Hijab means to separate not veil

I came upon an interesting article in the Washington Post about what Hijab really means. I know that the woman writing the article will be ignored by most Americans because sadly and for at least the last 20 years, students and now young millennials have been brainwashed to spew hatred and talk of microaggressions and are the worst generation with the most narcissists imaginable. That generation doesn't care about truths. Truths are a tricky thing now. Because everything is relative to them, and everything depends on what the person you are talking to thinks, not actual facts or reason or dear omg LOGIC.

The Author, Asra, writes an intelligent and factual article about the origins of the Hijab and how certain tribal fractions and political and violent take overs has forced the Hijab onto Muslim women. But never mind facts and logic American youth, no no keep on with your spoon-fed PC indoctrinated newspeak garbage. Orwell would be so proud to know that you have carried out his predictions with such accuracy.

The Author of the article writes at the end, which I think should have been at the start of her piece, "Do not wear a headscarf in “solidarity” with the ideology that most silences us, equating our bodies with “honor.” Stand with us instead with moral courage against the ideology of Islamism that demands we cover our hair."

But here is what will happen when someone like myself posts her article with absolute facts and truth. I and anyone else who does will be told how hateful we are, how we hate Muslims, how dare we, and we have offended others, and that we are Islamaphobic.

So I put this request right back onto the author Asra Q. Nomani who is a former Wall Street Journal
reporter and the author of “Standing Alone: An American Woman’s Struggle for the Soul of Islam.” She is a co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement, a new initiative of Muslims and their allies, advocating peace, human rights and secular governance.

Asra has to speak out, and not just in the newspaper. She needs to get on the mainstream television news stations at all costs and get heard and spread this truth. Because sadly the culture of America is ruined and laced with the poison of PC.

She can be reached at asra@asranomani.com. Hala Arafa is a retired journalist who worked for 25 years at the International Bureau of Broadcasting as a program review analyst. She was a news editor at the Arabic branch of the Voice of America.
