[quote=Anonymous]I would fight to defend the right of a woman to wear hijab.  (Niqab in public, no, but only because it is a security risk.)

But in my personal interactions with a hijab wearer, yes, I will be on guard against certain things.  Does she have a chip on her shoulder about Islam that will be tiresome and boring to deal with?  Definitely have had to deal with those--ugh.  Is she someone who is charitable to all or just to Muslims? Happy to report that the most sympathetic retail service I have ever received was from a hijab wearer (I was sick).  It was the only time I went to a store after and sought out the manager to commend (or complain about) an employee.

Is she incapable of critical thinking and just does what she has been told to do by family or peer pressure?  Have definitely met my share of vacuous scarf wearers who can barely manage a limp handshake. But a few have been bright and witty and vivacious.  Does she harbor extreme Islamist supremacist views like Tafsheen?  Guessing and hoping I actually have not mingled with any of these, but of course I probably would not know.  [/quote]
