  1. Thanks so much for including my link. And wishing you the sweetest year!

  2. Thanks for the links.

    I didn’t understand why the hijab-wearing Muslim reporter is trying to get jobs in American secular TV stations. Seems that despite living in American society and studying journalism, she’s pretty clueless about what people want to see when they watch the news.

    • And yet if a Jewish woman was refused work for wearing a tichel or snood people would be saying it was anti-semitic.

      Muslim women have exactly the same right to cover their hair as we do.

    • If you mean that they are more interested in a newscaster’s appearance than in how they present the news, then yes, I agree.

  3. I meant to tell you that I very much enjoyed reading the interview! You both did a great job!
