Many Muslim women say they have been stared at, shouted at
Hijab-wearing women in the United States face abuse especially after the recent terror attacks in the French capital Paris and San Bernardino in California.
Many Muslim women say they have been stared at, shouted at, and even physically abused when they go out wearing a hijab. Ms. Yasmine Taeb, a lobbyist for civic group Friends Committee on National Legislation, who works on issues such as Islamophobian, said that Muslim women are the most visible symbol of Islam and that is why they are most easily targeted. Statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation show there were about 178 anti-Islamic hate crime offences committed in 2014.
