No one will openly say anything to you but don't assume subtle discrimination doesn't happen. Muslims have not had it easy since 911.
They may say nothing to you but don't think they appreciate the burqa.
Or abaya.
Hijaab is generally better tolerated and even with that people have problems.
Your choice Aisha. It can work the other way too. Some people assume you are oppressed and go out of their way to help you advance in your career because they appreciate what they conceive as you breaking out of prison of an existence. I know some afghani girls who really used that to their advantage after the Afghanistan war began.
Giving up one's "identity" so that Gora sahabs will treat you better or look more fondly upon you is the last thing one should take into consideration when going to or applying to universities or jobs in the West !
Come on if you've got to give up your identity and your religious beliefs just to get your foot through the door , its not worth the effort !
I for one would NEVER give up my identity just to "fit in" or get ahead in a society .
Could not give a damn what they think ...
You judge me by my merits and qualifications not by the way I dress !***
