I wear a hijab and whenever someone stares at me I just stare at them back until they break eye contact

[@hanns115]

Same here. Ngl, until then I was very ignorant about what the hijab really meant so I wore it very loose. I remember an older lady and her husband saw me. She must have been self conscious because he said to her about me wearing one and I’ll never forget that she told him “yeah but she’s a Muslim”... I’m not sure why she thought that but I wanted to give her a big hug as I was also very self conscious about it.

I'm sorry, but in some countries women don't have a choice. I don't care if a woman wants to walk around naked or in a burka or anything in between. But i do care if they have a choice or not.

[@kardsh]

Spatr5 what does that have to do with the video? go to those countries and try to speak, why give those women who chose to wear it a hard time? what does it have to do with those countries? the problem is the government of those countries and not the hijab.....

[@hanafeeahmad3954]

Nafolchan no. Muslims wear it because we must. and I still see Muslims getting bullied by assholes but I think wearing his is not a problem...

[@_lithp]

But the vast majority of Muslim women do not *want* to cover their bodies. They are *forced* to cover their bodies by their fathers or their husbands.

[@sarakuzeci3576]

See don't confuse culture and religion. The way a women covers isn't up to anybody but the woman, of course it should be in a modest manner but God tells us to cover our bodies for ourselves. Islam doesn't force a woman to cover.

[@LexiK0688]

I had these girls walk up to me on world hijab day and ask if I wanted to wear one with my septum ring and everything and I felt honored that they would allow me to wear it without being muslim. What was even funnier none of my friends asked or classmates asked me why I was wearing it or cared. I felt empowered when wearing it because It is a very peaceful and beautiful thing.

[@meh6131]

Yes me too, I'm a Indian Muslim and I wear hijab whenever I go out.. it's totally normal around non-muslims.. just like it should be. but in many foreign countries hijab and muslims are seen with a negative point of view and some are also told not to wear it because others feel uncomfortable😑(This has happend with my cousin who lives in USA). India is not a muslim country but it's normal here.. I'm glad that hindus are more excepting than those people..

[@guro6689]

Humanity Shared and your source is what?

[@tabitha9723]

Humanity Shared “I’m proudly Christian and we cover our hair when we go to Church” Where did you get Islam being oppressive from that? Or Islam at all? Also almost every religion has some form of head covering for women, whether in their every day life or just in their place of worship. The concept of the hijab isn’t some isolated Muslim-only thing.

[@tmoizeau9623]

@Humanity Shared the problem is with state religion, not religion. The coran, just like the Bible, is to be interpreted and not directly followed. As a French person, I consider some US ways of functioning crazy but I won't say the main religion, Christiannism, is a cult. Try and think deeper

[@romaissaaveil2200]

i can't live without my hijab it's a big part of me i just love it

[@bagojc]

I am glad for you, but for many women they do not have the option like you do. Many women wish to take it off but cannot. My friend was imprisoned and lashed at the age of 15 because her hair was accidentally showing. for women like you who feel fashionable and religious this is fine. But there are far too many women who suffer greatly and the hijab is like a prison. Wear your hijab, and feel happy you are free, but Maybe you could feel some sympathy for those women?

[@hareemxx935]

agreed^

[@cyryc]

then you are a slave.

[@cyryc]

why would I have a swastika? Hitler praised Mohammed and yearned that Germans would have been able to conquer the world with Islam as its religion instead of Christianity. So... if I'm anti-Islam, I'm *obviously* not a Nazi.

