Muslim Woman Responds to Pauline Hanson\u2019s Outrageous Racist Behavior.<\/b><\/h1>\nThe following is an excerpt from an interview taken with Umm Jamaal Ud-Din, a teacher and Islamic scholar from Sydney in response to the recent hostility and provocations faced by Muslim women daily by both mainstream media and politicians.<\/span>\n\nOkay, what I\u2019d say is yes Muslim women need to be liberated but not from Islam and not from wearing the Hijab and Niqab.<\/span>\n\nIf anything I believe that Muslim women need to be liberated from the growing sense of fear and intolerance that\u2019s been projected towards Muslim women in this country.<\/span>\n\nWho are the scapegoats of this fear and hostility that has been perpetrated by media and politicians?<\/span>\n\nIt\u2019s Muslim women because we\u2019re the most visual out there in society.<\/span>\n\nAlready we\u2019ve seen a number of attacks taking place.<\/span>\n\n \n\nI\u2019ve personally had students who\u2019ve been walking along minding their own business in shopping centers and being spat on by men.<\/span>\n\nSo we notice that it\u2019s not really Muslim men that have been suffering the repercussions of this constant hostility projected towards Muslims, it\u2019s Muslim women who are actually suffering from all of this.<\/span>\n\nI think it\u2019s a sad day when in particular young Muslim women cannot feel safe to express themselves and to identify themselves with their own religion.<\/span>\n\nWhere a young Muslim woman has to compromise her Hijab out of the fear of the repercussions of wearing her Hijab.<\/span>\n\nWe all know that Australia is supposed to pride itself on being a free and democratic society where people are supposed to feel safe, but unfortunately for a lot of Muslim women, that\u2019s just not happening.<\/span>\n\n \n\nThey\u2019re not feeling that safety; in fact, they are feeling the fear of going out about their daily lives.<\/span>\n\nAnd I don\u2019t think anybody should have to experience that in Australia.<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
