[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I go out of my way to be nice to women wearing the hijab, but I also view it as rather anti-feminist, the same way I view orthodox women who cover their hair, Mennonite women who wear those little white bonnets, or catholic women who continue to wear veils at mass.  I wouldn't hire any of those women to care for my children, for instance, as I would assume they do not share my values respecting women's rights  I would hire them for a job where those particular values don't matter, however.[/quote]

Seriously? You are quite judgemental. Don't you think so? You are assuming that every woman of faith is anti-feminist? What is feminism to you? Please help me understand it. Because last I checked, I thought it had nothing to do with the way women dress up.

OP here, and I must say I'm quite disgusted by some comments.

the intent of this post was not about arguing whether hijab is mentioned in Quran or not... And for those thinking of Hijabis as oppressed women, I beg you to get to know a Muslim on a personal level and find out for yourself.

I was born into a Muslim family, quite liberal honestly ...I started wearing the scarf because of personal and religious beliefs...I'm sorry to disappoint you but neither my father nor my DH had anything to do With my decision. In fact, I would have felt oppressed if DH were to be against my decision.

Someone asked how I feel when I see women not covered and wearing revealing clothes: my answer is I don't think about it. I grew up not wearing a scarf...and I still have family members not wearing it...so it doesn't matter to me...just because I'm fully covered, I don't except everybody to be the same.
