Proud to wear Hijab - an Egyptian Pop Song Celebrates Women Embracing Hijab



The song's translation means : Congratulations to ladies wearing hijab. Truly this is the right and best thing for you. May God(swt) guide and be with you."

If you've ever wondered what hijab looks like in the eyes of Egyptian women, here is one snapshot. Hijab is a choice. Hijab is not imposed by men. Hijab is a beautiful expression of self esteem and devotion to God. :)

I love the scarves in this one...they are so pretty!

    Hello,

    I like your blog very much. It celebrates beauty in all its diversity.

    I'm doing feminist research on how American foreign policy affects popular support for terrorism. My theory is that America’s hegemonic activity fuels popular support for terrorism, but I need data to support that hypothesis. I plan to conduct a large international survey in order to collect that data. Before I conduct the survey, however, I need to devise a survey instrument that is non-biased (non-western, non-white). I strongly believe that the biggest reason that America is losing the war on terror is that we aren’t listening to the people that matter the most—everyone else. The same principal applies to my survey: it won’t do any good if I’m not asking the right questions.

    So I’m asking for your help.

    I’ve put together a pre-survey questionnaire to help fashion a survey that hopefully will ask the right questions― one that takes race, religion, and gender issues into consideration rather than just making the same old geopolitical assumptions that political scientists in my field tend to make. I’m particularly interested in incorporating the views of women, non-whites, and people living outside of America and Western Europe. The final survey will go out once the pre-survey data has been collected and analyzed.

    The survey can be accessed at

    Please take a moment and fill out the questionnaire.

    Thank you!
    Take care,

    John Maszka
