An article in the Huffington Post, What do Muslim Women do for Fun? This title really caught my eye. Yes, I do really wonder what Muslim women do for fun. The little caption underneath says espically women who wear a veil. When a women is wearing a veil it is hard to really know ones identity underneath that veil. usually these veils are plain and black. It really takes away ones identity and personal likes, dislikes and anything else you  can tell from what a person wears, says or does. Some of the things the Muslim women asked said was cooking, hanging out with friends and family, going to the park, read, etc. Yes, these are normal women, but it is just so hard to imagine that with a veil covering up so much of ones self. Some quotes fro the women: "Sahar (32, NY): I love to get pedicures, go on sushi dates with my best friend and love to bake cakes!!" "Hebatallah (28, Wash.): Spending family time in the park, reading novels; volunteering to help the environment as much as possible; and enjoying a good laugh :)"