Not sure if someone already said it, but isn't it weird how humans make such a huge deal just because of a single scarf on the head? Even if it has a religious background, it's kinda like wearing a jacket or not wearing a jacket, there shouldn't be any difference just because of a piece of fabric

[@crybaby-uq3oc]

Laura Engel you're right thanks I thought I'm the only one who notice that☺

[@Happycat108]

I somewhat agree with you but at the same time I don't because so much islamaphobia has spread and people learned to thing of it as something weird. When they do this, it somewhat normalizes this and shows people we can all stand together and help eachother out. It's like a campaign

[@sabrinsiddiq7477]

Laura Engel tell that to someone who shouts out "terrorist....go back to your own country!!!" when they see someone wearing the hijab. We treat it like a normal clothing.....the non-Muslims are the ones who make a big deal out of it.

Okay but isn't the burqa ( a full body and face covering) forced in some places? Technically, being a form of oppression. Also, don't try to call out my username. It's an artistic lyric from a song.

[@xsarafr]

Here in the Netherlands there was a a politician who wanted to raise taxes on hijabs. One of my non-religious male teachers wore a hijab to his classes for a whole day, just to make a statement. He is such a cool man. Everyone should be able to wear whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

+Random person haha you're so uneducated where did yu hear that? No they don't, the Muslims pay something called Zakat which is basically like a tax and its a certain percentage of their wealth that they have to pay and the Christians pay jizya which is tax that they pay in order to be protected by the muslims and to exempt themselves from the military and this is usually less than what the Muslims pay

A. E. all countries have rules as to what the people of that country can wear. I'm sure some tribal women would say our laws are oppressive because they require women to cover their breasts. Plus this video is set in the United States, where no woman is forced to wear a hijab, so every Muslim woman who wears a hijab chooses too. If you want to say her husband or religion forces her too, the same could be said for a husband who doesn't let his wife wear short dresses in public.

[@vaaaas6146]

Im 19, muslim, worn a hijab for years, im from United arab emirates and let me tell you: I have a drivers lisence, my mother drives, my sisters drive, they have jobs, Im currently in college, we are taught by men, we work with them, and this is how my family works we go out with friends, we go to the movies, we go out for dinner, we travel in vacations, we've seen so many places in the world we eat good food and do fun things, and I'm still trying to figure out what part of my life is the "oppression" part 🤔 no i know not all muslim women have it as good as me but im all saying is that a hijab is JUST a piece of clothe in NO way does it stand for oppression if it doesnt prevent a women from getting education and living a normal life, which yes in some cases it does were muslim men prevent women from these things but thats because they twisted their faith to that, I mean I am a hijabi and I just love life, oppressed? Nah man if anything im too spoiled 😂 p.s. This is the case with many women in the gcc (gulf cooperation council countries) go to kuwait bahrain qatar, we study we work we travel, hijabs dont oppress us

[@JadedMuse2]

I care and as a Christian, I also defend Muslims. I lived in Atlanta for 6 years and worked at an apartment community with many Muslims from different countries and everyone I met were very kind and thoughtful people. I rented an apartment to an Iraqi family who told me that everywhere they went they were treated like their business was not wanted but I was very helpful to them. They were so grateful they brought me a $50 gift card from Macy's for going out of my way for them...was very thoughtful. I feel the people here in the US should at least try to get to know Muslims and who they really are.

I am a girl from turkey who wears hijab. I just wanna thank buzzfeed for such kind of nice video. I was a bit worried for people’s opinions about us abroad but this video took a load off my mind . Love u buzzfeed❤️

[@pixiebloom1774]

