Teen walks a mile in Muslim friends’ shoes by wearing a hijab
The Seattle Times ^ | January 17, 2016 | Claudia Rowe

She was walking home from school, with traffic rushing all around, when Zion Lourdes Perez tore off her hijab. Feeling like a target at 15 was nothing she'd imagined when she decided, on a lark, to wear the head scarf worn by Muslim women.

Perez, raised Catholic, is a co-founder and president of the Muslim Student Association at Franklin High, and while many students tried on the covering for an hour or two during "modesty week," Perez wanted a deeper understanding of what it meant to broadcast religion on one's sleeve - or head, as it were. The experience last year made her think about Jews forced to wear yellow stars during the Holocaust. (POSTER NOTE: Sure, this is about Jews during the Holocaust. Then why not wear Jewish garb for a few weeks or learn Hebrew?)

This, from the other side of my state -- the STUPID SEATTLE side -- leaves my head spinning from the liberal naivete and ignorance.

And Catholics like me weep seeing especially as her middle name is Lourdes.

Please read the whole article -- Seattle Times must be heavily excerpted. Non-subscribers usually can read an article or two.

She didn’t go all the way, she needed someone to take a piece of broken glass and slice out her sensitive spots between her legs and then she can claim to have walked a bloody (pun intended) mile in their shoes.

Frankly I think some women actually would look better in a burka.

Try wearing the Jewish star past the Baptist Church and then for contrast wear it past the mosque. Muslims are the intolerant ones.

She needs to take a nice stroll around midnight in Cologne, Germany if she wants to feel the full cultural experience of islam.

” Perez wanted a deeper understanding of what it meant to broadcast religion on one’s sleeve - or head, as it were. “

The problem is that islam is not a religion, but a murderous cult

How’d the wiping her butt with her left hand go?

What about the past where she gets beaten because she was out without her slavemaster?

Nothing says “chattel” like wearing a hijab.

Try wearing a swastika and see how it goes. Same difference.

The only significant difference between Islam and Nazism is the first claims itself the master religion and the latter claims itself the master race. Otherwise their goals and methods are very similar. They were natural allies during WWII...

If young Zion Lourdes took a little trip to Rochdale, Northern England - there's an eager group of Muslim men willing to "sort out" her misconceptions about Islam:

I walked a mile in a Muslim’s shoes by molesting women along the way.

Those white privilege Seattalites ought to import some refugees. Around this part of the Metroplex, no one would take note of a teenage girl in a headscarf. I guess Texans are just more tolerant than those wealthy white folks in the Pacific Northwest.

If she wants to learn how diversity works, go and visit the moderate Islamic city of Mecca and announce you are a Catholic engaging in cultural exchange and interfaith discourse.

I call Mecca moderate because all muslims in good standing, including the self-identified moderates, all bow to this segregated city 5 times a day every day and never speak out against the death penalty that is given to any non-muslim who’d dare enter it. And the host nation of the capital of the Islamic empire does not tolerate any non-Islamic religious observance or text.

Wave an Islamic State flag on a college campus and then compare it with the response when waving a flag of Israel.

What does she think about women who are forced to wear hijabs and burkas? And, those who can’t drive or leave their home without a male relative? Those who must marry at 9 years old? And the rest of oppressiveness of islam toward women?

This is so much bullcrap. I live on the westside and there are muzzies all over the place. The typical Seattlunatic is more interested in smoking dope and watching the boob-toob than anything else. You simply don’t hear about “bash the muzzie” incidents around here - even in the sticks.

False-flag
