The Toronto Star – Jan. 23, 2002
While out for dinner last week with colleagues, we sat beside three 20-something women. There was the usual posing and glances exchange, and as they paid their bill two Muslim women entered and sat nearby. Whispers were quickly exchanged and we could hear, “Why do they wear those things anyway?” … “I feel sorry for them” … and so on.
As they filed out of the restaurant, we noticed they sported a mixed collection of the following: skin tight pants, short skirts, exposed midriffs, push-up bras, high heels, jewelry, see-through or plunging tops, piercings, lipstick and makeup, and one had breast implants for certain. We observed the two Muslim women as they were engaged in close conversation over coffee.

Muslim Women are Oppressed by Ignorant Non-Muslims
If you want to know how Muslim women feel, ask Muslim women. Don’t ask or listen to non-Muslims talking on behalf of Muslim women — people who pretend to champion Muslim women’s rights when they don’t know anything about Islam or Muslim women.
Hear what an Australian Muslim says about hijab.
