[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I a muslim woman who posted early on in this thread.  I have to say the self-righteousness of the hijab defender(s) is really off-putting. I believe in tolerance and free-will, and will always defend the right of any woman to wear one. However, as many in this thread have pointed out, it has become a symbol of a doctrinaire, oppressive, intolerant version of Islam that many of us liberal Muslims abhor.  [/quote]
Your experience is important to share here.[/quote]

I agree.  While I too will defend the right for a woman to wear a hijab, the responses we got as to why a PP wore one were disappointingly superficial.  But perhaps that is because there are few if any deep reasons for wearing a hijab.  [/quote]

I find no compulsion to wear one because it is not in the Qur'an but, will defend a woman's right to wear a veil no matter what religion she is. To me it represents support of a regime and form of government that subjugates woman since it is used as a political tool to do just that in some countries. These counties have changed what the hijab represents, imho. [/quote]
