Summary:
"Taking the debate beyond the simplistic approach, young men and women talk candidly about the 'hijab'--the veil worn by Middle Eastern women and its social implications. Most of the youths regard the head scarf not primarily a religious obligation, but as a social construction that symbolizes a girl's respectability or sexual innocence. When talking amongst themselves, however, the young men acknowledge a double standard between the sexes"--Container.
