Burqa

Everyone has the right to express their religion and their beliefs. They have a right to practice it like everyone else in society.

I had opportunities and freedoms. One of them was the freedom to choose whether or not to wear a burqa-and I chose not to.” This quote shows that her and her mother were very different, her…

costume idea that was not intended to be racist at all until the media blew it up like an atomic bomb. How has wearing a costume become offensive?
