If a mere scarf causes discomfort, dissension and social nullification, then its obvious that there is a problem with the way Muslims are being treated and a problem with how non-Muslims in America are becoming more discriminatory. If we hold each citizen to democracy’s standard that insist on equality for all and privileges for none; of we hold each citizen ot democracy’s standard that each American, regardless of background, has equal standing in the public forum -then we must agree beyond words, that this nation is an inclusive nation rather than an exclusive group of human being where everyone’s voice counts, along with the way they manifest their convictions. Central to making this social transactions is truth, we must acknowledge that everything is not fine here and many people are experiencing the most cruel kind of punishment form a crime he did not, himself commit. This basic understanding assures that all parties in the conversation recognize that there are systematic social inequities operating in our society, and that the playing field is not level. We may have different ideas about how to repair unfairness , but an acknowledgment of the such incivilities is essential to a productive solution.
