Muslim Chic
June 28th, 2009A recent article from the Huffington Post talks about Muslim women and the hijab.
If you’ve noticed there have been many many many articles written about hijabis in the last few weeks after statements made by French president Nicolas Sarkozy about banning women from wearing the Burqa in France.
Do you think the article covered the whole hijab issue properly or did it just cause more stereotypes?

I think the article was good, it didn’t reinforce stereotypes at all!
A rare thing isn’t it
Unfortunately though, the ignorance comes from the readers of the article, if you noticed some of their comments. Why can’t everyone just get along? 
I had not read the comments! I usually do though, to see what people’s reaction are.
Yeah, I wish everyone could just get along! Or at least just tolerate each other..
I love that more and more people are coming to realize things about hijab without us having to tell them. It’s nice to see.
I usually stay away from comments on any Muslim-related stories because they just make me really angry.
I liked the article but I am so tired of all of the ‘talk’ and ‘discussion’ and stuff about it all. I really think people need to get a life or look deeper into their own. People really are perhaps bored and need something to do. Always feeling like they want to fix someone else’ life which they feel must surely be broken if it’s not like theirs! I agree with Nadia because it makes me feel angry so I try to steer clear of it all. It makes me upset too that people think this is all something new! They don’t question others who choose to cover their heads or dress modestly for religious or personal reasons. I was at a Yale University conference recently and I was so thrilled to see several young teenage girls walk in in hijab! Some were really plain (to me that means no frills or colors…black, white or gray) and some were more ‘fashionable’ in hijab (style/dress included) but yet still modest. It was refreshing! No one had to group together to feel ‘approval’ or anything and the others at the conference were just ‘normal’!! But then again Yale is not supposed to be a place for ignorance so maybe that’s why everyone felt like everyone else!
