ويحك ايها الاعرابي، الم تسمع قول الله تعالى
وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَى وَثُلاثَ وَرُبَاعَ

...back to the topic at hand.

mixed Latina(observant Catholic) co-worker told me this; i still remember the tone of raw shock & disbelief, hurt & pain, that was evident in her voice as she was telling me.

Keep in mind this isn't NYC circa 2001, or London circa 2005, or some backwater hicktown; this one of the most diverse metro-areas of the country with the highest Muslim population nationwide, AND the most educated residents per capita.

She went shopping, and it's raining outside, and having gotten her hair did, she wraps a casual scarf around her head for a makeshift 'hair-did' protection against the roob; Then, a white guy wearing a suit(urbane, clearly upper-middle class), stopped next to her, spat at her feet, and snarled: "you f-king terroriz" and walked off.

She initially froze. It took her a few seconds to make the connection between the casual scarf wrapped around her hair, and the assault. She, who attends Mass every Sunday, was thought to be a Muslim. And then she called me since I was the only Muslim she knew. Her voice was literally cracking and shaking: CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT LEFTIST, HE DID THAT BECAUSE HE THOUGHT I WAS MUSLIM" I was like: "welcome to our world" Great educational moment, as it made her stand in solidarity with muslimeenta.

hijab-hate is real, when you wear a hijab, you are a walking target for people, average every-day people's suspicions, prejudices, ignorance, and hate. Best case scenario is that you're viewed with patronizing "oh, poor thing is oppressed" attitude. I would definitely not wear a hijab if I was a muslimah; there are plenty of ways to dress modestly without wearing the hijab. For all the males here who will chorus: "but but it's obligatory/waajib", my response is: yeah, so is not killing people and not starting wars, yet all that shit has been happening for centuries and it's been accepted and A-OK'd by the culumaa, so the scholars need to go back to the same mental gymnastics that made them consider Mucaawiya and his son to be pious men, and find a way to make the hijab a choice(which it already is, the quranic directive is dress modestly, not wear a heat-absorbing, rickets-contributing black cabaaya-calal-ra'as.) For those of you who still insist that it is super-wajib-obligatory, and that it is a sin to not to wear the hijab(nonsense, something purely optional cannot be a sin), I have one question: Do you wear your pants/trouser 3 inches above your ankles? No? Then according to the same literalist-dogma that has deemed the hijab obligatory, you will burn in hell-fire for having normal-length pants/trousers........so yeah, it ain't fun when you're the one being told you will burning hell, amirite? It's only fun when you're the one threatening others with hell.

Must've been terrifying for her. You're correct hijab doesn't feel protective, many cite this as reason for why we should wear but really it only makes you feel like a walking target. Only Sikh men really know what Muslim hijabi women go through.

If I had the Infinity Gauntlet with all 6 stones, I would order all those who claim the abaya/jilbab/hijab is obligatory to wear a 40 gallon black plastic bags and walk around in 105 degree heat; while they baked in the hot sun with possible heat-stroke, I would have them walk around with a sign saying: "Hi, I'M THE OTHER; I AM DIFFERENT; I AM VISIBILITY IDENTIFIABLE AND A TARGET-PRACTICE FOR BIGOTS"

Within 48 hours, there would be a new "Universally Acknowledged Doctrine": the abaya/jilbab/hijab is purely optional and it is not a sin to remove it.
