The Jewish religion also commands its women to don the veil and the niqab/purdah/burkah. This video details it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0f26n5Hyno

It helps the “Islamofascist agenda” that so many Muslims are virtually illiterate and cannot confirm this fact for themselves.

Please sign this petition initiated by a Judge in GA.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/JudgeRollins/?e

To summarize, Keith Rollins is a licensed attorney in the State of Georgia and works as a Judge in Douglasville, GA. It is our opinion that Judge Rollins has participated in a pattern of systematically depriving persons of their civil rights based upon their race, color, sex, religious identification and national origin. By incarcerating or threatening to incarcerate Muslim women in Douglasville, GA who wear their required head covering (hijab) to his court, Judge Rollins has repeatedly violated his minimal professional duties and the protected rights of multiple persons. The victims of his behavior include Lisa Valentine, Sabreen Abdul Rahman and Halimah Abdullah.

Police to get sensitivity training after headscarf-wearer’s arrest:

i think it is worth pointing out that the judge himself will also participate in the sensitivity training. and that the sister admitted to using an expletive at the time. alhamdolillah alaa kulli haal, one good result of all this should be, inshaAllah, that Muslim women wearing hijab (and hopefully munaqabahs, too) will get more considerate treatment at that courthouse, and maybe elsewhere if word spreads.

And any male of dark skin in this society knows how he has to be extremely careful in certain locations, neighborhoods, etc. when driving, shopping, socializing or conducting business. Your experiences are quite valid, but it is more than likely that people may dislike your wife because of their ignorance and because of her faith. If she was not a hijabi or a niqabi, I am sure she would be treated quite different. Perhaps because of my location (Northeast) where cultures are so varied, things are very different here. Muslims with white skin are often viewed as Muslims, just as Muslims with dark skin are also viewed as … Muslims. Masha Allah, most of our security concerns are related to gang activity. I am your sister in Islam and sincerely apologize if I have offended you.
