According to your article, discrimination complaints from Muslim women have sharply increased. American Muslim women are being denied jobs, singled out at the airport and given a hard time in acquiring driver's licenses because of the head scarf. I speak from experience as I, too, have been a victim of discrimination at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
For those who consider the head scarf to be a threat to their security, here is some good news: Check any newspaper, and you will hardly see an American Muslim woman, especially one who wears the head scarf, charged with murder, kidnapping, bank robbery, theft or prostitution. This is a clear message through action that the head scarf is a symbol of, not a threat to, security.
