Not being allowed to wear whatever you like, as now in France, is the true oppression. It was amazing hearing the questions, to hear what people actually believed about Arabic culture and Muslims. Like your daughter I’ve worked with people from the Middle East for many years. Beautiful people.

I think it is the only way to get some of the very bad misunderstandings about Middle-eastern culture and tradition out of the way.
It wasn’t until our oldest daughter had worked with muslim-women that she understood a headscarf is not a means of oppression … Not many people here in France are ready to consider this!
Enjoy enjoy! Tomorrow we’re off to Jo’burg (via Doha – we won’t be far from you!!)!!

We just left the city a couple of weeks ago after living there for two years. Amazing place with loads of depth that many miss.
Am craving good Arabic food now — miss it here in Florida!
