The Hijab Challenge encourages women to spend some time wearing the traditional headscarf of Muslim women.  We’ll speak with two Florida Gulf Coast University students who recently took up the challenge for several days to learn more about the experience of Islamic culture and to observe the reactions of strangers, friends and even themselves.  Find out what they experienced and what they’ve taken from the challenge.
