(10 minutes): You will notice that many Muslim women who write about hijab are responding to Islamophobia. To better understand their music and lyrics then, we need to take a moment to consider the Islamophobia they are up against. We are bombarded with Islamophobic content everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. I want you to take a moment and think about all the stereotypes you’ve heard about Muslim women and the hijab-- the practice of covering oneself modestly. These are not your beliefs. They are the things that society imposes on consumers on a daily basis. These can be from comments you’ve heard from friends, family, that you’ve read in books, or seen at bus-stops, seen in films, etc. Make a list of all the stereotypes you have noticed associated with the hijab.

If you have time left over in your 102 minutes, watch this video and think about it as well (no need to take notes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV5lqaB3R4Q [Listen to it with captions on so you can follow the lyrics]
