Thank you very much Madam Chair.
I have to start by saying I'm disturbed when, inadvertently or purposely, this committee ends up engaging in othering the Muslim community. I think we are seeing examples of that this morning, and I apologize to our witnesses. I thank them for being here today to give very important testimony.
I want to go back to Dr. Hasan.
I think you were just starting to talk about your work on the impact on Muslim women.
We live in a society that has quite often historically tried to police the dress of women and tried to blame women for things that happen to them because of dress choices they make. While I'm not trying to reduce the salience of what's happening with Muslim women now, I do think it's important to remember there's a long tradition of policing women and their dress in this country.
What do you see as different about this now from that traditional concern about the way women look and dress?
