So many educated people are afflicted by the equivalent of a blank stare where genuine thought should exist. It’s as if they’re sleepwalkers, oblivious to reality, or under plexiglass, where they can’t hear anything with which they don’t already agree.
Here’s a case in point. A woman who identifies herself as a professor at a Chicago university (it’s Northeastern Illinois) publishes this touching note in the New York (Muslim) Times today. Gail Dreyfuss describes an “encounter” she had with a student who was wearing both hijab (a headscarf) and a pin which read “I am a Muslim.” I guess the student did not want anyone mistaking her for … a Buddhist or a Jew; perhaps the student did not think that westerners know that a wearing a tight “headscarf which framed her face” meant she was a Muslim.
Dreyfuss, a professor of Linguistics, asked her student if she had a “spare pin.” The student took off her own. The professor “wore it all day and received only positive reactions from students and staff members.”
And that’s when she came up with her Great Idea. Dreyfuss writes: “It occurred to me that non-Muslim women might like to wear headscarves in solidarity with our Muslim sisters.… This might be one way to show them that we’re all in this together.”
Is Dreyfuss serious? Does she believe that Muslims are under the kind of siege that Jews were under during the Nazi regime and which prompted Danes to all wear the yellow star as a way of hiding endangered Danish Jews from Jew-hunters?

I've had enough of this 7th century Mozlem crap!!
Sure, I’ll wear a headscarf, red lipstick and sunglasses like Audrey Hepburn, and a button that says “I am a movie star.” Would that count? /s
It is a great idea they just need to make sure the gang rapist are present to make sure everything is in order. Other wise it isn't Islam.
Complete, total brain rot.
Are the muslims willing to wear crucifixes and stars of david, since we’re all being so inclusive? Just to prove how open-minded they are too?
Don’t forget female genital mutilation. There would be a REAL showing of solidarity!
/need I?
Islamophobia is similar to Rattlesnakeophobia.
What’s the penalty under sharia for impersonating a muslim?
I’ll bite. I’ll wear a halo and a pin that says “I am a Christian” and see if I get any news coverage at all.
I’ve had enough of it too!!!! This man is a pig for writing this article....
the muslims need to go back to their century and stay there and leave other countries alone.
How about a pin that says “I AM A CHRISTIAN?”. probem is that one would be arrested for hate talk!!
How about a pin that says “I AM A CHRISTIAN?”. problem is that one would be arrested for hate talk!!
I would encourage all muslims in America to dump that psycho trash. There are so many NICE religions you can pick from. Any would be a step up. Here, be Amish. You can still keep a lot of your basic wardrobe.
Our 'sisters in solidarity' will have a rock concert in our honor, they'll stone us, you for being a Christian and me for just having fun.

Try that in Dearborn and you may get arrested.

It’s too bad all the males didn’t tell her to shut up every time she opened her mouth and then stoned her to death at the end of the day. Then she could be a real muslim “sistah” instead of a wannabe. What a Doofuss
Sean Hannity says to tuck tail and run. We might make the muzzies mad.
I agree with you, blam, but I don't know what it will take to convince the sheeple that something will have to be done.
This crap is getting wackier by the day.
