Believe it or not, this is a worrying trend. The other day, my wife, a non arab muslim wanted to help someone to get a teaching job at a school here in Doha was rudely told that the school does not accept teachers who is wearing all black abaya. If the applicant was wearing a niqab, "do not bother". I cannot believe such things happen here, we left Europe & South East Asia due to discrimination that we face, only to be faced with such rubbish. Open up your mind people, we muslims simply want to be different, we have different values, and we take our faith more seriously than others but we are all normal family oriented, peace loving human underneath.
