I gave my opinion based on my experiences and what I have seen and heard, their is an office they will investigate and detain and jail you based on anonomous tips, I will try to find their site for you. Their was a social experiment on TV and although some 50/50 stood up for the women in the hijab many did not. But Muslims I know are afraid of speaking out in the manor of official lobbying. Many Arabs I know still believe their phones are being tapped and don't like to talk on the phone. Maybe the state I go to has more of these incidences than you but it does not make it an exaggeration. Because I don't wear a hijab maybe I can see from a perspective you don't. Even I have been fearful of having someone show up to ask me questions based on who I am married to. So my opinions are my experiences in the States not just made up. In fact during the 1st Gulf War my husband and myself went around talking about the MiddleEast trying to teach people more about the Arab world so they would get the correct viewpoint not what the media portrays, the stereotypes. So I also do something to help educate. We all have a different perspective based on where we live and how we dress. Its true some locations are more tolerant than others.
