Here is some taqiyya for you this fine Monday morning. In a classic text book case of what I have called the Three Toxic Stews of the West; excessive diversity, multiculturalism and political correctness. Here is touching story of a young woman who proudly wears the hijab. This is the islamic head scarf. She calls this 'liberating' and how can this be liberating when she keeps an emergency one to go out to get the mail? Or has trouble getting a simple hair cut?
Good luck purging the ever increasing 'negative stereotypes' of islam when islam is guilty of murdering, torturing and persecuting innocent victims each and every day around the world.
"Do Muslim women wear the coverings every time they leave the house?
Ahmed does. In fact, she keeps an emergency hijab by the door to put on in case she needs to duck out quickly to get the mail."
How is that for freedom? So what if she is caught without her head scarf? A polite caning, a beating in the back room at the local terrorist center, opps, I mean mosque, being shunned by her husband, denied food and care by her husband if she is unfortunate to married to a devout muslim man? If she was married to anything but a devout muslim man she might be already dead from the ancient islamic tradition of honor killings.
How about getting a haircut?
What happens if a Muslim woman needs to get a haircut?
"That can be tricky, Ahmed said. Ahmed went to a MasterCuts in Mechanicsburg once and a man walked in. According to Islam, a man is not supposed to see a woman without her covering.
Flustered, Ahmed tried to make herself inconspicuous.
Since then, she's found a stylist that caters mostly to women, she said."
Why do the schools have this garbage being promoted? Do OTHER real religions get equal time and coverage? This is about bullying? Well how about a week long seminar on the horrors of islam for the last 1400 plus years? How about how the pillars of islam have killed an estimated 270 million innocent people since the pervert mohammad founded his perverse brand of islam, hijacking it and making it the blood drenched cult it is today? How about some truth in our schools? That is not going to happen as long as we let saudi funded programs and text books brainwash our children from kindergarten up through high school. The house of saud donates million and millions of dollars to the text book industry. They make sure islam is whitewashed to be good and pure, and America is made out ot be evil and wicked.
islam is the one who really is in almost complete control of the media and our education system.
Do your home work on this and you will be shocked. Is this what you want in our schools?

Muslim woman promotes understanding at Spring Grove schools diversity event
Rabiya Ahmed told Spring Grove middle schoolers why she chooses to wear traditional Muslim garb.
By BILL LANDAUER
York, PA - Rabyia Ahmed says her hair is thick and dark. A few wisps of mahogany brown poked from beneath the black scarf she wore Friday as she spoke to a group of seventh- and eighth-graders as Spring Grove Area Middle School.
But the full sweep of Ahmed's locks is reserved for very few -- close family members, other women and one day her husband.
The Islamic practice of wearing a hijab -- or a scarf covering the hair -- isn't repression, Ahmed said. It's liberation.
"To me it represents modesty," she said, hours after she explained her garb to students participating in a school diversity program. "It represents freedom from these stares I get from people only looking at my body. Someone talks to
Rabyia Ahmed started wearing a hijab in 2004 in part because she liked the message that outer beauty is reserved for a woman and her husband. (Daily Record/Sunday News -- Jason Plotkin)
me. . . . They're getting to know my heart instead of just my body."
The 25-year-old assistant director of multicultural affairs at York College told the students why she chooses to wear hijabs during the Spring Grove Area Middle School's Day of Acceptance. Students listened to other presentations about a variety of races, cultures, religions and circumstances, from Judaism to children with autism. They also played tolerance-themed games throughout the day.
Friday was the last of six similar days the school has devoted to diversity awareness since October, Assistant Principal Melissa Resek said. The idea came from teachers at the district who wanted to do something about bullying, Resek said.
Promoting diversity doesn't specifically send the message give up bullying, she said. Instead, it makes students understand and maybe sympathize with those who might be different.
The program is working, Resek said. There have been fewer incidents of children harassing other children this year, and "kids are more apt to stand up and say when (bullying or insensitivity) is wrong," she said.
Since she first started wearing a hijab in November 2004, Ahmed has gotten her share of dirty looks and obscene gestures. She was born in Karachi, Pakistan, moved to New York City four years later and eventually landed in York.
Growing up, Ahmed's family relegated wearing hijabs to Muslim Sunday school or certain religious festivals.
When she turned 19, Ahmed decided to start wearing the hijab. The terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were three years old, and she felt the media was skewering her home and her culture. Some of her friends at York College wore hijabs, and she liked the message -- your outer beauty is for you and your husband.
During a visit from Pakistan, her grandmother had given her a hijab, a black velvet one with fringe. Wrapping it around her head made her nervous. What would people say?
She picked a day, then put it off for three more. Finally, the Thursday before Ramadan, she ironed it, put it on and left her bedroom.
At York College, she sat in the back of the class and hoped no one would notice. She sensed a few glances, but no one said anything until later, when she got some compliments from friends.
Ahmed's mother was less complimentary. She worried that her daughter would never find a job or a husband. Sometimes, she's pointed out attractive Muslim women who choose not to conceal their hair.
Ahmed has tried to push her mother's fears aside.
"I can be the . . . living example of a Muslim girl and purge negative stereotypes," she said.
Hijab 101
Hijab, the covering some Muslim women wear, means "to conceal" in Arabic.
Rabyia Ahmed, York College's assistant director of multicultural affairs, talked to seventh- and eighth-graders at Spring Grove Area Middle School Friday about the practice of wearing hijabs.
Where do you buy the coverings?
Some of Ahmed's coverings come from her native Pakistan or other places like India.
"I got this one at Boscov's," she told the class, holding up a green square of cloth.
Ahmed pulled several hijabs from a tote bag, red silk scarves with sequin designs, black cloths with frilly lace trim and sheer pink fabric with stylish designs.
Some had designer labels like Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren.
How does a woman wear a hijab?
Different cultures wear them differently, Ahmed said. Ordinarily, Ahmed folds her hijab and pins it under the chin and behind her head. She's outfitted some of the pins with decorative beads.
Do Muslim women wear the coverings every time they leave the house?
Ahmed does. In fact, she keeps an emergency hijab by the door to put on in case she needs to duck out quickly to get the mail.
What happens if a Muslim woman needs to get a haircut?
That can be tricky, Ahmed said. Ahmed went to a MasterCuts in Mechanicsburg once and a man walked in. According to Islam, a man is not supposed to see a woman without her covering.
Flustered, Ahmed tried to make herself inconspicuous.
Since then, she's found a stylist that caters mostly to women, she said.
