After reading Persepolis I was curious as to why some women wear the veil and others do not. not from a political side just generally curious as to what the hijab represents. Although this video does not answer my question, it does shed light on the fact that by wearing a veil women in the world as being questioned about their intentions just because of an article of clothing. So even though I am curious, and so are others, it is important to remember that these women are people too and we should be sensitive to how we approach the subject because there is so much media misrepresentations. Wearing the veil has become a big debate in the Muslim culture because it can be used as an item of suppression but if a woman is choosing to wear it then she should not be ridiculed for her choice.
