[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Look, I lived in a Muslim country for years and I am confident I know the history of the hijab. And that women wear it regardless of their "standing" in the faith. You're wrong to make this about her being Muslim. She doesn't make other Muslim women look bad because this has nothing to do with her being Muslim. Just like white male senators who sleep around don't make all white men look bad. This is about Ilhan Omar. Not her religion. Full stop.

I don't care about Ilhan's activities of any kind, but I did notice that she often does not wear a hijab but usually a headscarf or a head covering that does not cover the neck as the hijab does. I will also note that a colleague at an international organization who is a Somali lesbian wears a headscarf at work but not outside of work. The type of head covering and when to wear it may be situational.

I think I read that Omar has said that she started wearing it after 9/11.  In her case, perhaps it is a political stand.

And, to first PP, many [u[b]pperclass wealthy urban[/b]] women in Iran never wore a hijab prior to the fall of the Shah.  All must wear it now whether they wish to do so or not.[/quote]

Fixed that for you.  I know you resist that knowledge, but the return of the ayatollah was nothing short of triumphant. [/quote]
