[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to high school (an all-girls independent school) with a Muslim girl, who really struggled when her family made her start wearing a hijab. It was devastating to her at first and she tried fighting it, but then she finally gave up the battle. A spark in her died with that headscarf and whether it was self-imposed or the other kids discomfort, [b]she went from being fairly popular to really isolated.[/b] I always felt so sorry for her. When I see a woman in a hijab, part of me pities her. The other part is angry that she doesn't fight harder for her rights and continues wearing that symbol of oppression.[/quote] Mission accomplished. Her family prevented her from becoming too enmeshed in non-Muslim society and from having too many non-Muslim friends. The isolation was the point. [/quote]
