I really enjoyed this piece. I know that I am guily of believing that all muslim women are forced to wear thier veil if they were raised in the middle east. Of course this stereotype was a result of reading many artices that clump all of the people from the middle east as one type of person. Now after reading this I realized just how flawed it is to take what one reads as all factual. I almost felt dumb for not knowing that people from Iraq would not necessarily be like the people from Saudi Arabia. Its just like here, I'm from Minnesota and I live my life much differently than say a person from Hollywood or from Mexico.
