The document discusses the hijab and challenges faced by Muslim women in America. It describes the hijab as a religious head covering worn by Muslim women and notes that most Muslim women choose to wear it freely. However, some feel pressured to remove it due to social or legal reasons. The document also outlines that Muslim women, especially Pakistani and Bangladeshi women, face higher unemployment rates than white or black women. Some Muslim women change their names or remove their hijabs to try to find work, but their unemployment remains substantially higher.

PY688 Midterm Paper for Oct 17
American Muslim women face unique challenges with body image and self-esteem when navigating between their cultural traditions and Western culture in the United States. For some, wearing traditional Islamic dress like the veil can increase feelings of religious piety, community, and protection from objectification, thereby boosting self-esteem. However, others experience stereotyping, microaggressions, and pressure to adopt Western beauty standards when veiling, negatively impacting self-image. Counselors must avoid assumptions, actively listen to each woman's perspective, and help reduce internalization of unattainable ideals while respecting her cultural context.

This document discusses hijab, the meaning behind it, and common misconceptions. It begins by explaining that hijab is an Arabic word meaning "covering" and refers to the headscarves worn by some Muslim women. It then discusses how hijab has taken on political and social significance beyond just being a religious symbol. One example provided is Iran, where the hijab became a symbol of religious power after the 1979 revolution overthrew the Shah's ban on veiling and established new laws making veiling compulsory. The document also notes that in the US, stereotyping and misperceptions of veiled Muslim women often derive from political issues in other parts of the world, though the First Amendment protects religious freedom and right

· Option B, Kimberly
After reading the required readings and watching the video's, I have chosen Option B on: Women and the State.I have always been fascinated by different religions and traditions as well as why women wear hijabs or veils. Some of the reasons that women would wear the hijab are for self-censorship, feminism, their own identity, and preserving cultural traits. In the film “I wasn’t always dressed like this” one of them women observed how men would look and act towards women and her decision to wear the hijab and Niqab (full covering of the body with the exception of the hands and eyes), was one of self-reflection and the belief that a woman’s body was hers and not for a man to see, it was her decision to control what others could see of her, it was in itself a type of controlled feminism. It was a way for her to not only honor herself, her culture, her modesty, self-empowerment, but to honor God. “Many different understandings of the veil exist. To most, it is a symbol of identity or culture. Some have used it as a symbol of freedom, while others have used it as a symbol of suppression. Nonetheless, they all agree that it is symbolic of some sort of expression in society” (Galadari, 2012. p.116).
Since 9/11 media and society has linked the wearing of the hijab to terrorist and terrorist activity. instead of one of religion and self-reflection. Western societies are for the most part convinced that the hijab means that one is trying to hide their identity prior to committing atrocities. Media has played a big part in this belief and fear. Most people are so undereducated on the Muslim faith and the wearing of the hijab, veil, and niqab, that they believe the worst when seeing these in person. The most common stereotype is that of the veiled woman, a figure that ambivalently straddles both ideals of multicultural inclusivity and the threat of radicalization as context demands. One example of contemporary orientalism can be seen in media portrayals of Islam. “After 9/11, Muslims were stereotyped as threatening terrorists, but this stereotype was not new to 2001 but rather reborn. Media coverage of Iran’s Islamic Revolution had already planted this stereotype of the violent Muslim aggressor in modern America” (O’Connor, 2013).
The hijab is known by all that the Muslim faith adheres to. The hijab is also worn by Jewish faiths as an important part of their faith and modesty. “What constitutes [a violation of] Jewish practice? If she goes out with her hair [uncovered]” (Yosef, 2012). Jewish women today may also practice the use of a wig or covering of their own hair in solidarity for their sanctity of marriage and piety of their faith. In Mediterranean societies, the rich or upper socialites wore a type of veil to show that they were free and pure, whereas prostitutes and lower-class women were not permitted to wear a veil due to their impurity. In conservative Catholic faiths and societies, head coveri ...

One example provided is Iran, where the hijab became a symbol of religious power after the 1979 revolution overthrew the Shah's ban on veiling and established new laws making veiling compulsory. The document also notes that in the US, stereotyping and misperceptions of veiled Muslim women often derive from political issues in other parts of the world, though the First Amendment protects religious freedom and right

After reading the required readings and watching the video's, I have chosen Option B on: Women and the State.I have always been fascinated by different religions and traditions as well as why women wear hijabs or veils. Some of the reasons that women would wear the hijab are for self-censorship, feminism, their own identity, and preserving cultural traits. In the film “I wasn’t always dressed like this” one of them women observed how men would look and act towards women and her decision to wear the hijab and Niqab (full covering of the body with the exception of the hands and eyes), was one of self-reflection and the belief that a woman’s body was hers and not for a man to see, it was her decision to control what others could see of her, it was in itself a type of controlled feminism. It was a way for her to not only honor herself, her culture, her modesty, self-empowerment, but to honor God. “Many different understandings of the veil exist. To most, it is a symbol of identity or culture. Some have used it as a symbol of freedom, while others have used it as a symbol of suppression. Nonetheless, they all agree that it is symbolic of some sort of expression in society” (Galadari, 2012. p.116).
Since 9/11 media and society has linked the wearing of the hijab to terrorist and terrorist activity. instead of one of religion and self-reflection. Western societies are for the most part convinced that the hijab means that one is trying to hide their identity prior to committing atrocities. Media has played a big part in this belief and fear. Most people are so undereducated on the Muslim faith and the wearing of the hijab, veil, and niqab, that they believe the worst when seeing these in person. The most common stereotype is that of the veiled woman, a figure that ambivalently straddles both ideals of multicultural inclusivity and the threat of radicalization as context demands. One example of contemporary orientalism can be seen in media portrayals of Islam. “After 9/11, Muslims were stereotyped as threatening terrorists, but this stereotype was not new to 2001 but rather reborn. Media coverage of Iran’s Islamic Revolution had already planted this stereotype of the violent Muslim aggressor in modern America” (O’Connor, 2013).
The hijab is known by all that the Muslim faith adheres to. The hijab is also worn by Jewish faiths as an important part of their faith and modesty. “What constitutes [a violation of] Jewish practice? If she goes out with her hair [uncovered]” (Yosef, 2012). Jewish women today may also practice the use of a wig or covering of their own hair in solidarity for their sanctity of marriage and piety of their faith. In Mediterranean societies, the rich or upper socialites wore a type of veil to show that they were free and pure, whereas prostitutes and lower-class women were not permitted to wear a veil due to their impurity. In conservative Catholic faiths and societies, head coveri ...

The Hijab is said to be an oppressive part of the Muslim faith, but contrary to popular belief most Muslim women actually enjoy and love wearing the Hijab and they embrace it, saying it is their right and their freedom as an American. The Hijab has even been banned in France.
