Covered Girls

The beginning of the short film "Covered Girls" caught me off guard. The girl wearing a hijab rapping was a great introduction to show that underneath the hijab they are just regular Americans. The girls story made me feel really bad about how they were treated after 9/11, because as someone who knows a lot of people who were lost in the World Trade Center I was definitely one of the people who harbored resentment for them. I realize now that the entire religion cannot be blamed for the actions of a few individuals. It is especially unfair tp blame the entire religion because a lot of the U.S's Islamic enemies are not even devoutly religious. I worked with the lead interrogator for Saadam Hussein this summer and he told us that Saadam isn't even religious he just acts religious in order to attract supporters in the middle east.
