Symbolizing Roles

This reading had a very powerful message. I felt like the author touched on many good points, the conclusion especially was good. The western attitude towards veils, and the culture behind them, is sad and frankly embarrassing to those of us who are socially accepting. There is no reason to alienate people based on what they want to wear. I for one think cowboy hats are ridiculous and look silly on people but I do not spend my time trying to get people to stop wearing them, because it is their expression of character. As the author said, "we all have our veils". So do not patronize others for theirs.
