Wow, what a great post about showing the truths about Muslim women (as opposed to strengthening stereotypes) and hijabs. This post is via “A Broad’s View,” and I found it via “Aisha’s Oasis.”

That article is deserving of the further dissemination that you have granted it Christy and I can think of a few letterboxes I’d like to stuff it into as well. I imagine that to wear the hijab invokes a cultural pride similar to what this Irishman feels on donning his Donegal Tweed flat cap.
Yes Mike I would imagine it is a similar sense of pride. Thanks for taking time to stop by.
So happy to see this reblog here, too, Christy! You set a wonderful example of compassion and tolerance, and I really appreciate you!
Oh Aisha, your words here are ones I cherish! Thank-you and I appreciate that you first brought this post to my attention. ♥
I would like to add, that the veil is a very important part for Muslim women. and for a Muslim woman not just wear but should be able to reflect the attitudes and behavior are good and the principal is to maintain the dignity as a woman.

Thanks for adding that note to the post too!
I read that post at Aisha’s Oasis… Thanks for deconstructing Myths about this practice… Best wishes, Aquileana :D
I really learned so much from the post and wanted to share it for others to learn too! Thanks, Aqui and so glad you are here :)
Thanks for sharing this post, Christy. It’s always good to challenge stereotypes!
Yes and we’re always learning, aren’t we? Thanks, Judith!
Christy!
I left this comment on the post & I leave it here for you as well.
I find this an interesting article. I was the Costume Designer (76 episodes) on a TV series “Little Mosque On The Prairie” The creator, Zarqa Nawaz, was my first Muslim friend. She is a/ the woman you speak of, and she has written a new book…. “Laughing All The Way To The Mosque”

I hope you will check her out!
Hi Resa, I’m glad you left the comment here too so I could read it. I remember the show and how wonderful to learn that you were costume designer for it I will take a look at her site and book details ♥
Thanks, Christy!
Zarqa is at least 1000 worlds ahead of what is going on in the middle east. Hers is a positive, loving and open voice to be heard!
Resa, I looked at her site yesterday and really liked what I saw and read! I always enjoy learning and it’s great when friends show me new things :)
