ok pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee dont move to some other folder mods…get more replies and opinions here pleasee

ok well the other day me and my aunts and cusins having a chat, and the conversation came to scarfs/hijabs etc. none of us wear one. my cousin and aunty were saying silly uneducated things like `oh we wont wear one because weve seen other people wearing them, and they make muslims look bad, i saw this girl in hijab kissing/touching/holding hands/with boys/swearing etc
so THIS IS THE REASON i wont wear one.

NOW for me this is such a stupid statement…if others are wearing it and doing bad stuff, so what? isnt this an excuse for us women on why we wont cover our heards for allah…Now i dont wear it either, however i dont wish to use such petty reasons as to why i dont.

does anyone else use this/think this/know someone that does.

and whats a good answer to these silly statements…

same qiestion for beards…`such and such guy has a beard and he SMOKES/DRUGS/has a gf/is a pervert…whatever.

how can we diffrentiate peoples actions and their appearances and make more people educate themselves in the sense that they dont relate. yes, its bad, but why should that stop you.

my reply was well, non-muslims and muslims wathcing the news, will see that hey all these terrorists seem to be muslim, did that stop non-muslims from converting to islam, or did that make you want to convert to another relgion? if we can ignore the media with its anti-islamic hype, surely one or two people wearing a hijab and having a bf shouldnt deter you either from following whats right…??

This is such a good post!
