[quote=Anonymous]I don't care whether someone wears a hijab or not as long as they are not stating that it is a requirement within Islam. If they're wearing it because they feel like it's another fashion accessory- great.  I love accessories.

The OP stating that it is for her faith and that she didn't think there would be any changes towards her is curious.  The changes are within her if it's for her faith, not based on a piece of cloth.  Of course some people might treat her differently, it's certainly not right, but it's hardly believable that she didn't think it would happen.

I don't look twice at women who wears the hijab.  I try really hard not to look twice when its a niqab, but it's certainly a distraction.  If I was wearing a hot pink leotard and walking around down the street, I'd expect some looks too.  Anything completely out of the ordinary will get that.

The question "are you scared of Muslims?" is a strange one.  Do you see people running from you in fear when you walk around with a hijab?  Are people you work with quitting their jobs because they are afraid?  Does your mailman skip over your house because he's scared to go near your mailbox?

What examples can you give that give you the impression that most people are scared of you?   Do you equate people having opinions on the wearing of hijab and it's political history means they are scared of you?
