“That's a relief," I admitted. "So, you're aware...does that mean you were a criminal back home?" "Yes." "And?" "And what?" "What were you convicted of?" I asked. "Ah. Improper use of resources."

“Why would a semi-nude woman walking down the street — and the society around her — have a problem with a woman wearing a hijab? Because, deep down, both she and society are aware: silently, countless eyes are undressing her, treating her as a sexual object, looking at her as a showpiece of sex. It's not just about religion. It's a matter of an inferiority complex — something that, somewhere deep inside, feels like a quiet shame imposed on her dignity by her own choice of clothing and fashion. And so, for the sake of self-satisfaction, they want to snatch the hijab from another woman — a woman who chose the hijab just as another chooses semi-nude fashion. The woman in hijab pays the price for refusing to participate in the shame society and fashion tries to impose on her.”
