[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The British perspective, for anyone interested: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/lets-face-it--the-niqab-is-ridiculous-and-the-ideology-behind-it-weird-8831691.html[/quote] This reminded of a show I heard on WAMU the other day, about two British twins who had converted, one to Christianity and one to Islam. The Muslim sister said that she got lots of harassment for wearing the hijab, and wouldn't go out at night with her Muslim friends, would stay in rather than endure the abuse. While that harassment is very bad, and I think less prevalent here, the idea didn't occur to her that she was not being modest by wearing it. She was standing out, in a hugely negative way. That thought never occurred to her or her Muslim friends.[/quote] I don't know how you can put this on her vs. her harassers. Would you apply the same logic to a woman who got harassed for wearing a miniskirt? Better stay in, darling?[/quote]
