Hossain, who had worn hijab before 9/11, reports similar experiences. Once, in elementary school, she says a white teacher called her hijab a “stupid thing” on her head. Years later, a Latino boy called her a “terrorist” and ripped off her hijab in class. The harassment also extended beyond school walls: Hossain remembers when an elderly Black couple on a train said, “We don’t praise no Allah, we praise Jah! We don’t pray to terrorism.” Those experiences, Hossain says, put her “in a position to fight, defending Islam, and in a position of otherness. It made me tense. It made me angry.” pièce de vélo usagé 6 Things to Do If You’re Feeling Overwhelmed by All the Tragedy in the News pièce de vélo usagé the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida pièce de vélo usagé At issue?
