Do you think it may be used to cover shoes?
Of course politicians are smart enough not to mention the Hijab in their bill, but we all know what they are targeting here!

Our Muslim Students Union is planning on doing a petition on campus and we don't want to find out after collecting all the signatures that it's too late.

Dear Senator ______

Our country was founded on the pursual of religious freedom. Fleeing persecution of the British Empire, the first Pilgrims made their way to the Americas. It is appalling to see those very freedoms being stripped and removed.

I urge you remove such appalling bans from consideration lest we might be remembered for bigotry

How could you say such a thing!? If the bill passes, muslims women in oklahoma wouldn't be able to have driver liscences since it forces them to disobey their lord. As you know many americans depand on car transportation.

This is a form of prosecution because it is banning muslim woman from driving if they do not show people their hair (their driver liscence that shows the police officers the womens' hair )!

Remember how the prophet (may peace and blessing be upon him) and the companions were forced to make hijrah to Madina.

If it passes, protest and send letters until justice it made.

Maybe since I gave them my full name and phone number they were able to get that information on their own.

I'm glad you did receive a reply though, at least the emails are being read.
