NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 7A MSA Continued from page 1A because it requires a great amount of effort and time to accomplish MSA's goals. Mustafa Gulam, an LSA freshman who is South Asian and ran for an LSA seat on MSA but did not win, said minorities sometimes feel that they cannot or do not want to go out and seek the power that lies in government positions. "Minorities ... will not have power so long as they themselves don't seek it out," Gulam said. Lee said that minorities have problems getting excited about the political system due to a general distrust and apathy of the system. He also said that not just minorities feel intimi- dated on MSA. An unfriendly atmosphere is created because representatives are not familiar with one another, he added. "When you're a minority in an assembly full of people that are different from you, and the environment is already relatively unfriendly, then it kind of compounds the issue of trying to get work done as a minority," Lee said. "It isn't an issue specific to minorities, but as a minority, it's a lot worse for us." H IJAB Continued from page 1A Jukaku, who is the vice president of Muslim Students'. Association, voiced similar concerns, worrying that non- Muslims may "see a Muslim woman with a hijab on the street (and) think that some man in their life - be it their husband or their father - is controlling them and that they don't have a mind of their own." In reality, many Muslim women in the United States make the very important decision for themselves. For LSA junior Lubna Grewal, the decision to wear hijab came in high school, after she decided to give Islam a more prominent role in her life. Grewal's sister, who is 8 years older than she, does not wear hijab, and thus Grewal was the first woman in her family to observe the modesty laws. Despite this, she said, her family has always fully supported her. "It was completely my decision," she said. "My family didn't know, but they supported me. I've never regretted it." For both Grewal and Jukaku, the decision to wear hijab is deeply rooted in their faith. "I think that it's my religious duty to wear it," said Grewal, adding that the vast majority of interpretations of the Quran, the Islamic holy book, dictate that women wear hijab. Jukaku agreed. "I want to follow what God has told me to do," she said, adding that wearing hijab also has practical benefits, as her modesty allows her to be appreciated for her intelligence rather than her physical appearance. Grewal said she feels wearing hijab is actually an empowerment. "A lot of times women are judged first on how they look and then how they think," she said, adding that hijab "makes me a person before it makes me an object." Like any religious practice, Grewal said wearing hijab is easy at times and hard at others. "Around Sept. 11 it was extremely difficult (to wear hijab) because there was so much negative association with Muslims and especially with women who wear hijab," she said, adding that it is easier for people to discriminate against Muslim women than anyone else, because "the second they see me they know I'm Muslim." Scholars have voiced this opinion too, saying that anti- Muslim sentiments are a reality in the United States. The veil has become "a visible marker for Muslim identity," said Naber. She went on to describe various ways hijab has been falsely linked to stereotypes of Muslim women. "People assume that women who wear the veil are foreign," she said. "Women in my research have said that people are surprised they speak English without an accent." Another, perhaps more dangerous stereotype placed upon "women in the veil," is that by wearing the veil and being Muslim, they are associated with terrorism. Since Sept. 11 and the war in Iraq, Naber said women wearing hijab were "impacted by hate crimes and harassment on the street more than any other group of people," adding that young Muslim girls reported being called "Sister of Saddam," or "Daughter of Osama" in their classrooms. This discrimination exists against women in the adult world as well. Grewal said she knew of a friend who was not hired for a teaching job in metro-Detroit because of her hijab. "Someone on the board (of education) didn't want A Muslim teaching their children," she said. Jukaku said she had similar concerns when interview- ing for business internships this past winter. "I was actually scared that I would be discriminated (against)," she said. "I have had numerous interviews, but I actually have an intern- ship over the summer in conservative corporate America. I was actually very pleased by that," she said, adding that it was encouraging to see some employers could look past her clothing and value her abilities. "At least the places I inter- viewed at, wearing hijab is not issue," she said. While wearing hijab may present some obstacles for Gre- wal and Jukaku, they still choose to make it a part of their live, and reject the falsehood that it is a decision made for them. "Its kind of disheartening that there is an image of Muslim women not being able to think for themselves," Gre- wal said. "Why can't I be the one making the decision, why does it have to be someone else?" the michigan daily S- - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - AL i i i i i r i i i i i i i i k ' . Space Available Now!
