[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a muslim wearing the scarf, I find it extremely offending and even oppressive for someone to talk about how I should dress up/down. It's my body, my religion, and I am free to practice it. Our first amendment defends freedom of religion, and anyone who does not believe in that amendment is not worthy to be called an American. 
While I don't agree with the veil because it's cultural, I have no business to tell people to not wear it. However, with that being said, women were veils need to show their face at airport security, and DMVs (which I am sure all of them do without a problem).

The PP who mentioned the message she saw on the billboard, and just assumed Muslims are trying to convert everyone to Islam is wrong. You misunderstood the message. I see nuns wearing scarves without a problem. Mary was wearing a scarf, then why is it a problem for a Muslim to wear one? It's a personal choice.

Another point, I'd like to bring to your attention is don't assume all Hijabis(women covered) or Muslims are angels. We are human beings, we have flaws, and we do err. So if you see a hijabi doing something wrong, don't generalize. [/quote]

It's your right to wear whatever you want, and it's our right to have an opinion about it.  No need to be offended.  Part of the discussion here is whether the hijab actually has anything to do with the requirements of Islam in the first place.[/quote]
