Jessey Eagan is a Christian and a mother of two, who works as a children's director at Imago Dei Church in Peoria, Illinois. This year during Lent, she decided to wear a hijab. She kept a diary of her experience in a blog called #40DaysOfHijab, which is sparkling a debate both in the Christian and Muslim community.

The difference is in the numbers. You’re probably going to find those kinds of people ANYWHERE ... however ... the numbers are greater in the Coastlands and big cities, than generally in the Heartland.

Did she slit any Christian throats, sell any non-Muslim women into sexual slavery or enslave any Christian children to get a real feel for the essence of being Muslim?

Hijabs are offensive.

Wearing hijabs is ignorant and insensitive.

She just wanted to appear politically correct. Next, she can sleep with a woman to see how lesbians live.

I feel the same way about hoodies, especially when some loser is wearing it up in 80+ degree weather, what the frack are they hiding from?

This woman is about bringing attention to herself — not Christianity.

She needs to put on her little costume and go into a mosque and tell them what she thinks of muslims beheading Christains, muslim violence around the world, and Muhammad marrying a six year old girl.

She’s just an attention seeking woman. She was more critical of Christians than she was muslims. She’s part of the problem.

*shakes head* Islam is a scourge. I just don’t get why liberal women don’t speak out against it. I guess bakeries in Indiana are more important..

When Christians can worship at mecca then I’ll admire these coexist types.

This idiot woman needs to wear a cross around her neck in Iran or Iraq, etc. and see how far it gets her.

And I suspect she'll enjoy getting beaten for being disobedient, or for just being a woman...

What this crazy lady doesn't realize is that she'll be treated far worse from muzlims that she will from non muzlims...What a fruitcake...

Agree, the hijab is an “FU,” a middle finger to western civilization in general and America in particular.

We must confront the virus of islam. Free government and islam cannot coexist.

She’s probably of the Presbyterian U.S.A. Church, Episcopalian, or some other lib denomination, indulging in one of their touchy-feeling interactions with Islam. The PCUSA church that I used to go to would take the youth of the church to Ramadam services and such poppycock as that....instead of having classes on the Jewish roots of the christian church. Valuable time wasted that could have been used to teach these often biblically ignorant young church members about the books of Revelation, Daniel, Ecclesiastes, Psalms or Isaiah....but perish that thought....the incurable PC disease of these lib churches wouldn’t allow that.
