| Abstract
|
:
|
Since 9/11 and the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which has killed thousands of people, Americans have become increasingly weary of Muslims. This fear of the “other” is increased by the news media portraying Muslims in mostly extreme acts especially related to terrorism. More specifically women who wear the hijab stand out and face prejudice because it’s an outward symbol of their religion. Muslim American women who wear the hijab are now choosing to do so to represent their religion in a positive manner and to create a dialogue with people about the misconceptions of their faith.
