What do you think when you see a Hijabi?

[Miyade]

What do you think when you see a Hijabi? (a muslim girl wearing a hijab) I didn't know where to post this, I'm not only looking for what guys would say i just want to know what people think abofut it when they see it because i feel like everyone is getting it wrong?

[chris1984]

that they are probably muslim?

to me its no different than a cross or a red band. its just religious stuff. doesn't really meam anything to me beyond that.

now if you had asked burqa i would say i feel suspicious, defensive and uncomfortable. in a hijab you can easily see a persons face. in a burqa you see basically nothing. i don't trust people who hide their face.

[Miyade]

Yes i know, even in a muslim country we have fears of people wearing burqa because you have no idea who that is. I mean, it's illegal to wear a mask but then a burqa? But on the other hand i got to know people who wear it and they are super nice but it's still fearful to approach someone you can't see. Just like adding someone on social media when they have no picture haha you have to take a guess on who it could be

[chris1984]

thats the thing. i'm all for religious expression provided it doesn't harm anyone. but the burqa is effectively a disguise, regardless of the intention. its not even a guarantee of a muslim person under there, it could be a white nazi with a few guns out for some "fun".

[skel47]

I think they are fine but i woildnt approach a girl to ask for her number if she had a hijabi. I don't know why but i feel like it pulls me into their beliefs if something were to happen between us and im not intrested in that situation. But I have nothing against them and often they look good on girls :)

[Miyade]

Yes i understand because after all if you fall in love with a hijabi and want to spend the rest of your life with.. It becomes complicated so if you have no intention of discovering what islam is, just approach them as a friend nd nothing more. But as a friend there's no problem, really don't be scared to talk to them

[skel47]

I wouldn't walk up to a girl on the street in a hijab just to ask if we could be friends is what im saying but i have no negative mentality towards islam like most of the people that replied. If we met through some sort of class or whatever i might consider to be friends with them. But yeah thats just how things are right now.

[Miyade]

Yes I understood aha

[KDria]

A woman’s hair has always been a symbol of beauty so when I see a hijabi, I see a woman who’s dedicated to something bigger than that, her faith. I also see someone who wants their personality seen before their looks. I have respect for that, however, sometimes I see women who wears extremely provocative clothing AND the hijab and to me, that makes no sense.

[Miyade]

Yes i see, i also am curious about people who wear more than the hijab because it was never mentioned in Islam.. But yes it's exactly what you said. I want to show my bzauty my hair and all that but my faith is more important and i prefer being appreciated for who i am before how i look

[Miyade]

But we still look okay, right?

[KDria]

Yes, modest & beautiful💖

[inlovewiththesun]

I don´t want to offend anyone, I´m just honestly saying how I feel about that and I feel like if my mom wasn´t islamophobic, it´d be different. But when I see a hijab, I usually think about them having strickt values and parents, believing in Allah (as an atheist I´m against every god) and yea my attitude to that is not the best...

[Miyade]

It's not wrong to think like that when you were raised on that. Just try to get your own opinion by getting to know muslim people. Trust me it will change

[inlovewiththesun]

I know a muslim girl in my grade with a hijab and I really like her, she´s really cute. Tho do the aspects fit to her life. I don´t hate muslims or anyone, anyone from anywhere can be a good or bad person. I just think that those aspects with religion and parenting etc can be guessed through them wearing a hijab if you know what I mean. That´s like wearing a police uniform tells people, the officers are against all illegal and try to solve crimes. I don´t know if that´s a good analogy but yeah :D

[fauchelevent]

I don't really think anything? A lot of my coworkers wear hijabs so I may just be used to it but I don't think it's ever really bothered me. It's not as if it affects me at all, y'know? :P But hey, looks kinda pretty, has deeply religious and personal meaning so I guess I'm all for it.

[witherwing]

That they must be from abroad.

[Miyade]

Haha, probably

[Bigdaddyslim01]

If you wear it for a religious reason, then you can't dress provocatively, and that's what most Muslim girls do, they ignore everything else but no my hijab is my pride, laughing my ass off, but you know just like all Muslims, they are kidding themselves

[Miyade]

Why do you just assume they are all the same? That's not the smartest thing to do

[Bigdaddyslim01]

Most of them

[sawno]

It became a multicultural problem to me, not because of the item itself and not so much because if the faith but because of the incompatible main culture surrounding it posing a threat to harmony and liberty.

[Miyade]

I don't get how it is a threat?

[sawno]

Its a part of the population that fundamentally disagrees with our culture. So our laws, values, language and so on. This means that as a society we can not live together. That doesn't automatically apply to people practising the faith but most immigranrs here disagree with us on society and as a result dont integrate.

The people in power from the EU know this and use it to there advantage by creating two kinds of propeganda. Internally by showing us how difficult refugees have it and them how they can have a better life here. Which means we purpusely get a lot of economic migrants who refuse to integrate because we do not align in world view causing increased devision between society.

This devision is dangerous because it means a few things when it gets out of hand. First of all it will make democracy fail because there is a to large diversion of opinion watering down the will of its citizens.

[sawno]

The second problem is that if you have multiple groups in disagreement on a small country this creates a lot if tention in society which when going out of hand can lead to civil war. If there are to many and they try to turn this nation into an islamic country the native population will likely see that as a threat and start atracking the islamic people to banish them our by force if they dont leave. A fight like that can only be settled if they leave or trough governamental oppression such as hate speech crimes etc.

