Hareem, thats not what I was trying to imply...you should feel free and welcome to practice Hijaab. But you should also be aware, as I'm sure you are, that it makes you stand out in a crowd in USA...its unusual yeah? So you are that much more subject to scrutiny, not by security screeners per se but by fellow passengers who have been subjected to the "brainwashing" of the news media. So when they see a serene, peaceful and peace-loving type of Hijabi you have done a wonderful thing for the education of the "brainwashed public" yeah? But when they see a hijaabi who is asking for the "safest seat" then all of those overblown and threatening news reports plays into their fear and you end up with the situation that this family endured.
I'm not saying that its right or that its fair... It is what it IS...but for my part, even though I am not yet Muslim, I HAVE read and understood much so far and do everything I can to pass on the serene peace and goodwill of the religion to others.
Yes I can now clearly see your point and I'm in agreement with it. It's been 4 years since I'm wearing hijab and nothing disturbing happened to me, Alhamdulilah.
I didn't know or rather couldn't tell that you are not muslim but inshaAllah you're not far from Islam.
