11/16 Notes Islamic Brotherhood, Women, and Marriage

The documentary we watched for this class was very insightful. I knew it was common for Muslim women to be covered from head to toe and not show any skin, but I liked learning more about the how/why of it all–some Muslim women are comfortable showing more skin that others. It doesn’t mean they’re more risky or less religious than others, it just means they are more comfortable. I think it’s just all in how you view it/how you are raised to view it, specifically. I also liked learning about how women are treated in this culture, which we were able to obviously learn in The Cairo House, but I liked talking about it in class and watching the documentary as well.
