[quote]i agree; most of the time we do not at all need to clarify or justify our hijab~and really we don't need to be unnecessarily concious about it either. however there have been genuine racial/religious attack cases because of head scarf/hijab/burqa etc. and some of our sisters can be really tested with it~ but i don't think presently the situation is so bad  that demands giving up these coverings.

i feel that our community needs to get involved with the members of other community at individual and collective level as much as we can afford to in our own circumstances~ in my experience, people know very little about the details of the rituals and practices of islam whereas in our minds, wen we are walking down the street, we feel that people looking at us know the whole Qura'n, prophet's sws teachings, hx of islam and so on;

once, as i asked some of our area ladies to send their teenagers in order to participate in the event organized by our local interfaith org. where 2 members of each community would dialogue with each other about their faith; some of the mothers felt very insecure and rejected the invitation from the org. straightaway saying that they did not want their children to be confused by givng them info. about other religions.
i feel that our young adults should be encouraged to participate in the academic way of learning, not only about their own religion, but as far as possible, about the ones around them; otherwise how do we expect others around us to learn or know about ours?[/quote]