You already notice the trend of muslims being victimised and hate speech anti freedom laws implemented to protect them so we can no longer express ourselves on the matter.

So while i dont have an issue with islam i do have an issue with alternative main cultures in my country as that is often the end of democracy and harmony but sadly most people are to brainwashed to accept thus reality.

[TheIceCreamQueen]

My mom is one and she's beautiful. My man's mom and sisters are hijabis and they're beautiful. I just see beauty. Your face is your ultimate canvas, not your hair so keeping it covered doesn't take away your beauty more so enhances it in a way.

[Miyade]

Thank you for this answer, it's sweet. May god keep your family safe and happy

[Shrekislife]

Tbh most the people I see wearing them use ones with pretty patterns so my thoughts are usually on how cute the pattern is, in general I think wearing one is admirable (because it shows their devotion to their faith) and in our current society very brave.

[winterfox10]

I don't care... I'm usually like "Oh, there's a woman who practices Islam," and then I stop thinking about it.

[Miyade]

Great that's the whole point of it

[Steveram9]

I see very strong, confident, beautiful women, with a brave honest heart. Nice hijab 👍

[Miyade]

Yes it takes bravery and confidence when people see it as a weird thing

[Steveram9]

No it's not weird! We're in 2018, the weird who see it wired! be positive. Dont let anyone play with your decisions!

[Miyade]

Thank you for your answer it's encouraging

[Steveram9]

You're welcome😊 in our communities there are some old bags about Muslims, and you hold on your shoulders a message to fell that bags! By showing us the real honest muslim woman.

[Miyade]

I wish i could yell out to everyone that we're really not that different but i feel like people are being too judgmental

[Steveram9]

You can't deliver or persuade a message by yelling out! You need to prove it by good actions, arguments, being friendly showing your cultures, sharing your traditional! Cleaning the bad media ideas! Am I right?

[Miyade]

You're righ but, all of whta you mentionned is what i do as a religious person it's automatic but the message still doesn't go through. I've never been bad to anyone, never insulted anyone or got mad at anyone. I'm only spreading good energy and great advices but then some media comes and ruins people's opinions. I don't like being treated differently i find it ignorant

[MarkRet]

I think of an alien culture that has no respect for me. Muslims hide behind gowns, hijabs, and beards, which indicates how closed-minded they are to everyone else.

[Miyade]

One, a muslim man doesn't need a beard it is just that arabic men are generally hairy, due to high levels of testosterone so don't talk about something you ignore. Two, hijab is a choice and a hijabi is not different, she just prefers God's appreciation than people's. Then finally, islam is the easiest religion to practice if you take a look at Jews and Christians (I'm talking about those who go with the Bible not those who just claim to be catholic) so your answer is just ignorant sir.

[pickyourcliche]

I think they look kinda nice, I've seen some very pretty decorative ones. I don't really think of it other than noticing it's there

[Paige90]

If you want to wear then go for it but I think they look ridiculous and I have no desire to be friends with anyone that wears them

[jacquesvol]

Just like when I see a RC nun or Amish girls or some of the LDS

[Anonymous]

i think that there's too many "hijab" questions on here, that's what i think

[Miyade]

Not as many as men's private parts size i think..

[xZoeyx]

I've literally only seen three the whole time I've been on here. Who cares anyway? This is meant for asking questions. People can ask whatever they want

[Opinion Owner]

i see one every other minute

[Opinion Owner]

the site is run by a turkey person/organization, for christ sakes

[xZoeyx]

Ok well there are many other repeating questions so why attack this one?

[Opinion Owner]

i chose to answer?

[Kuraj]

"Why isn't this illegal here yet?"
Is what I think.

[JimRSmith]

I see somebody who does not respect western values.

[omegajosh]

I honestly wonder if their comfortable

[Miyade]

It's not always comfortable, but it feels as if you're secured. It doesn't feel uncomfortable all the time, just when it gets hot

[omegajosh]

Hmm okay I can see that

[Astoriana]

Usually, I want to know where she got her scarf.

[Miyade]

There are special places where you buy those!

[Astoriana]

Well, that doesn’t surprise me. They’re just so pretty. Most of the hijabi ladies that I know have wicked awesome style too.

[Miyade]

It's generally because we need special clothes that we end up byuing stuff and making into other forms and shapes. It comes out pretty

[Astoriana]

As it should! Modest doesn’t have to mean ugly!

[Coconut_Man]

I just see a Muslim woman/girl. :)

[Miyade]

Well, that's a nice answer

[weaverman]

I like them but dont know any girl that wears one, id like to talk to you

[RiloTubbs]

It's unique and empowering to me

[Miyade]

Empowering? How?

[RiloTubbs]

To openly show where you're from and not being afraid to show your beliefs in such a judgmental world that we're in

[xZoeyx]

Strong women

[Miyade]

What exactly makes you think that? A hijabi can be very fragile and weak but i guess she's strong for defending her belief?

[xZoeyx]

Strong as in she's able to go out and wear something like a Hijab even though she knows she may get negative vibes for it

[xZoeyx]

But yes that too
