innocent of their own urges; therefore the fault lies with the "temptress." Therefore it is the fault of the woman if she is raped, therefore she dishonors the family thusly, and the men bear no responsibility.

‘After 9.11’ — May I add — “Due to the fact that the MSM could not bring themselves to blame Islamofascists for the Act of War AGAINST our country; due to that error being perpetrated by the liberal-leftie school teachers, who no doubt fed her curiosity about EVIL.” and etc.
I’d cut her off, too.
