I was just remembering for some reason, the day I was about to leave a parking lot with my mom, when I saw a woman in a human and I forget what like, those long clothes are called, I'm sorry lol but her design on them was amazing! If what red and gold and she LEGIT looked almost like a princess, i was gonna compliment her on it, but my window wouldn't roll down and my mom drove away. Low key disappointed that day. But I was just wondering, would it be weird if I HAD said something? Like, would they be more weirded out or even offended if I said I liked the design on her hijab?
Is it weird or creepy to compliment a girls hijab out of the blue?

As a woman, it tends to be ok to compliment other women's clothes. As long as it's clear you're not singling out her religion, it would probably be fine to say:. "I really like the embroidery on your outfit." or "Those colors look really great together."
A lot of hijabs are very beautiful and have amazing designs and detail on them. Plus, everyone enjoys a nice compliment but the way it is delivered does mean a lot.

Women platonically complimenting other women is a joy in this world that men will never understand
Quite a statement you made there. A bit offensive too. Please don't make assumptions about what men can or can't understand. It's more a case of differences in what the different cultures permit. There's a lot of things men are not allowed to do that women are, or that there's a higher threshold for doing for men then for women.
It's probably just a really random thing to complement someone one, like I've heard of people complementing someone on other things, but not their hijab.
I agree with MileCake, in terms of there's probably a way to do it, without feeling awkward.
I don't see why that would be weird? Just don't obsess over it. I like to make casual comments like "I really like that color on you," so it respects the woman's intended modesty.

If some girl was wearing skme variation of it and i thought it actually looked kinda cool, I would have reservations about talking to her because she's Muslim and often times speaking to a Muslim woman is not an act men unknown to her should engage in as part of their stupid culture. However... I would probably say something anyway because in this scenario I did find her hijab interesting and i would love to see her reaction so I would say, "nice head thingy. Looks cool".
The hijab is worn to stop protect a Muslim woman from men's gaze. You see Muslim men can't stop themselves from raping a woman unless she covers herself.
They don't. According to Times of India 2018 statistics not one Muslim country made it on the top 6 for highest rape cases. Next time get your facts right
So you're trying to tell me that Muslims want to go into other countries to rape women? Instead of doing so in their own? And not one of these Muslim countries made it in the top 6 yet these non Muslim countries only have a high rape crime rate because of Muslims? DUDE. Are you a retard? Did your parents not teach you how to think rationally?
Also, you can't actually say Muslims rape crimes are high UNLESS the rape was done based on their BELIFS. Otherwise there is no link to Islam, and it's just people that happen to be Muslims doing the crime. I dont see people writing Christian rape crime for every John and Arthur that is a rapist.
25-29 and still can't think for yourself. Poor sod.

No... I’ve told many hijabs women they are hot lol... and I want them 😂 Should see their faces hahah... I’ve also said pretty hijab... they like it for the most part
@anniisa Have you read the Quran? Have you not read all of the oppressive, sexist, and misogynistic things written in there? No one can tell me it's not an oppression scarf. Here are some examples: Quran 4:11 - "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" Quran 2:223 - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..." (A man has dominion over his wives' bodies as he does his land.) Sahih Bukhari 62:81 - "The Prophet said: "'The stipulations most entitled to be abided by are those with which you are given the right to enjoy the (women's) private parts (i. e. the stipulations of the marriage contract).'" In other words, the most important thing a woman brings to marriage is between her legs. Need I say more...
@Adrianna7868 FFS this is sad. Lol I'm a Muslim. I know my own religion thanks and I have read the Qur'an. By the way quoting what someone said isn't apart of the Qur'an.
Also, just because you've taken some quotes completely out of context doesn't mean they're promoting sexism. Or trying to say that females are treated like items. I can easily do that to any book if I wanted. Its easy. Showing some quotes alone doesn't prove shit, why? Because there's other quotes in the Qur'an that completely contradicts your statements.
I could go on and on about these but we would be here for literal days. Trust me, I use to spent my late teens correcting idiots like you online and spend a good 40 minutes on my responses. But those days are over.
Next thing you will be commenting are quotes showing me that the Qur'an promotes death to non Muslims if they don't abide by Islam. Even though they're in the "War" section of the Qur'an and don't apply under normal circumstances with the average non Muslim. 😂 We've heard it all.
