My god please do more videos about muslim. I am not muslim im shinto but i know that there is a message. The more you do this, you are doing the world alot of good. People need to learn about different religions.

The scarf identifies a Muslim and opens her up to inquiry and discrimination. Muslim women aren’t the only modest women in the world, but a woman who identifies herself as a Muslim through her headscarf faces prejudices regardless of the rest of her outfit. The show addresses this and examines it. The actresses could have worn looser clothing to better illustrate it, but if you listen to them, you may also get a Muslim woman’s perspective on why she chooses to veil, despite the consequences

The point of this webisode is to show the TE'A Company's process of connecting with people, and the learning and deepening of insight that occurs from those connections. We learned there are a many different ways people choose to understand and practice their faith and their commitment to that faith. However, had we to do it over, we would probably be more conscious about having the woman in the hijab wear clothing that reflects a more conservative interpretation of the Headscarf.
