[quote]I'm so sorry that I have been out of the discussion . . . my regular campus classes started this week and it's been a little crazy around here! saba2 - Thank you very much for sharing that poem; I hope you do not mind, but I would like to share it at our Multicultural Center here in town, as I think it would give the people in our area some very valuable insights into the true meaning of Islam. And I'll read that thread, thank you! safimera - I will have to get the book out of the library again that had the chapter on the coffee debate in early Islam, so that I can accurately cite who said what; I apologize that I do not trust my memory enough to quote names accurately. I do understand what you are saying about respect being a possible (and I would hope desired) outcome from wearing the hijab, but I was unfortunately thinking of the possibility of the attention gained being harassment or even violence, a very real possibility here in America to my great disgust. Just as an example, last week a New York cab driver had his throat cut for being Muslim . . .
