If I had the opportunity to research and write one story for the New York Times it would be the absurd scenery of Muslim immigrants sitting inside a bus with a full set black gown from head to toe. Sometimes it’s unbearable to watch because they are sequently dressed in various ways. For example, some of them are dressed with an all black gown all over their body. The dresses either don’t have any vision for them to see, their face is completely covered for no one to see at all. The gown may sometimes be too long that it drags on the ground. Also the gown is formed in a way that doesn’t allow them to show their skin complexion; therefore it doesn’t have any sleeves. So this placed an overwhelming feeling toward me and everybody else for the simple reason that we are not used to seeing things like that. Then our ignorance comes and overrides our judgement by assuming they are peculiar.
This idea has been on my mind for a very long time and I would be more than gladly to interview a Muslim of that sort to be able to be behind the scenes toward their way of living as well as getting to why they dress the way they do. To be honest it can qualm people to the point that they can get too roused by their presence.