@anniisa You apparently don't know your own religion. The Quran is a book filled with the insane ramblings of an illiterate pedophile merchant warlord.
You're funny but what you're saying is complete bullshit just to say. Seems like y'all get the info about this shi from the same website every damn time. y'all keep saying the same words over and over again goatfukers opression pedophile camels desert killing infidels. Boooringggg. Move on. Search for something else to be ignorant about dumbass.
How stupid can people be. Okay look watch the video again analyze what you just said... This was the norm of the society! People used to die when they neared their 50s and 60s. Plus she was not a child as the Quran says that marrying a child is prohibited. They even gave you examples of Saints and the British government and everything! What more do you need!
Follow the teachings he brought from God? Yea. What do you mean exactly? I plan on finishing my studies and immigrating to Canada. What do you plan on doing?
You idiot. Do you even know what Sharia law is? It's Islamic Law. Jihadists, are warriors of Islam. All these ISIS "Jihadists" have completely ruined normal Islamic vocabulary.
Jihadists DO NOT kill the innocent. Sharia law isn't evil, majority of Saudi Arabia's laws aren't even from Islam. The only decent people that are known as Jihadists nowadays are Hamas. I dont care what you *think* you know about Islam, you clearly don't know enough.
@Adrianna7868 please PLEASE. Do your own research. I've done this in the past where I spent time and effort and it still went no where. Not because the evidence I provided wasn't good enough but because if people don't want to listen and already have their mind made up about something they're very unlikely to change their mind.
Do your own research. It's not up to me to try to convince you here. Or win an argument it's the bigger picture. And to most people it's only about winning an online argument. Nothing more.
@anniisa Well if you aren't providing me with any context for these so called "out of context" quotes, then I have no reason to believe that they are false. You do realize that people like you who go out of their way to avoid any opinion that isn't theirs and provide no proof only serves to make your religion look worse? As said before, I would be more than willing to listen to your justification for Islam so long as you have proof when doing so. This is only going to drive more people away from Islam and make people even more skeptical of the religion. Hope you have a nice day anyways
Why should I have to do research for others? Isn't it your own responsibility to do research with an open mind before you judge anything? I would assume that's what a reasonable adult does. What's the point in Googling "Bad quotes in Quran" or "Good quotes in Quran" dude anyone can do this! I could do that right now.
I'm asking you to read *everything* in full context not just these quotes. If I were to give you quotes that show the opposite of what you're saying, you would then go and pick on something else. We would be going around in circles.
Read the Qur'an yourself without quotes but a whole book without no judgements or misunderstandings.
This white convert I know dad was fully against him joining Islam. He was a very religious Christian but after a few years he began reading the Qur'an. He's still not jumping for joy about it but he has admitted he's come to terms with it. Point is, it wasn't his son's job to try to convince his dad about Islam. His dad took it amongst himself to do so with the right mentality. Not "I'm gonna destroy these guys in a debate".
@anniisa its not biased its from an ex muslim who has seen both sides of the argument. The only one who is biased is you defending your family’s religion. Also the video is not meant for you it’s meant for everyone here on gag
@vald9inches just because you claim to be an ex Muslim doesn't mean you know any better. I feel like you ex Muslims think you're dropping one on people when you say this but it doesn't mean much
Lmfao of course!! He is dumb and doesn’t know ANYTHING about Islam because he is an ex muslim right? But if he went back to islam he will be so smart and know a lot about islam!! Lmfao omg the hypocrisy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@vald9inches yeah that's totally what I said. " If he goes back to Islam he's the next Einsteen" Jeez. I'm happy people with your intellect don't support Islam.
Truth is the a lot of Muslims who actually argue online don't know what they talk about half of the time either. That's why idiots like yourself get all excited over winning an argument ONLINE. And the people that do know don't go online on flippin' GAG to argue religion.
But neither do the vast majority of you people who are against Islam because you're literally asking ME to provide you quotes to prove you wrong. Dude get out of here and educate yourself responsibly. You morons literally sit here expecting GAG users to make you change your opinion over politics. Lazy much.
@anniisa Everything that this ex muslim says is true and he is very knowledgeable about the Koran and islam and the culture and my experience living there affirms everything he has said
@anniisa if you are so knowledgeable why don't you disprove the things he is saying? it should be so easy for you since YOU ARE SO KNOWLEDGEABLE and know EXACTLY WHAT ISLAM IS right?
