[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to respond to the PP who mentioned in passing that she wondered if women in a hijab were judging women dressed less conservatively.  For some reason I always feel like a hoochie when I see someone in a hijab and i'm wearing shorts.  Should I continue to be embarrassed or do they not mind my outfit?[/quote]

I'm a PP with a muslim family.  And I have a ton of Muslim friends, mostly through my husband. My experience with that has been that American born Muslim women don't think twice about non-Muslim women wearing less.  Foreign born Muslim women do care and comment on it. I was wearing a low cut tank with a summer weight sweater over it one day. Loose. No cleavage but it was low cut. And a couple of women were talking about my "summer attire." Not in a complimentary way.

And in Muslim countries where hijab is not legally required, women often exert a lot of social pressure (both positive and negative) to get other women to wear hijab.

All generalizations, but that has been my experience. [/quote]
