>>So it’s OK that she wore the hijab in Iraq to protect herself but it’s sad that people look funny at her in America.<<
Simple solution - go back to Iraq. Next question and “Don’t get stuck on stupid”.
Be honest — how many of you clicked on this thread to see if there was a picture posted of an un-hijabed Iranian hottie? :-)
Because when in the United States wear what the women wear... assimilate !!!
cut offs and a tee here...
During WWII Americans might have looked at you funny if you walked around wearing a swastika.
Like it or not, the hijab is strongly supported by those who are trying to kill us, as she herself implies. Wearing it implies support for them.

Students Test Public Reactions To Hijab Scarves
Return to your homeland, Fatima, and take as many muslims with you as you possibly can.
Proof positive that these people don't believe God had the slightest idea what the hell He was doing when He created the universe.
There's a Zarathustrian fable - of dubious origin - that states it well:
Next the knowing fox, taking up the speech said, What superiority in arts doth man possess? The wise Jewânshîr answered. The superiorly of man consisteth in the good dress, and agreeable food and drink which they formerly had, and at the present time in their covering their obscene parts. The wise fox said, In former times your clothes were of wool, and hair, and skins of animals, and still are so. And your sweetest food is from the vomit of the bee ; And animals do not require any covering for their natural parts ; for all that God requires to be covered, is covered ; And, if it be not, God hath not directed it.
She needs to:
1. Wear whatever she wants.
2. Obey laws about masks in public and drivers license pictures and not try change them for her.
3. Leave the rest of us alone.
If she really wants to wear her hijab, she should go back to Iraq. Nobody’s stopping her.
To many Americans, it is a symbol of religious and sexist oppression.
She herself recognizes the problem in these tyrannical Islamic run nations.
She may not support their tyranny but she is still holding to their restrictive dress code that was even put upon non-muslims.
Could she drive a car in Iran or Iraq? Has she taken on any Western roles that she was prohibited from engaging back home?
Why pick and choose such codes to follow?
Hey babe, wear or don't wear the damn thing.
Quit your whining.
That's horsepoop. Some women get killed in Iraq for not wearing the veil. I seriously doubt she runs the risk of getting killed in America for wearing it.
Now that I’ve reflected on her essay, I think she feels oppressed because American women don’t wear the veil. She’ll only really feel comfortable when all of the women around her wear it. There’s a solution to that - move back to Iraq.
As free people, of course Americans look at her funny.
Sorry, but you are NOT like everyone else. Your so-called religion wants everyone else converted, enslaved or dead. Even if you speak out against violent radical Islamics, you are saddled with the taquiyah problem. It is your duty to lie for the advancement of Islam, so nothing you say can be believed if you profess to be a true Muslim.
That is who you are, and you should expect to be treated as such.
“Me and my hijab, walkin’ down the a-ve-nue...”
It seems to me that racism is at its worst in the "enlightened" blue states.
Islam’s Hatred of the Clitoris
By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com
IF YOU HATE WOMEN, and you hate their sexuality, and you are terrified that you cannot control it, the most effective thing you can do is to mutilate female sexual pleasure. This can be done by a sexual lobotomy, which will destroy an essential and sacred part of a woman’s natural makeup. In achieving this feat on all women, you will become able to ruthlessly dominate them.
That’s what female circumcision is all about.
It’s about obliterating the clitoris, or the entire outer vagina. It is the barbarity that exists where misogyny festers most: in the Muslim and African world.
The Muslims are the principal religious group that practice female circumcision. In Egypt, for instance, 97 percent of women are circumcised. Their clitorises are amputated. In countries like Sudan, meanwhile, the women-haters are not so kind: all the women’s external genital organs are completely removed. In a savagery called infibulation, the clitoris, the two major outer lips (labia majora) and the two minor inner lips (labia minora) are amputated.
Nawal El Saadawi has documented these horrifying realities in The Hidden Face of Eve: Women in the Arab World. She demonstrates how the violence of female circumcision is performed on girls anywhere from the ages of one month to puberty. Usually, it is done around the age of seven or eight. Anesthetics are never used. The child is pinned down by several women, while one of them attacks.
After infibulation, the small outer opening of the vagina is the only portion left intact. A tiny piece of wood or reed is inserted to allow urine and menstrual blood to seep out. Extra narrowing of the opening is carried out with stitches, which remain until marriage. The victim’s legs are often bound together from hip to ankle and she is immobile for about a month or two.
This violence has to occur because, in much of the Islamic world, the female’s genital area is considered dirty and unacceptable. For example, in Egypt the uncircumcised girl is called nigsa (unclean). Thus, it has to be made “clean.”
Many of the victims lose their lives during this torture – which is often inflicted with broken glass. Many other victims are afflicted with acute and chronic infections for the rest of their lives.
With serious and disabling lifelong consequences, the mutilation robs women of their equilibrium. It deprives them from enjoying the fullness of their sexuality and the completeness of their lives. In terms of sexual pleasure, for instance, we know that approximately 75 percent of women cannot achieve orgasm without clitoral stimulation. In other words, the possibility of orgasm has been obliterated for tens of millions of women in the Muslim world. So what does it mean if the psychic, mental and physical health of women cannot be complete if they do not experience sexual pleasure?
The terror of the circumcision itself tracks its traumatized victims down like a nightmare. Most, if not all, of these poor women end up suffering from serious sexual and/or mental distortions. The mutilation of their sexual being becomes the epicenter where sex and violence meet constantly in their lives – with them as victims.
Wedding night is often quite eventful. In some parts of the Arab and African world, the husband assaults the wife after the wedding. In Somalia, for instance, the groom beats the bride with a leather whip. After this romantic apex, he cuts the sealed vagina with a sharp scalpel or razor in order to have intercourse. He then has prolonged repeated intercourse with her for a week – to prevent the scarring from closing the vaginal opening again. During this time the wife must lie still and not move. Meanwhile, the husband takes the bloody sharp object, which represents the virginity of his wife, and makes rounds around the community – showing it off for approval. Scholars such as Raphael Patai and Vincent Crapanzano have documented these phenomena.
After this honeymoon period, the woman is now, for the first time in her life, actually recognized as a person – because she has become the extension of her husband. Her status might even improve if she has a child (a boy). She will be humiliated and shamed, however, if she has a non-child (a girl).
And if a little innocent girl enters this world, it will only be a short time before her genitals share the same fate as that of her mother’s. When the torturers and soul-destroyers begin to slice, who will hear her cries?
