[quote=Anonymous]I lived in Indonesia for two years.  I do notice hijabs though they are more common around DC than in other parts of the US, but it does not bother me. I do associate it with more conservative believers.

I wear fairly modest clothes anyway, but I used to love sleeveless shirts in the summer until I got to Indonesia.  Folks there wear mini skirts and body hugging shirts, but you could not show your upper arms without it being perceived as a sex symbol of some kind.

Right now, my son has a Muslim woman math tutor who wears hijab.  She's American.  People do stare at her in the library.  They stare at us talking like normal people. Right now, it is not easy being a Muslim woman who has chosen to wear hijab in the U.S.

The niqab choice though looks uncomfortable and hot and as others have noted, there is no religious reason for it.

I don't think most Muslim woman mind if you are in shorts.  Don't be embarrassed. Some might judge you; others won't. But if you are invited to someone's house, it would be better to dress more modestly.   [/quote]
