[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christian here, who has a question.

My understanding of the hijab or other forms of scarves or clothing worn by some Muslim women is that they are supposed to be a sign of modesty to help draw attention away from their physical selves.  Earlier today as I was at a red light a woman crossed the street in front of me wearing a hijab, however it was gold and sparkly with what looked from a short distance to be rhinestones or some other type of shiny ornamentation.  I'm curious if anyone of the Muslim faith can explain to me why this would be, or if it conforms to some interpretations of Islam.  I've seen women wear hijabs that are black or white but never something so attention-getting and colorful.

I don't mean this with disrespect but from a place of curiosity as I have no friends or colleagues that I'm close enough to that I'd feel comfortable asking.[/quote]

If you aren't muslim what does it matter to you how they practice/interpret their faith. I know you stated you meant no disrespect but your post is kind of smug.
