I found this article from ZaidAliT.
He's a youtuber :) and I guess this article, it's worth to be shared.
Worth to be read...
"I went to the mall, and a little girl called me a terrorist.
My name is Ela. I am seventeen years old. I am not Muslim, but my friend told
me about her friend being discriminated against for wearing a hijab. So I
decided
to see the discrimination firsthand to get a better
understanding of what Muslim women go through.
My friend and I pinned scarves around our heads, and then we went to the mall.
Normally, vendors try to get us to buy things and ask us to sample a snack.
Clerks usually ask us if we need help, tell us about sales, and smile at us.
Not today. People, including vendors, clerks, and other shoppers, wouldn't look
at us. They didn't talk to us. They acted like we didn’t exist. They didn't
want to be caught staring at us, so they didn't look at all.
And then, in one store, a girl (who looked about four years old) asked her mom
if my friend and I were terrorists. She wasn't trying to be mean or anything. I
don’t even think she could have grasped the idea of prejudice. However, her
mother’s response is one I can never forgive or forget. The mother hushed her
child, glared at me, and then took her daughter by the hand and led her out of
the store.
All that because I put a scarf on my head. Just like that, a mother taught her
little girl that being Muslim was evil. It didn't matter that I was a nice
person. All that mattered was that I looked different. That little girl may
grow up and teach her children the same thing.
This experiment gave me a huge wake-up call. It lasted for only a few hours, so
I can’t even begin to imagine how much prejudice Muslim girls go through every
day. It reminded me of something that many people know but rarely remember: the
women in hijabs are people, just like all those women out there who aren't Muslim."
