Plot Summary: Whether a veil of the soul, the mind or the body; the layers of the veil in history and the many meanings behind it will be revealed. “Women are either judged for wearing the hijab or for not wearing it” the hijab refers to the head covering. In "The Tainted Veil," the challenges surrounding these ideas are exposed in a debate by diverse guests and extraordinary stories.
The news is filled with stories of Islamophobia in the West. The sentiment is equal and opposite from the Middle East. Distrust was generated and continues since the tragedies of 9/11, the Iraq War, the threat of Isis, countless other isolated terrorist incidents in between here and abroad. Growing racism and deleterious factors threaten an uneasy peace. To wear the hijab calls attention to the fact that the wearer is Muslim. It is important to be vigilant. June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a discrimination lawsuit filed by the ACLU on behalf of a 17 year old girl in Oklahoma who was denied employment by Abercrombie and Fitch for her wearing thehijab. The court agreed 8-1. The only dissenting vote was from Clarence Thomas.
