The New York Times recently published a “guide“ to Muslim headscarves. The article intended to illuminate an Islamic concept that promotes modesty, but the associated images showed styles specific to a few countries and all of the silhouettes were faceless. These types of portrayals can contribute to a misperception among some that Muslim women who don the headscarf may lack agency.
In today’s political climate, the headscarf has become more than just a spiritual symbol of modesty. At one point, women working in government positions were not allowed to wear it in Turkey. In France, the niqab — a version of the headscarf that covers the face — is banned. In the field of counterterrorism, some view the headscarf as a manifestation of extremism. And as the number of Islamophobic attacks continues to rise in the United States so, too, does the fear among Muslim women, especially those who wear hijab, that they’ll be victims of violence.

Because oppression of women is beautiful when Muslims do it.
The oil rich arabs ha e been using layers of front companies to invest in our media and politicians for decades. They call the shots.
Question: Do Muslim transvestites wear burqas?
...Beautiful reasons? Incest? FGM? Subjugation? Beatings? Pedophilia...
You forgot murdering of wives, murdering Muslim children on buses on the way to school, disfigurement such as cutting off noses, ears, personal body parts. The list is nearly endless.
Beautiful reasons? Not hardly.
That is the way I saw these comments from the scarf wearers.
” We wear them because we like them”
They don’t have to wonder how I feel about their scarfs! My expression says what I am thinking.
(You stupid b....!)
Muslim women can be just as dangerous.
The problem with the Hijab is that it is Islamic. Islam is evil, and is completely incompatible with any aspect of America's founding principles.
Those who worship the murderous, warmongering, pillaging, slave-capturing, butchering, pedophilic, psychotic rapist Mohammed have a moral duty to repudiate and condemn him, or go to Hell with him.
Mohammed was Charlie Manson without the humanity, only with more money and less musical talent. Except that Charlie Manson, as far as we know, never raped any children.
And to those who respond by saying "violence has been committed in the name of all religions through the centuries," I ask: "How many people did Jesus kill? How many slaves did Jesus own? How many women did Jesus rape?"
The Five Pillars of Islam:
Murder
Slavery
Rape
Torture
War
Sorry, liberals. There's only 1 interpretation of Islam — Muhammad's
Have you heard about the new doll for Muslim girls;
A Garbage Bag Doll
The #1 reason: It is better than getting the crap beat out of you.
Islam is NOT a ‘religion’; it is a totalitarian political system...I find the hijab (and everything about Islam) offensive as hell.
Hold your nose & go read the HuffPo article & the `testimonies’ of these Muslimahs.
What a bunch of drama queens! It’s either “Look at me, I’m Muslim!” or it’s “In your face, infidel! We’re here, we’re proud, get used to it!” or it’s “My hijab means I’m better than you!”.
They complain that “infidels” regard each & every one of them as “representing all of Islam”. Well, d’oh!
I read it. Muslim women have Stockholm syndrome.
So Muslim women fear they will become victims of violence?
Funny - that’s how non-muslims feel.
Name one... A$$h*les.
And this is at CHURCH.
Actually, Muslimahs seem to have a screaming superiority complex against anyone who is not Muslim.
The Stockholm part is their insisting that “There is no coercion in my choosing to wear hijab!”
OK, Fatima, whatever Muslim males allow you to say.....
“I find it no more offensive than orthodox Jewish women and there dress codes, or fundamentalist/evangelical Christians and there dress codes, or LDS or Amish etc etc”
I am offended.
There is no equivalency between muslime death cult practices and Jewish or Christian practices.
See a burka and you should see a symbol of death, terror, oppression and hate.
There is nothing beautiful about slavery.
I did not speak about a burka or a niqab. You conveniently ignore the rest of my post that describes what I am offended by....taking stuff out of context to beat on someone else is class,ess. Go back and actually read my entire post
