[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started wearing the hijab few years ago, and I was happy and very much satisfied with my decision. I never felt the scarf would hinder anything in my life or make me a subject to discrimination...but lately with all what's going on in the world with ISIS and the heated media against Muslims makes me angry because my religion got hijacked. I have to admit that I'm becoming way more sensitive to my surrounding now...there are times I get dirty looks here and there or sometimes people assume that I'm dumb or less educated...it bothers me.

Those of you wearing the scarf, what are your thoughts? Have you had any bad experience lately?

Those of you who are non Muslims, what are your thoughts when you see a woman wearing the scarf? Are you scared of Muslims?[/quote]

I think nothing of women in headscarves.  They get a smile from me just like any other person would.

What breaks my heart though are the poor women who are forced into or terrified into by some outdated, archaic, dark ages, anri woman world veiw to wealre those horrible, head totoe to finger, heavy, black burkas with their face covered, ESPECIALLY when it is a raging hot day like today and ESPECIALLY when the man they are shuffling behind is wearing weather appropriate clothing.

This is America for goodness sakes, where we fight over glass ceilings and the right for women to be Navy Seals, and where our daughters are more likely to earn a college degree than our sons, and yet we have women in our country who are forced to cover themselves entirely with yards of heavy black fabric, faces included, because the men in their world have decided that it is a gave sin for them to ever feel the sun on their skin or a cool breeze on their faces.

Those are an atrocity and a violation of human rights, especially in a country like the US where we fight so hard for women's rights.[/quote]
