"You may have seen lovely dark-skinned women wearing hijabs. That is not what I looked like. I have pale skin, freckles, and blue-gray eyes. Picture Alfalfa (of Spanky’s Gang) dressed like a nun. Perhaps that is why the young U.S. soldiers threw me hostile glances – I had offended the fashion gods. I fancied at the time that they resented my donning what they perceived as the uniform of our Muslim “enemies.” But the worst part of the hijab is that it puts two layers of fabric over each ear. That, combined with the loud air conditioner units in the interview room, made it very difficult for me to hear."
