Subject: RE: ATTACKS ON ARAB-AMERICANS MUST STOP!
Kim, "Hanky-head" is heard in western Canada- I don't know how widespread this word is. It is applied to Moslem women who wear the long dress and head-covering as well as traditional Sikhs (some have abandoned the turban). Long dresses are popular here again so if the head scarf also comes back, there will be litle difference.
