Another day

Not many Americans, like myself, are not educated or aware when it comes to other religions, especially Middle Eastern religions. After reading the article it has came to my attention that us Westerns do see veiling as a symbol to the Eastern women and are not aware that it could be voluntarily due to religion practice or the true meaning. My good friend I had met here in college is Syrian and actually came to the United States about 8 years ago. Out of the 4 years I have known her I have never seen her with a veil and I never had thought about it till now, why doesn't she wear one. Funny thing is when I asked her what she thought about veils, she said they were pretty and suddenly changed the subject. Maybe I'll ask her another day about this article and get her feedback.
