[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pity any Muslim woman who wears a head scarf or anything covering her body in the name of religion. It's disgusting and I do think of them as less educated, less tolerant, and someone I can't trust in the long term. It's also,oppressive to them. Men don't do anything in the name of modesty but women have to? I unfortunately will never hire anyone who wears a headscarf. Religion should always be a private thing. And I do not condone a religion that refuses to accommodate itself to the Western society that many of its people now live in.[/quote]

I am not fond of the hijab and question its authenticity since [b]it did not exist before the 1980's.  I am very intolerant of any argument for it along the lines of my religion requires it.  No a thousand times it does not.[/b]

However, there are many reasons for wearing it and I wouldn't want to make assumptions that put the wearer in a bad light.  There are some whose families would not let them work unless they wear the hijab, for example.  I definitely would not want to discriminate against these women who are doing everything within their constraints to be productive members of society.[/quote]

Muslim women covered their heads since wayyyyy before the 1980s. [/quote]
