Fatemeh, you rawked the interview! I agree with Jamerican Muslimah--the interviewer was trying too hard to corner you into the argument of "Muslim women"="headscarf." Also, he wanted to make it seem like feminism had nothing to do with Muslimahs, or worse, make them diametrically opposed. But you had your wicked poise and held it against that fella. ::applause:: OMG! Fatemeh, you rawked the interview!

And I agree with you; like I said in the interview, "Muslim women" always seems to equal "headscarf"... Thanks, Jamerican!

I wish it could've been longer and less about the headscarf. I was little perturbed by him asking you if your focus should be on the problems in the Muslim World. I can't speak for you but personally, I'm Western. I was born in the West and I live in the West. While I can certainly offer a critique of some of the goings-on in the so called Muslim world I have never lived there and have never been there so I'd feel ill-equipped to take on their issues. As selfish as it may be, my primary concern is on what's happening in the country I live in. ASA,

Good job on the interview Fatemeh. I wish it could’ve been longer and less about the headscarf. I was little perturbed by him asking you if your focus should be on the problems in the Muslim World. I can’t speak for you but personally, I’m Western. I was born in the West and I live in the West. While I can certainly offer a critique of some of the goings-on in the so called Muslim world I have never lived there and have never been there so I’d feel ill-equipped to take on their issues. As selfish as it may be, my primary concern is on what’s happening in the country I live in.
