As Women in Iran Face Prison for Taking Off the Hijab, Fox TV Series Glamorizes It
My latest in PJ Media:
Rob Lowe’s 9-1-1: Lone Star is apparently a TV show that, according to the description here, “follows a sophisticated New York firefigter [sic] who, along with his son, relocates to Austin and must try to balance the duties of saving those who are at their most vulnerable and solving the problems in his own life.” It features a character named Marjan Marwani, who is apparently a hijab-wearing Muslim firefighter.
In this video clip, Marjan loses her hijab, and her respectful male colleagues shield her from the lustful gaze of one of their loutish colleagues, and maybe more than one, so that she can put it back on.
One should always be respectful and kind to others, both those who wear the hijab and those who do not. That is not, however, the only lesson that 9-1-1: Lone Star wishes to impart. Another is that Muslims in the U.S., even those who are Sharia-adherent, are patriotic Americans. And that women who wear the hijab are smoking hot.

Those propositions are all true in some cases. In other cases, they are not. Television has never been and could never be a fully accurate presentation of reality. It is important to note, however, that this series is proceeding from the assumption that women who wear hijabs in the U.S. are routinely subjected to discrimination and harassment, and that Americans consequently need this reminder that decent folk treat hijabis with respect. Hijabis should indeed be treated with respect, like everyone else, but it is false that they are routinely disrespected in this country.
In fact, many of the most celebrated of the cases claiming this turned out to have been faked by the victims themselves. In one such incident, an eleven-year-old girl in Toronto made international headlines with her claim that a man had followed her and cut her hijab with scissors. After an investigation, police concluded that the attack never happened. Likewise, Yasmin Seweid, a Muslim teen who claimed in December 2016 that Trump supporters on a New York subway tore off her hijab and no one in the packed subway car helped her. She, too, gained international media attention, and she, too, made up the whole thing. Shortly before that, a hijab-wearing Muslim student at San Diego State University also falsely claimed that she was assaulted by Trump supporters. In July 2017, a Muslim in Britain falsely claimed that a man had pulled off her hijab in a “race hate attack.” In November 2016, a University of Michigan Muslim student claimed she was “accosted by a white man who told her to remove her hijab or he would set her ablaze with a cigarette lighter.” She also fabricated the whole event. And there are many others of this kind.
There is much more. Read the rest here.
