[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not religious but I come from a Muslim family. To me the hijab is nothing more than a hair accessory. Like a hat, extensions, a headband - it's an aesthetic that someone chooses to wear because they like it, and it means nothing more.

It does not mean they are a pious Muslim, and it does not mean they are scary or stupid. It's just a head/hair accessory, and I harbor no judgment against someone wear it.

Niqab or face covering? That's another story altogether. That shit needs to be banned. [/quote]
I never realized this.  I thought it was strictly religous.  Some of the hijabs are very pretty, and I'd certainly like not to do my hair.  Can I wear one (not muslim) as a pretty accessory without offense?[/quote]

You will probably get looks, questions, and assumptions. But having known people who wear hijab and have done some pretty unethical things (having sex with someone not their spouse, drink alcohol, etc) not to mention the hijabis who wear gobs of makeup or very tight clothing. Which is fine, but not at all indicative of religiosity. And hence much more like a fashion accessory.

So I hold no judgement or opinion (negative or positive) about a woman wearing hijab any more than I do about a woman wearing sneakers.[/quote]
