Woman Fired over Wearing Hijab
I commented a few times about this.
Peoples ignorant comments ASTOUND ME.
How is her Hijab hurting anyone?
It's her belief system.
And honestly, in today's day and age.. where I see TWEENS wearing clothes worthy of a strip club TO PROM... I think a little modesty can be learned from.
This woman is an american citizen, she was born here... Her rights are clearly specified...
The ignorant comments telling her to go back to where she came from.. COME ON SHE CAME FROM HERE. Moronic people.
So angry.
And what's horrible... is that this hatred has stemmed from 9/11....
Which was horrible... I lost many family friends and friends parents on that day...
But PEOPLE NEED TO SEE PAST THE RACE, THE RELIGION, and see what really happened.
A BAD GROUP of a CERTAIN CULTURE DID THIS TO US... NOT ALL MUSLIMS...
This hatred has got to stop... oh.. even better....
9/11 Hate Crime - FORGIVENESS!!!!!!
This made me happy to read.
Not a Yahoo article. . . but still....
I totally agree with you. She was hired while she was wearing it, so it's not like it was a surprise that she dumped on her employer after she was hired.
ReplyDeleteI hate blanket statements from people - the "all Muslims are evil" type stuff. Not all of them are. I'm willing to bet that not even the majority of them are. But because of 9/11, among other things, they will always be viewed as evil.
I am one of the most open-minded people that I know. I have friends with such diverse backgrounds and it makes me angry to hear when someone bashes someone soley on race or sexual orientation or whatever.
Gah. Need to get off of my soapbox now.
Good post!
exactly!... and this is only one part of discrimination, the constution says that everyone is created equal, but racism lives on in the minds of some, woman and men are equal, but some people still believe that men are better and woman should just housewives. even my parents hate "other cultures" and think america should be for "americans". i remember many times my mom told me i couldent be friends with black people,and after finding out i didnt listen, she started calling me a "nigger lover" and my telling me that if i ever brought a black guy home that he would shoot him.
ReplyDeleteso i am very glad that things like this enrage other people than me
