Document Summary
What is islamophobia and how has this implicated muslim women in particular, unfounded hostility toward islam, and therefore fear and dislike of all muslims. Implicated muslim women by a continuation of the othering: othering the hijab in western europe, women are singled out as the living example of backwardness and fearful subordination. Orient as ancient, exotic and absurd: supine men and suppressed women, assumed differences in mind, intellect, had to be ruled by the west for their own good , western man was superior to the eastern man. How does afshar present muslim women"s wearing of the hijab in western. Interpreting the text of the quran (koran) and defining their rights: mohajabehs: refers to women who cover or women who chose to cover, an inclusive practice, not diverse, a choice/freedom. I know many who portray the hijab as the placard for either forced silence or fundamentalist regimes; but personally i found it to be neither . (nusrat 2012, nyt)
