As long as it is your choice to wear it, I will protect that right for anyone to do so

for me it was me who begged my parents to wear it XDDD while my mom was like no u still young (i was 18yo ) XDDDDDDDD

[@rebeccan8290]

very much same, I'll protect the right of any woman to wear a burqa and to not wear a burqa. I don't think anyone should decide what women wear besides she herself.

[@RM-xm5rw]

i wear the hijab and it is my choice at 26 i decided to wear it it was my choice between God [ Allah] and me. Thank you for your support. And the same for me i will let nobody to tell us to wear it or not to wear it, we are all free to wear what ever we want. if a woman wants to have green hair it is her choice i will not tell her what she has to do ornot to do ., we are all free to live the life we want. i am muslim and i wear the hijab fo plaise Allah my creator and i try to behave well in order after my death to go in paradise.take care . i love you sooooo much thank you.

As you know the true hijab in islam is to cover your body and your head except your hands and your face . Niqab is only one of arabic traditions it's not an obligation but I'm not calling all women who wears niqab are extremists

[@soslothful]

So wearing a hijab is not required by Islam?

[@JupiterMoon777]

​@@soslothful It depends from which muslim background you come from. Normally educated and intellectual muslims will not wear this, "intellectual" being key word here since holding an academic degree is just that and has nothing to do with real intellect.

[@JupiterMoon777]

You have my sympathies Hadijah

[@Rabiea0]

Absolutely impressive and encouraging pearls of wisdom. I learned from you so much as a Muslim woman. It does not matter what people wear but how they are judged through others. Thank u for not judging burka and Abaya. Islam is peace loving religion contrary to what non-Muslims may think of it. Islam accepts and teaches all to respect and care for all human beings regardless of creed, religion and ethnic background. Bravo to you for sending such a profound message. 👍❤️

[@homeschoolresourceswithnad186]

You reminded me of an in incident fresh out of college at work about 45 minutes away from my highly Muslim populated home. I have a had scarf on and not burka, face exposed and western clothing, only my hair covered, normal hijab. Went out normal in my hometown. So at work during lunch my “American coworkers” and I decided decided to go to a local restaurant for lunch. As we walked in to a full restaurant, everyone became silent and all heads turned and looked at me. All I could say is “all eyes on me.” I just smiled, waved, and walked along to our tables. Had a great lunch with smiles and laughs. We Muslim women are not oppressed. We are highly educated, confident, respectable women. We go to college if we choose, we choose our careers and lol our own choices in life. You have the freedom to wear as little as you want, I have the freedom to wear as much as I want.

[@sincerely-t6t]

educated? when you have said anything to protect those who refuse to wear that? you simply highlight your idea of prejudice but the actual threat of those who refuse or question that in sharia countries is seen as cultural. meeeh

Yes ,you are free but in west and by rulls of demokrati and human rights in west not by islamic rulls, you can divorce, keep your child, choose your clothing....and many otherthings which is a dream for many women in most muslim countries. Wearing a Hija is 100% depended on who rulls in middeleast or muslim countries, scince late 80 and 90,s more country are rulld by muslim leader and since then you see more and more women wearing hijab, which it was quit different in 50s,60,s and 70s no women had hijab, so it is quit obvious that it is highly effekted by aeras political map.... of course in many countrys now in last few decades it has not been achoice but a force and all system and edjucation is on their hand. The effect of this few decades show itselfe in a very wide brainwash all over women who claim " hijab is our identy!!!!!"without knowing any thing about history and rulls of those country and women rolls in history.....Hijab is higly dicided by who rulls in middeleast. By your hijab in west you support more and more your systers unfair and unjustice situation in the east muslim countries. If you are educated learn som history and political hisorty ...... By the way education is a degree it has nothing to do with intellectual , consciousness and Awarness

[@WalterWiperi]

Thank you, Professor Hogan for the open invitation to approach Muslim Women with curious inquisitive openness and not be fearful that their families will not disown or hurt them. I appreciate the naive willingness you hold for accepting the public clothing imprisonment demonstrated by individuals who openly show they are not interested in me, myself, I. To cover yourself entirely is a statement of isolation and obedience to patriarchal cultures (cultures in which men dress as they please). I remember trying to ask a Samalia Women about her coverings. She glared at me and walked 5 steps away and faced the opposite direction. I generally give compliments to women and men, who have made an effort to look exceptional and stand out. I have been taught and encouraged to treat Muslim Women as Muslim Men/Boys do, invisible. They are like trees standing in the modernness of our current time, as background white noise. Please Muslim Men - grow up, become human beings. We are all connected. :)

How about going to strict Muslim countries and telling them to change themselves and to be accepting to women who don’t want to cover their head and faces especially women who are from other countries and don’t follow that custom?

[@mariemunzar6474]

In the west the face is critical. You turn and look at the face, eyes, and facial expression when talking to someone. If someone is hiding their face it comes off as unpleasant and uninviting and gives off the subconscious vibe that you aren't interested in having a conversation. This doesn't just go for an islamic veil this goes for anytime you're hiding your face from someone.

[@jonathancortez7145]

Covering the face makes me uncomfortable because I can't see who I am talking too. It's not about culture for me, it's about wanting to connect with the person I am talking too and the face covering doesn't allow me to do that.

[@munasfam3174]

So just because you feel uncomfortable while talking to that person in that small moment, she must take such a drastic step as removing it entirely? Don't you think that's extremely selfish? How about you just get used to it? The niqab is worn in several countries and regions but no one minds, everyone's used to it. It's almost as if you haven't watched the tedtalk at all. It's not so much as about the person wearing it, but the person perceiving it.

[@mariemunzar6474]

@@munasfam3174 you could turn that around though and say the person covering their face is being selfish for doing it not caring that it makes others uncomfortable.....it goes both ways......in polite society you try and make others feel comfortable around you if possible.....although it is technically your choice what you wear.....a little self reflection is needed sometimes though, are you wearing something distracting or are you wearing something that matches the time, place, and situation you're in so that you blend in well in a healthy way?

It is true but it depends on the person too. Some people with niqab can communicate just fine.

Wearing whatever you want is not the issue, this video can be educational but dismisses the latest history that the first robe has in relationship with terrorist attacks. It’s part of the reason why some people don’t trust being to next to someone dressed from head to toe. It can be hard to trust people, much more when you don’t have a face to kind of inspect its expressions,genuineness and probable intentions.

Besides which, it's entirely possible to completely misread facial expressions, esp when interacting with a culture you are unfamiliar.
