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

Posted on 01/18/2016 4:40:22 PM PST by steve86

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?)

Named Zion? Raised Catholic? President of the Muslim Student Association?

Do I sense some confusion here? Pick a religion and stick with it.

Go all the way, get a clitorectomy and be sure not to leave the house without a male relative lest you be stoned to death.

How many muslims could look at her normal clothes and put them on let alone walk any distance?

“They really have to be strong. It takes tremendous courage to walk around wearing hijab.”

Not in Seattle.

Try walking around Paris or Cologne, NOT "wearing hijab".

You'll see a bit of a difference.

I suggest wearing your regular American clothing in Muslim-majority areas.

In fact, I encourage you to do so.

You'll get such an "edumacation", you won't have to worry about tearing off your own clothing over getting a few "stares".

In fact, I'm sure that some nice Muslim men will do it for you.

Geez, Seattle is liberal and stupid, but I had no idea that they had this level of stupid.

There are hijabs and coverings everywhere.

Nobody cares.

This whole story is bullshit.

The Seattle Times should be ashamed to write such a blatantly false "news" item.

So she was disgusted because those she tried to support carved out her clitoris with a razor blade and then married her off to a 72 year old geezer with three other wives . . . oh wait. I’m being realistic and factual and she’s being a drama queen without any sense of irony.

She’s lucky. If she was in the Middle East, they would have raped her, then stoned her, for being out in public without a male.

She should ask her Muslim friend to wear a crucifix and see what happens.

Wave an Islamic State flag on a college campus and then compare it with the response when waving a flag of Israel. .......................................... In today’s schools, you might even try to wave an American Flag.

More likely she put on the satanic garb and the demons which own that religion entered her mind. besides isn’t islam’s name submit? I usually ignore anyone wearing such stuff. It they don’t have basic human self respect, then i’m not obligated either.

Bingo. The Jews weren’t wearing the stars to advertise their religious faith. They were made to wear them.

If she wants to walk a mile in their shoes she should have her dad beat her for not being accompanied by a male relative.

Of course Christians once cared about modesty as well, without a full hijab. Why isn’t modesty preached and practice by Christians anymore?

Read the whole article. It was the teen-ager’s self consciousness. At the end, it says that she kept wearing it and after a week, forgot she was even wearing it.

However, after the first few hours, she was miserable and thought that everyone was gawking at her and scowling. . .that wouldn’t go away in a week if it were true.

Nazis had a delusional leader, but were civilized.

The Germans thought they were very civilized. But that is neither here nor there. Trump is not now nor is he ever going to become like Hitler - period. So lets not go there.
