For the sixth year, Hamtramck High School in Michigan will hold a “Muslim Girls Only” prom. Hamtramck is thirteen miles North of Detroit on I75 and is the first (and soon to be not the only) Muslim majority town in the United States. The Princess Project Prom is described in Heat Street by Ian Miles Cheong:

Hamtramck High School’s girls-only “Princess Prom” was first organized in 2012 by a group of five Muslim girls to give them the opportunity to go to a “safe space” prom. In 2016, 230 girls showed up. This year, they’re expecting at least 250 attendees.

According to Michigan Live, the event is “intended to create a safe space for Muslim girls who normally cover up in hijab to let their hair down in an environment with no boys and no cellphones.” In normal circumstances, Muslim girls and women from ultraconservative backgrounds are not allowed to expose their hair in public, among many other strict religious prohibitions for women. With a cellphone ban in place, no one will be able to share photos of them with their hair displayed to social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

That’s so cute. Who knew in the United States of America after the 60’s marches and hoses and police with dogs we would have a Sharia Compliant Prom. Sweet.

Do you see what they are selling for the “Princess Project Prom” fundraiser? Tacos. The Sharia Compliant prom is being partially funded by Cultural Appropriation. Tacos are not Middle Eastern….just saying. I actually worked out with some Bangladeshi women who wore the hijab and loose clothing to work out. For “Share Your Culture” day they made a Tandoori chicken and rice and a dessert called Vahrehvah (flan) that would make you slap your mama. My American cheese on a saltine was not a big hit.
