[quote=Anonymous][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]

This. I'm Muslim and make no mistake - the parents in America forcing or even encouraging their daughters to do this are doing it to isolate them and make sure there's minimal assimilation. Doesn't matter if they're poor or UMC or anything in between - there is a goal that is not spoken to anyone who is non Muslim.[/quote]
