'Eastern Veling, Western Freedom"

After reading the article "Eastern Veling, Western Freedom" I gained a unique perspective on understanding Middle Eastern Religions. Before reading this article I never really understood why women wore veils in  Middle East cultures. I always thought it was part of Religion but never understood why. I was always quick to judge woman who wore them because of the many stereotypes that are associated with them and how its not common in American culture. However now after reading this article I can now have a basic understanding to why they wear the vails and tis significance make an impact a girl life.
