Stuff Hijabsters Like #7: Rumi
//Hijabsters like him because he is very old and nobody else understands the complexity and art of his poem.
//Example of Rumi’s poetry:
I want to feel myself in you when                    you taste food, in the arc of your mallet when you work, when you visit friends, when you go up on the roof by yourself at night.

Stuff Hijabsters Like #3: “Orientalism”

//Hijabsters like to use the word “orientalism” or describe someone as “orientalist” when they don’t like a Western idea & want to sound smart.

//Example:

  • “I don’t think anybody would agree with Dr Kirk’s banal post-occupation view on this issue. His take on components of Islam is orientalism at best.”
  • “How can you ever accept this pompous deconstructive explanation by an orientalist?”
