Only on the flyers we see a Muslim female with an American flag scarf.
Has anyone see any Muslim female wearing the american flag as a scarf and even if there is one, why isn't the majority not protesting and wearing the Americaan flag scarf?
I guess reality is different from what they want to portrait.

Those millions of Muslims in America...just hate it here and can't wait to destroy it.
This is ones guy view........he shames capitalism, while without saying, okaying oppressed women in Islamic countries. If they're so proud of the hijab and their culture, why are so many trying to get to America?
1. Know that a hijab-wearing Muslim woman did not make this image. Actually, a woman didn't make this image at all. It was created by a white man: Shepard Fairey, artist & founder of the clothing brand OBEY, created this image from a photograph taken by Muslim-American photographer Ridwan Adhami. Were we unable to uplift the work of Muslim women instead? Are our images only able to be consumed when they are white-washed and sanitized?
Update/edit (1/24/17): I also learned that the woman originally photographed by Ridwan 10 years ago actually does not wear the hijab herself and rather just donned it for the purpose of creating this image, which is even more problematic.
2. Know that the hijab--for *me* at least--represents a rejection of materialism, of capitalism, of euro-centric beauty standards (among other significance) and draping an American flag over it erases almost everything the hijab means to me.
3. Know the American flag represents oppression, torture, sexual violence, slavery, patriarchy, and military & cultural hegemony for people of color around the world whose homes and families have been destroyed and drone-striked by the very person/former president whose campaign images this one seeks to replicate.

I've seen a few Muslim women wear it. I've seen Muslim women not wear it. I've seen Muslim women not wear the hijab at all.
What business is it of yours what they decide to wear or not to wear? Freedom of expression 101.

Awesome! "They" and googling the opinion you're searching for to extrapolate amongst all 1.6 Billion Muslims.
Strawmen, fear mongering and extreme xenophobia. The City-Data and Stormfront way!
The left is barking but not one person comes back with a reasonable argument
