That has kindness and millions of women

Does it realistically give people a glimpse of struggles faced by millions? Of a religion that is marred and scarred by stereotypes and assumptions, that is rife with http://www.dressesforpromcheap.com/kate-spade-new-york-belted-bailey-polka-dot-ruffle-dress-p-1.html? That has incredibly intrepid people working for the benefit of the world? That has kindness and millions of women who are Muslim who do not wear hijab?Do we celebrate International Paghra Day with Sikhs? Or International Habit Day with Peruvian Nuns? International “Wear a Wig to Shul” Day with Orthodox Jews? Nope. Because that would be minimizing and politicizing their choice.

This dress-up activity is no more effective than having me wearing a firefighter outfit. I respect First Responders and love red. Does it give me full insight into their plight, intensity, committment, courage and years of training?No. No, it doesn’t.I can appreciate the attempt to provide change by http://www.dressesforpromcheap.com/kate-spade-new-york-black-kimberly-dress-2013-sale-p-2.html. But for me to think that I  am effecting change by wearing their firefighter gear is vain and selfish. It’s more curiosity on my part – not bridgebuilding.One of the most offensive and vile commentaries I have ever read on a woman trying out a burka was non-informative and reeked heavily of bigotry. Clearly her attempt was not to teach nor empathize. It was to get attention.

Then why exactly, is this type of adventure toted as something that could be beneficial?Already, there are very little positive images of Muslim women in media, with few exceptions.By inviting commentary, Muslim women are taking the power away from themselves. If Muslim women want to http://www.dressesforpromcheap.com/kate-spade-pink-silkcotton-normandy-colorblock-dress-cheap-p-3.html, perhaps NOT asking other women their unwarranted, unnecessary opinion may be the place to start.There have been many non-Muslim women (such as my teammates) who recognize their privilege, and instead of exploiting their power, they use it to support mine. Remember me? The woman who actually wears it full time?
