[quote=Anonymous][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]

Just left Safeway in Herndon after another great friday night live.  Beautiful night.  Many families out in herndon, lots of people, wearing summer clothes.  Everyone having fun and dressed in shorts and light clothes.

And then in Safeway, a couple walked in, the man in t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, dressed casually.  The woman covered in head to toe with a black sheet.  She had a 1 inch slit for her eyes.  Walking behind the man, following him into Safeway about 10:00 at night, shuffling behind him.

So my immediate reaction was to race over and unchain this poor soul that is forced to cover head to toe in the heat, while her husband wears what ever he wants.  Anyone that does this must be brainwashed or forced.  No one in their right mind would cover themself head to toe in a black sheet in summer.  Especially when their partner is dressed in normal clothes.  It makes no sense.  No god would would tell all women to bundle themselves and then let all the men dress however they want.   I sure hope my daughter NEVER marries into a religion like that.

Those were my thoughts.[/quote]

10pm here is probably like the dead of winter in saudi arabia.

maybe she feels naked without being covered after doing it so long. who knows. [/quote]
