In school, the headscarf is a tool used by extremists and fundamentalists to threaten jewish and catholic groups.

BTW, can you stop posting ignorant comments about a topic you do not know. Hijab/head scarf is a RELIGIOUS symbol and not every woman who wears the hijab is ARAB and/or OPPRESSED. so you need to get that out of your head. As a muslim WOMAN, your comment offends me greatly. Hijab is a religious mandate for women and a matter of choice. If some woman are oppressed by their men, it is possible. But why is it that in my ENTIRE life ..and all the muslim women that I grew up (and that is quite a lot), I have never met one who hadn't worn the hijab out of CHOICE. A family member just started wearing the Hijab couple of weeks ago because she wanted to become more RELIGIOUS, not CULTURAL. So please take your comment, go to your local mosque/muslim student organization and learn more about the hijab and hear from an AMERICAN-MUSLIM on why they do wear the hijab.
and you compare it to pissin on a tree? if that aint bigotry and a LIE i dont know what is!!
ETA: lol@muslim WOMEN being extremist/fundamentalist and wearing the hijab to scare catholic and jewish kids...BTW, we eat them too (but dont tell anybody)
