In Another's Shoes

As the old saying goes, don't judge a man 'til you walk a mile in his shoes. In that vein, neither should one judge a Muslim woman 'til you walk a mile in her hijab – the modest, traditional covering worn as a symbol of Islamic consciousness. Behind the Veil, an eye-opening social experiment co-sponsored by the NC State Women's Center and the Muslim Students Association, recently afforded non-Muslim women the opportunity to wear the covering and see what daily life is like for Sara Yasin, left, and other Muslims on campus.
