In the name of Islamic dawah diversity, as sharia creeps. Islam means submission, in your public schools using your tax dollars. via Muslim woman promotes understanding at Spring Grove schools diversity event – The York Daily Record.
Rabiya Ahmed told Spring Grove middle schoolers why she chooses to wear traditional Muslim garb.

Rabyia Ahmed, York College’s assistant director of multicultural affairs, talked to seventh- and eighth-graders at Spring Grove Area Middle School Friday about the practice of wearing hijabs.
York, PA – Rabyia Ahmed says her hair is thick and dark. A few wisps of mahogany brown poked from beneath the black scarf she wore Friday as she spoke to a group of seventh- and eighth-graders as Spring Grove Area Middle School.
But the full sweep of Ahmed’s locks is reserved for very few — close family members, other women and one day her husband.
The Islamic practice of wearing a hijab — or a scarf covering the hair — isn’t repression, Ahmed said. It’s liberation.
“To me it represents modesty,” she said, hours after she explained her garb to students participating in a school diversity program. “It represents freedom from these stares I get from people only looking at my body. Someone talks to me. . . . They’re getting to know my heart instead of just my body.”
Rabyia Ahmed started wearing a hijab in 2004 in part because she liked the message that outer beauty is reserved for a woman and her husband. The 25-year-old assistant director of multicultural affairs at York College told the students why she chooses to wear hijabs during the Spring Grove Area Middle School’s Day of Acceptance. Students listened to other presentations about a variety of races, cultures, religions and circumstances, from Judaism to children with autism. They also played tolerance-themed games throughout the day.
Where’s the ACLU? It’s possible this was an opt-in event, but even if it were, why are children learning about any religion in public schools?
Friday was the last of six similar days the school has devoted to diversity awareness since October, Assistant Principal Melissa Resek said. The idea came from teachers at the district who wanted to do something about bullying, Resek said.
Promoting diversity doesn’t specifically send the message give up bullying, she said. Instead, it makes students understand and maybe sympathize with those who might be different.
The program is working, Resek said. There have been fewer incidents of children harassing other children this year, and “kids are more apt to stand up and say when (bullying or insensitivity) is wrong,” she said.
Since she first started wearing a hijab in November 2004, Ahmed has gotten her share of dirty looks and obscene gestures. She was born in Karachi, Pakistan, moved to New York City four years later and eventually landed in York.
Growing up, Ahmed’s family relegated wearing hijabs to Muslim Sunday school or certain religious festivals.
When she turned 19, Ahmed decided to start wearing the hijab. The terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were three years old, and she felt the media was skewering her home and her culture. Some of her friends at York College wore hijabs, and she liked the message — your outer beauty is for you and your husband.
Did Ahmed teach the future of America that Islam permits men to have four wives, to marry underage girls, that the best Muslim – Mohammed – married a six-year old, that Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslim men, and that Muslim women and girls are frequently killed if they “shame” their families? A troubling trend right here in the United States and Canada.
A few examples of what Ahmed calls “liberation”:
- Michigan: Honor Killing, Step-Daughter Murdered for not following Islam (video)
- Arizona: Muslim immigrant gets 34 years for running over daughter in ‘honor killing’
- NY Muslim who beheaded wife gets 25 to life
- Female Pakistani minister shot dead for ‘breaking Islamic dress code’
- India: Two Muslim mothers (honor) kill daughters for marrying Hindu’s

The best place to wear the MUSLIM NIGHT GOWN is in the MUSLIM COUNTRIES, not here in OUR CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. EVEN MALE JIHADIST HIDE IN THIS GARB. LOCK and LOAD.
Take those savage rags off our kids.
Why would any sane person want to go back into 7th century madness.
This is nuts.
Liberation? Yeah sure. Liberation from being beaten up by some man who compels you to wear that shroud-like garb. This is the US. I agree with Omega 2–go wear those hideous rags in an
Arab desert, riding a camel.
Outrageous. It would be a service to this country if students had the Koran read to them in English, especially the parts about beheading, beating, cutting off hands, mutilating girls—then they will know all about Muslim liberation.
No surprise, here–this is the state where Fetulla Gulen lives. Why the U.S. allowed him to move there, rather than allowing the Turkish authorities to toss him in jail, is a mystery. Gulen has succeeded in destroying Kemalism in Turkey, and is now turning his sights on secular society in the U.S.
Who cares why she chose to wear it. It does hide bad hair, Saves money at hair salons.
I think this diversity awareness exchange on the Day of Acceptance should have been RECIPROCAL !!
After Miss Islam gave her spiel and demonstration about WHY she chooses to wear hijab, Miss America should have demonstrated why SHE chooses to wear a bikini , or shorts and T shirt!!
A Bit one sided, and all about islam, the religion of intolerance and NON Acceptance!
the school principal is another useful idiot for islam..
