At my health club on the campus of a Chicago university, I recently watched a young Muslim woman covered in head-to-toe religious garb -- head scarf, long-sleeve tunic and long pants -- as she played basketball with her boyfriend, a tall, black-haired youth dressed in jeans and a striped button-down shirt. All around them, shapely women in skimpy shorts and tight tank tops cavorted on treadmills and Stairmasters, but the black-haired youth had eyes only for his head scarf sweetie. Pretty and slender, the girl moved with the grace of a natural athlete. When her boyfriend missed a shot, she caught the ball on the short bounce, then, planting her sneaker clad feet firmly on the court, launched it toward the basket, where it whooshed easily through the net. Her boyfriend gave her a high five, and she grinned proudly. Though loose fitting, the girl's clothes were far from frumpy.
Muslim women who 'were forced to remove their hijabs' file a suit | Daily Mail Online
A nyone walking on the streets of Egypt will notice a phenomenon that wasn't so evident only a year ago: the increasing numbers of little girls and by "little", I mean as young as eight years old in some cases wearing headscarves and abayas. While this sight was previously confined to third-class trains and rural areas, it has now become increasingly common in cities and among well-to-do families. In general, the age at which Muslim girls in Egypt begin to wear the scarf has dropped. Back when I was in high school, very few female students wore headscarves. Today, my younger brother who is 15 tells me that almost all the girls in his middle school wear a scarf.
Muslim women who 'were forced to remove their hijabs' file a suit
By Germania Rodriguez For Dailymail. Two Muslim women who allege they were forced to remove their hijabs when they were arrested have filed a civil rights lawsuit against New York City , arguing their religious liberties were violated. Jamilla Clark and Arwa Aziz claim police officers forced them to remove their head scarfs for mugshots even though they repeatedly stated doing so was against their faith, according to a federal class-action lawsuit filed on Friday. The women are seeking unspecified damages as well as a change of a city policy that requires head coverings be removed for official photos taken by the police department - even if they don't cover someone's face, like a hijab, which usually covers the head and chest.