As a Muslim, I'm hurt hearing people say that I was forced to wear my hijab. I love my religion, and I love wearing my hijab. I'm from the Caribbean, and I used to get so much respect for wearing my hijab, I never knew that there were so many people who hated the way I dress until I moved to the UK, and trust me, the UK is not as bad as America. What I don't understand is why people get so upset over a choice I made. This is my life, and I should get to live it the way I choose. Why don't you say Mother Mary is wrong for covering her head? Or, why don't you tell the nuns to remove their headwear? And FYI, just because I'm a Muslim doesn't mean I'm a terrorist. In every religion, there are people who go to the extreme, so why single out mine? People form their opinion base on what is reported in the media, and then they start to judge a culture and religion that they don't know or understand base on what the internet says. I've never been to America, but I'm literally afraid to ever visit. I was offered a chance to go there with my university, but I chickened out at the last minute because I wasn't sure I'd be accepted. I wish people would just ask me why I am a Muslim, or why I'm wearing the hijab instead of assuming that I'm oppressed. I couldn't be more happy with who and what I am, and being a Muslim is a big part of my happiness. Also, for all of you who don't know, real practicing Muslim hate all those people who call themselves Muslims, but see no harm in killing. Killing in Islam is a sin, Allah says, that we did not give life so we should not take it. And for those of you who have never studied the Quran, please don't quote it. I as a Muslim can't even interpret the Quran myself, I have to get someone who is learned and well versed in the scripture to translate it for me. Another thing I'd like to add is, the Quran was revealed over 1400 of years ago, so please don't quote verses from the Quran that was written in a time when people of minority had to fight for their rights. There are lots of book in history that talks of war, and fighting for peace, I don't see people trying to ban those book, or calling those people terrorists. America was Indian territory before white men took it over, but yet they are not called terrorists, they are called founding fathers. Don't judge the majority on the actions of a few. Don't assume all women are forced to wear the hijab because of the few that are. Stop all the hate, please.

Vamp Girl : So you would be against people being tortured in Hell simply for not believing in and worshipping one God?

[@pixiebloom1774]

Smithpolly: If I could count the amount of time I was told that if I'm not saved by Christ I will burn in hell, I would be rich. Everybody have their own belief, I don't judge what other belief. I believe that if your heart is pure and you do good things in life then paradise is granted to you.

[@Smithpolly]

Vamp Girl : Of course, you judge other beliefs. Given that you say you're a Muslim, I assume, that in your judgement you won't be burned in Hell if you are "not saved by Christ".

[@pixiebloom1774]

Smithpolly: Don't put words in my mouth. I have lots of Christians friends, my best friend is Christian and I wholeheartedly respect her religion just like she respect mine. I don't believe everything that Christians believe, but some of our values are the same. So please don't "assume" anything about me. I might not be saved by Christ, but I believe that there is one god, just like Christians do. Any FYI, who am I to say whether or not I will burn in hell, I don't know what god has planned for me. So, I'm "assuming" no such thing.

[@Smithpolly]

Vamp Girl : I didn't say that you judged that you wouldn't burn in Hell. I said that you judged you wouldn't burn in Hell if you are "not saved by Christ". As to who are you to say whether or not you will burn in hell, you're a human being with a mind.

[@elle2778]

I'm confused. I didn't think you had to be Muslim to wear a hijab. I thought it depended on culture/preference, not the religion. But honestly, a Christian girl I seriously don't get why hijabs are such an issue. It's their choice, your hijab doesn't hurt me, and you look hella cute. Leave them alone, goodness.

[@morenarinjani1474]

Well, the Qur'an says that wearing hijab is a must for a muslim women. However, wearing hijab has been becoming a choice for a long time. I myself am a muslim, but I choose not to wear any of that. All I know is that women can freely decide and choose what to wear, and I believe Allah is great. So, yeaaa, I agree with you!

[@houleykoundourou8640]

L.P Yes wearing a hijab is only for Muslims but there are other people who wear things that look like Muslims, such as Christian nuns

[@gracieeggs]

there is something Polish women wear that looks almost exactly like the hijab, some types of Christianity suggest that women cover their heads, and same for some forms of Judaism. :))

[@beccaj8094]

L.P Orthodox Jewish women cover their heads, and some ultra religious Christians cover their head. In many Christian sects it requires women to cover their head (my family is Mormon and in some temple rites women are veiled). It's really an abrahamic religious thing

[@fml8015]

that is incorrect. it is not a must.

