Which of the following statements about panethnicity is true?
 
  a. A majority of the Latinos in the U.S. tend to take on the label of being White or being Black.
  b. Younger immigrants tend to be more panethnic than their parents.
  c. The Cuban saying No soy Hispano, soy Cubano refers to a rejection of panethnicity.
  d. A majority of U.S.-born Latinos are viewed as a third collective group in addition to White and Black Americans.

The Prophet Muhammad indicated in his Sunnah that the female body should be covered except for the face, hands, and feet. Hence, traditional Muslim women should wear head coverings. The hijab refers to a variety of garments that allow women to follow the guidelines of modest dress. It may include head coverings or a face veil and can take the form of a rather than something that actually covers the face.

When it comes to the hijab, or outer garments, research has identified three perspectives among Muslim women in the United States and other settlements outside Islamic countries. Younger, better educated women who support wearing the hijab in public draw on Western ideas of individual rights, arguing in favor of veiling as a form of personal expression. In contrast, older, less-educated women who support the wearing of hijab tend to make their arguments without any reference to Western ideology. They cannot see why veiling should be an issue in the first place. A third group of women, of all ages and educational backgrounds, oppose the hijab.
