Graduating. I know more fully veiled women from the Gulf that are doctors, engineers, fashion designers, politicions, diplomats, and teachers, than I do know of unveiled non-muslim women here in Canada. Think about it.

And, if maybe it's partially due to a determination to prove that they *can*. That their faith doesn't stop them from achieving what they want.
Maryam: Hijab has the ability to produce MORE educated women because women focus on developing their inner selves more than their outer. As you try to put it in an economic point of veiw, maybe in the west niqabis don't pursue education as much (they might pursue Islamic education instead) because what kind of people would empoy them in their niqabs as opposed to in the Gulf? And for you info, I know more highly educated hijabis here in the west than I do non muslim women, for the very reasons Amber touched upon.
