Hijab Battles
Around the World

Tayyibah, St. Paul Minnesota. Fatima, Creil, France. Samira, Algiers, Algeria. What do these women have in common? They are all Muslim, and they've all had a run-in with the law.
Their crimes, you ask? Wearing Hijab, or the Islamic head scarf. Worldwide there seems to be a growing consensus that a few yards of cloth on a woman's head, especially if it covers part or all of her face, is a threat to education, women's rights, public security and even to freedom of religion itself.