[@txsmia]

My Hijab Story: So when I was 5/6, I used to go to mosque to learn how to read the Quran so, I had to wear a Hijab. Once, I left it in my coat pocket and I was at school when it was break. My whole class was playing Tig and then I found out I had a Hijab in my pocket so I took it out. I have a wild imagination 😂 and I said that it gave me speed powers and just thinking about that, it encouraged me! 😂 I forgot to take it off after break and my teacher, who was a Muslim, was like, *You weren't wearing that in the morning, weren't you..?* and I was like inside my head *AAH SO EMBARRASSING I FORGOT TO TAKE IT OFF OMG* but it turned out that the rest of the day I actually liked having it on and I LOVED it when ppl talked actually it so I wore it the next day and many days after and I got used to it! I was wearing it for about a year or two, when I was 7, I had inspired a few people to wear it too and to not be shy. They were scared people moght bully them and I was like, dont let them get you! Youre gonna slay it! Then, when I was 9, I started to wear it wrap around, the more adult way? If u know what I mean. By then I had inspired like about 7,8 ppl and I was so proud of myself! ❤ And my parents especially my dad. He always encourages me to tell ppl about things in Islam and i really cant deny. It's so much fun just telling my friends more about our religion. Now it has been years and years since I started to wear it and I'm still inspiring ppl along the way. My two friends said that they would also start to wear it and I'm just so happy and I'm also excited to see how they will look in it! I LOVE days when there's an event going on like Eid, Weddings, Parties etc because we really have a lot of fun choosing our dresses and Hijabs, Hijab Accessories and Hijab styles. IT'S AWESOME WEARING A HIJAB, I'M SO THANKFUL FOR IT!! 😀😜💖

It is a veiling garment for women in ancient Arab tribal societies, when women could still be captured in the war (like Safiyyah) or slaves were bought on the market or when slaves were given (like Maria the Koptin). This has lost nothing in Siberia or in a Western country of the 21st century.

Legit afraid to comment on this video because it's always such a sensitive topic when it comes to religion and Islam especially. The only thing I'll say is this: awareness and mutual understanding are good things, oppression and discrimination destroy communities. Although I'm a more towards atheïsm leaning agnostic person, I can still see value in this event, even though I'd never want my significant other to cover something up just because a religious book 'prescribes' it. But that's just for my personal situation, and acceptance of others and "live and let live" is something very important to me. :)

Well, there are always different ways to do this 1. You can do the surgery in a room full with girls so that it will be okay to take off the hijab 2. You can replace the hijab with a surgical cap, which still covers the hair 3. Not all surgery requires sterilization, so wearing a hijab during surgery is fine.

[@leaaaaah78890]

As christian women technically we are suppose to cover our hair, many don't seem to know that. Hijab is just an Arabic way of saying veil/ head scarf. Christian women use to wear head scarfs the exact same way but as time went on ppl started feeling it was old fashion. Technically, following what god said we should be wearing it because that's what he intended and god doesn't change. Society tries to act like he does because we are living in a different era which makes no sense. A head scarf is a head scarf, and it can be worn in many ways. It's really not just for one religion, the Jews use to wear it the same way as well. Today society has marked it as only being an Islamic thing and has put a lot of extremely negative stereotype with it, but if ppl really stayed true to the text it was really meant for all.

[@KS-di4df]

Those women were feminists because they fought for their right to make a choice as women, but women in America and other places who wear the hijab and face discrimination are also activists in a sense, because they are fighting for their religious freedom. Both situations are different. And yes, there are women who are forced to wear the hijab or brainwashed or whatever in America and all around the world, but I've also met many people who come from families where their mothers don't wear the hijab, or even their grandmothers, but they do. And generally when I ask them why, they say that growing up in America and seeing all the negativity surrounding their religion makes them feel a responsibility to represent their faith in a better light and to hold on to their traditions a little more.

[@Night_Owlette_30]

To be honest we should distinguish between Islam as a religion and laws put by government, in Islam killing someone without just reason is like killing the whole human race. that Is a translated direct quote from Koran.

