I have been thinking a lot about Muslim woman since Alex showed the ninja video on Thursday. We spoke of the misconceptions towards Muslim woman, but I'm still unsure they are misconceptions. Although we could say this about any culture or society that we haven't actually encountered first hand. All we have to go off of is what we are shown.

 We spoke about how the woman in the ninja video most likely come from a wealthy family but what about the woman who don't... is that where the misconception comes from? Alex was also talking about seeing the woman in their homes in Juicy Couture... once again we are speaking of families that are wealthy.There is a lot to consider when you think about things like this... they are just regular woman like anyone here. There is no reason to believe they are different. Maybe its just the cultural difference that we see negatively but if that is the case who are we to decide what is best for another culture? What do other people think about the image of Muslim woman?
