[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is a seven-year old wearing a hijab?[/quote] Why is a seven year old wearing a yarmulke and payos? Could it be - gasp - that different religious traditions have customs, rituals, attire for their adherents, even for children?[/quote] Yes, the religious custom is that hijab is not worn until the girl starts menstruating. She’s seven. The teacher shouldn’t have touched the kid (although I wasn’t clear on whether there was a hoodie on as well), but the mother’s reaction and the fact that these yahoos are “practicing” pick-and-choose, ill-informed Islam made me lose any sympathy I had.