“To me it represents modesty,” she said, hours after she explained her garb to students participating in a school diversity program. “It represents freedom from these stares I get from people only looking at my body. Someone talks to me. . . . They’re getting to know my heart instead of just my body.”
your outer beauty is for you and your husband.”
Also doesn’t miss islam know that to her husband she is just a walking talking awrat, ( vagina)and a tilth to be plowed whenever he demands his right to do so, even if the dinner is burning she must immediately leave it to satisfy the muslim pigs sexual appetite…so said the greatest muslim pig of all, muhammad,the rapist and child molester!!
aaahhh, muslims are the BEST of people, not like those filthy jews and kuffar…
Did they have a JEWISH lady speaking about the jewish culture? i just bet not!!
Anne from Australia…I love your commentary. The filthy pig muslims put all the blame for their rape on these poor women. If the liberals allow Sharia law into this country, they deserve to be forced to wear burkas…in 100 degree humid weather!!! When the islamic bastards start raping little girls and calling it marriage is when this country will have a civil war. If they can’t live by our rules, then they need to go back and live amongst the camels.
Oh ,Ta, burkasrugly,, this pakistani Miss Islam gets me riled up, as SHE would absolutely KNOW that the minority Christians in Pakistan get acid thrown in their faces for not wearing hijab, or for declining the sexual advances of muslim morons..THEY do NOT have a choice and diversity in islam is an oxymoron..they are all cookie cutter muslims, ( or should i say box cutter) cloned after Mo in the madrassas, as mindless bigots, and assassins of islam…
strange how muslim women( many of them) love the bondage and narrow mindedness of islam…
You may feel it represents Freedom – until you’re Forced to wear it by any Man in your life, under penalty of beatings, or death.
In a system that allows that — if you are Raped, you must provide 4 male witnesses to back your story, or be Beaten or imprisoned for lying against a man.
And in the event you DO convince them of the truth – that you Were Raped, you will be Whipped for having sexual relations with a man you aren’t married to.
Anyone claiming Sharia or Islam are somehow Liberating for women is either so clueless their ability to Speak is astounding, or is simply Lying as they are Told (by a man)
This stupid girl is merely parroting propaganda that her elders have taught her: “It represents freedom from these stares I get from people only looking at my body.” It’s only in MUSLIM countries that men would slobber over her because her hair is exposed. Hence, her silly, antisocial garb is unnecessary in the CIVILIZED world – in fact, it’s rather insulting to suggest that all we filthy kaffirs are interested in is her body. But that IS the way Muslim males portray the rest of the world to their women, so they CAN OPPRESS THEM. Anyone who claims the hijab is “liberating” is an ignoramus, period.
So long as there is diversity of other groups, such as Muslims exploring Judaism and Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, then it’s fair. But that is not what is happening here. It’s a very one-sided “diversity” event.
I have a radical idea … Why don’t they teach them reading, English, math, history, science and physical education with some critical thinking, computer skills and job skills thrown in? Once all of that is firmly in place and they’re out of college, then if they want to learn about hijabs and other superstitious desert garbage, it’s up to them.
[...] OU WILL BE SLAVES! Penn: Using the hijab to promote Islam to middle school kids …. [...]
I’d be FURIOUS if my kids were being taught this clap-trap in a public school (in which I pay taxes).
And typical CBC (and all other MSM not having the balls to call what happened to Aqsa an Islamic honour killing).
[...] OU WILL BE SLAVES! Penn: Using the hijab to promote Islam to middle school kids …. [...]
Hey! I thought religon was no longer to be taught in public schools!! Christianity and Bibles were banned! Now, WHAT?! …invite Sharia Law??!! Please explain the inconsistancy!!
Strange, the Muslims I know have one wife, pay taxes, love their kids and all the other things Christians do. Some of the women choose to wear a hijab, some do not wear it. The multiple wife issue is not a Muslim issue, it is only African countries that allow this. It evolved as a means to protect families. A man died and his brother then took the widow as a second wife and supported her and the children. There were no social services hundreds of years ago in Africa so they solved the problem in another way.
its written in the QURAN so multiple wives IS amuslim issue, and muslims follow the role model of mohammad who had multiple wives and encouraged the ummah to do likewise.
I think you need to get with the program, even in our western countries muslims have multiple wives, they just don’t tell Social Services about it!
Here in Australia its common pecatice, we saw one case exposed on TV where the guy had three wives, and a new fourth one ( an Australian) who was pregnant awaiting the birth.
That guy spends his day between the wives,dipping his wick at each of the wives individual homes, homes provided by our government, each has an average of 3 kids, each wife gets a supporting parents benefit,and the muslim cheat lives on easy street..FIVE incomes all paid for by US chumps…and the wives are all unemployable wearing full burqa…These people are parasites! and there are more just like this one.And by the way the muslim is white, turkish or whatever..sorry but .POOF!! there goes your theory.
