[quote=Anonymous]Forty pages of comments on the hijab: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/520851.page Personally I don't like it because I believe the vast majority of those who do believe it is required by Islam--my view is it is not. So my prejudice on seeing a woman wearing a hijab is that she is doing so because: 1) she believes in a fundamentalist version of Islam that allows for no critical thinking, b) her family has forced her to do, c) she comes from a country where it is required or d) she wears it so her family will not be less suspicious that she is doing something she shouldn't. There are a couple of other fringe reasons, like wearing it as a sign of Muslim pride--that is, more as identifier as belonging to a group from which others are excluded. I could see the hair accessory point of view, but only if sometimes she didn't cover her hair--otherwise we are back to one of the above.[/quote]
