scarf my identity and its propaganda risks

Society Religion & Philosophy

hoover did it again - hoovered over the whole concept of adorning hijab/ taking a scarf as if it is only forced on Muslim females.

people forget to see that hijab is also taken by women who like to wear it and live in it perfectly comfortably out of their own accord.

perhaps the mis-correlated ideas of forced hijab and also discrepant actions of hijab wearing women together forms a wrong perception that hijab does not mean anything beyond simply taking on a piece of cloth over one’s head.

what kind of characters some of the hijab-clad women portray, further allows such wrong assumptions to be thought of to be true for all hijab wearing Muslim girls and women.

I thought about wearing a scarf because I busted my chin and thought it would work well to hide it. ;)

I dont see what is the big deal about covering your head and why people point fingure towards this practice of muslim women.

Amish women do that, you go to italian villages and ladies do that over there, eastern euoropean women cover their head with a scarf

But as Iqbal rightly said
Burq girti hai to bechaaray musalmano(n) per

thanks tariqkhan for your comment.
you're right.

head covering is not limited to Muslim women only.

Mary's image is always depicted with a veil over her head.
and varied views by some Muslim women who adorn hijab and present themselves as role models in character and dealings as well, are really positive.
any women views as well?

Absolutely. Add nuns to the list.
