“My goal is support American Muslim women who may be facing fear and discourtesy, discrimination and support of religious freedom of expression,” Allen said. “I’m not usually a big statement-maker but I was moved in a negative way by the xenophobic comments that are coming down the pike.”
Although she is a Christian and an active member of Saint Peters Episcopal Church, Allen is wearing a hijab to bring awareness and show support for Muslim women. Allen told Channel 7 she felt led to make the strong statement.