It's a woman's choice. In some cases yeah it can be forced but that doesn't mean you go around looking at every strangers wearing the hijab as if they've been oppressed. Get a life dude
@anniisa No, it's not a woman's choice. I have listened to several lectures by an activist in my country named Soheila Fors, who fought herself free from that kind of oppression. Although she still receives death threats from muslim immigrants for not wearing a hijab or niqab. She was tortured, burned, slashed and harassed by friends and family alike for exposing what really goes on in a collectivist Middle Eastern society riddled with Islam. Women are not only victims of this, but perpetrators as well, because they pass on the indoctrination and act as soldiers of this culture as well as men. Therefore you cannot simply rule out that this culture is bad because you'll have women who says it's their choice. Soheila still aids young girls and men who looks to break free, but many of them pretend nothing is wrong as to not be either branded a traitor and killed, or because their family have imprinted the collectivist notion in them that if one family member does something bad, it reflects poorly on everyone.
It all comes down to ignorance on this subject and liberal/leftist media lies. To such a degree that even though clearly not well versed at all in the subject, a woman like you blindly defend it. It's sad to see such ignorance and misguided notions of, "tolerance" for the intolerant in some people. Even though those of your stance, thankfully, are receding drastically.
So because you've heard about women being in extreme cases this now means it's the norm? Bro are you stupid? Have you been to any of these countries for yourself? I'm gonna say you haven't because you've never mentioned it. If you had you would have said by now. I have. I know what it's like.
You're points are as valid as some South Asian in India telling me all White people are racist because of their friend who had tolerated much racial abuse living in the West. Yet you would be pissed for being generalised by other people who have never been to these places for themselves, and just take one person's story or a few documentaries of extreme cases and now are like "Wow these people are savages". How typical.
Oh and because someone online tells me it's not a woman's choice to wear a hijab, because they bought up someone else's story that's saying something else with their own experiences. That much been the other billions of women are also in the same circumstances. Smart.
@anniisa Such emotion, so little reason. Extreme cases? This is the entirety of the Islamic cultural structure. On what grounds do you call it extreme cases? Do you have statistics, proof? I'm a politician, a deep student of history and I have tons of friends from these regions including the woman I mentioned. Real people from the Middle East, you denying or outright ignoring her authentic story is only ludicrous. I can only assume you're hopelessly biased on the subject. No, I haven't been there, yet. So? Do you seriously think you're the only one who can be correct on this because you've been there, what, a few times? Strolled around, listened to a few old people? Is the only way to accrue to knowledge about a region to be there in place? Enriching perhaps, but exclusively the only way to know something? Please. What do you know of the history, the religious political situation, have you merely listened to one side of the spectrum, or never considered the truthfulness of those who spoke?
As I said, tons of friends and a woman who grew up in this system, I hardly think she, who's devoted her life to fighting this, lies. And the fact that you blatantly ignore my conveying of her story and cause, that's anti-intellectual. Unless you're calling me a liar.
I have no interest in your inane parallels. They contribute nothing factual to the debate. And clearly, you do not know what it's like.
Where did I say that I generalized an entire people as savages? What's typical here is that the only way for people to have an argument against you is to purposefully misconstrue what you say and put words in your mouth. Let me tell you what is savagery, Islamic culture is, and the greatest extent of Arabic culture is. For goodness sake until recently women couldn't even drive in Saudi Arabia, and the price for shoplifting is still losing a hand.
Gender mutilation, public executions, religious persecution and draconian laws. You tell me how that's not savagery.
@anniisa Why does everyone do that as soon as an actual discussion is begotten? "Too long to read", 2000 words is nothing to read through, takes half a minute if even that. Sure, I'll DM the same text too you. Why-ever that's any different to this. At least you didn't block like some other cowards have done.
You really good this belief that what you say is some kind of break through. And with that attitude, everyone's got you thinking it must be this unknown info you have when we've heard the same things for years from people like you. It gets boring.
by the way I asked for a discussion not for the same essay to be copy and paste but whatever.
@anniisa I'm been known to be very funny when I want to be, thank you for the compliment! :) *takes a bow* Stop being sad? That doesn't make any sense. I am carrying on the convo, you're the one who's continuing things here, silly!
