I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GET SO LITTLE FUNDING! - I don't understand how most readers expect you to do everything for nothing. If we don't stand behind you all we get is propaganda. Real journalism is so rare today. We all should be protecting it. I am in my 70s and no longer working, but what you do is crucial if we ever plan on becoming a democracy finally. That's why I give every month. All take and no give back is a recipe for disaster, and we don't want to dis the stars! / Christine, RSN Reader-Supporter

Double Standards in the Headscarf Debate 
Christiane Hoffmann, Der Spiegel 
Hoffman writes: "The female body is a focal point of the battle between tradition and modernity. The liberation from the corset to the fight over trousers, the debates over miniskirts, hot pants, bikinis and headscarves: Women's clothing has repeatedly been regulated, stipulated and proscribe, with men issuing decrees and bans relating to what women wear."
