Same feeling here, Ella, while we make great efforts to integrate their culture

Exactly, Ella. That's exactly my feeling.

However, in our countries, it has been noticed recently an evident upsurge in promoting their culture, for instance through the normalisation of the hijab. Now that this topic was raised in the forum it worth to bring up this. But I've noticed that very popular Western clothing brands are promoting the hijab in their catalogues. Yes! While we Westerners do our best to integrate Muslims, normalise their garments and educate people to embrace their culture/religion, they come to forums like this one to speak up about what they think about us and our countries... Isn't it sad? I wish in their countries they would promote our clothing to be worn outside their house walls as well as not covering their hair! Once again one-sided love. Just some food for thought.

Regards to you, Elle. Thanks for your comment.