Terrorists are winning because we have these forms of discussion, because of the fear that they are inculcating on both sides of the coin. Freedom is when you can choose to wear the hijab because of your relationship with God, and not because of fear.

[@ayaeldeeb9401]

thanks a lot

[@qurat-ul-ainbutt4992]

okay so i wasnt given a choice. my dad forced me to wear it. but now i would not take it off. parents are there to guide us. when we're young our parents tell us to do a lot of stuff and we have to do it. they know better. and i think the decision of the hijab that they made for me was the best one. although i wanted it to be a choice but i dont think i ever wouldve been able to do it on my own.

[@midnightrain9673]

It all comes to how the conversation starts with her. Most hijabis don't mind people who ask about their headscarf out of curiosity, as long as it doesn't sound like she is harassed for her outwear. So i'd suggest to ask her nicely; perhaps start with something really polite like "i'm sorry if this might offend you,(...)". :)

Today... after watching both things against Hijab and with Hijab... i realized one thing... Muslims are good, some are bad It's all on humanity... it depends on who's on who. In some places, clothing like this could indicate that women are objects for men to use. But in some places it's something to cover you up, to make you feel beautiful as a butterfly in a cocoon.... It all depends on which side of the spectrum you view it in, what sort of cultural appropriation your nation uses it, and what part of the world your living in. Its sexist when it's forced. It's ok when it's by free choice of the women with their own fashion style.... It depends on the person. Unless I'm talking about Burka?

[@sarahtalone7031]

Its true. I see a lot of girls wanting but fearing to wear a chapel veil even here, in Brazil, a country known for its catholic culture. I have started wearing my own recently, and even though I mainly attend to mass once a week, its almost difficult to do it, everyone's eyes are on you. But... for the sake of my faith and knowing that it shouldn't be seen at all badly, I ignore it. And no, we should not have fear of showing our love to God in the outside. It is worth it, since He has loved us so much more.

The hijab is designed to cover women because Muslim middle east men acknowledge their own weakness to the flesh of women so instead of disciplineing them selves they oppress women. So you ahould be offended when someone trys to get you to wear a hijab, they are trying to oppress women.

A few months ago, I tried to start wearing a hijab. I am a young Catholic girl and I never thought that I could wear something like this, but I did lots of research. Doing that research, I found out that even people like me can wear a hijab and not be of the Islamic faith but of other faiths! Unfortionaly, I live in a republic state so my mom was scared for me. She let me do it for one day and it felt amazing. Suffering from anxiety and depression I never really felt beautiful, until that day. I was so incredibly happy to be wearing a hijab and I was finally happy with myself. But my mom was worried. She thought that people would look at me weird and would target me thinking that I was Muslim. At the time, I didn't care. I was happy! Then I talked with my therapist and promised that I would wait until I was older and it was safer for me to wear a hijab. I was so upset at the time but understood where they were coming from. I think that it is so sad that people just don't do research on things before jumping to conclusions about people. One day, I hope that everyone can do what makes them comfortable and not be afierd of what others will think, or be scared for thier safety.

I am a non-muslim, and am actually of Jewish descent. I did this once back in 2015 when my college had the Hijab for a Day event, and to this day it was one of the most enlightening and positive learning experiences I've ever had. I started out the day on my own, and did notice a few stares, but then later on I met with my husband, and we both took the train back home. When we got home, he said he noticed several people staring at me very hard, and a couple times he said he purposely took my hand because he wondered what someone would do if he did not display that he was with me. He thought my wearing the hijab for a day was really neat, but wondered why it was such a big deal to people. I love that my experience was not just for myself, but my husband learned a lot as well, in the position of a SO who is with someone wearing a hijab. Are there any men out there who were either dating someone or married to someone who wore a hijab in public at any point in time? What did you observe about the people around you? Did you learn anything from the experience?
