World Hijab Day encourages women to try covering up
CNN ^ | 2/2/16 | Emanuella Grinberg

Posted on 02/01/2016 7:03:26 AM PST by nycteacher

Khan started World Hijab Day to build empathy for this perspective and to encourage non-Muslims, and Muslims who don't normally wear a hijab, to try it out. The Arabic word hijab refers not just to a headscarf but to modest dress and behavior in general.

As we have learned, not all who wear hijabs are females and some wearers of hijabs conceal deadly weaponry.

All Progressive women should wear the hajib just to see what their politics will lead to one day. Of course, since they have no choice in izlum, the day each one wears the hajib should be determined by some man in their life based on his decision.

Modesty isn’t covering your hair up which according to The Bible is a woman’s glory. For a women to be beautiful isn’t a shame. It is a shame when a woman is immodest and exploits sexuality in inappropriate ways. A woman being beautiful shouldn’t cause a decent man “problems” unless she is being immodest.

It’s all about male domination and nothing more. When you can take an 8 year old for a wife, I’d say that “costume” means little. When you can stone a woman but not the man for adultery....the “costume” means little.

It occurred to me the other day that maybe there are some women undergoing chemotherapy who would prefer wearing a hijab and being taken for Muslim rather than wearing a wig or going around bald.

Dress however you want. People will profile you whether you like it or not. It’s not as though symbols of islam aren’t related a considerable amount of the world’s trouble today.

People see me as a dime store cowboy and I try not to be butt hurt over it.

Our local Rite Aid has a sign at the entrance that shows a dude in a hoodie and says, in effect, don’t cover yourself up. Maybe they should have another picture depicting a woman with a burka as a 2nd example.

Here at Diversity University we sometimes get an investigative journalist to cover up and report on the islambophobic abuse they receive.

...World Hijab Day....

What a vile concept!!!!

We Orthodox Christians—men and women—typically wear a Cross and a prayer rope! Just enough to remind us of God, and not anywhere near enough to scare anyone!!!!

How long will it be before the fashionistas of the NY runway set decide to showcase Islamic influenced styles into our culture.

In a race to be the trendsetter, the one with something new and cutting edge, designers and artistic types always gravitate to cheap shock value anti Establishment themes.

I want to be the first to predict, NY fashion designers will attempt to promote and popularize Islamic womens attire.

How about this for an idea...see through burkas!
