    ^I'm a non-hijabi with a hijab on in my passport photo and I haven't encountered any particular difficulties whilst travelling. 

    You might if you go clubbing though. I should know Cheesy

    The wind in the hair thing is not overrated at all. It's like the difference between watching a video of a concert online and actually being there, in the front row, feeding off everyone's energy and completely losing yourself and going berserk.

    Ok, thanks. I supect there should be a slight addition, along the lines of "After having internatlised what other people told me to wear....".

    Yes, I'm shameless like that Cheesy It's awkward as fuck for like 20 seconds so I dun cur. I always get weird looks from the person checking my ID and I don't blame them I look really different. I prepare myself for a 5 minute interrogation every time, but it rarely ever happens. My passport is retarded as well, my date of birth is written in by hand and it's not laminated so that makes them more suspicious. I just laugh, put on an american accent and tell them I'm from a third world country and what do they expect from us Cheesy I've never been turned away. THANK DA LAWD FOR MY VAGINA.

    it must be annoying to travel with a passport like that.

    Yeah, it's embarrassing but the hilarity makes up for everything.

    No actually 'cause I only ever travel to see my family and I have to wear the hijab then. I have to go abroad for one of my modules soon though, so we'll see what happens then Grin

    What they meant to say is worth based on how devout she is. You can put a hijab on anything even a pig. Does not equate intelligence.

    I actually never got embarrassed, found the whole thing dead funny watching the reactions on their faces.  It's like a party piece really.

    I'm a hijaabi and I absolutely hate it. My mom made me start wearing it when I was about 10 but it was on and (half) off till about year 11. Now I'm 20 and I still have to wear it even though I lost faith around 2 years ago.

    I have to wear it because of where I am. I grew up here, my parents are here, I have Muslim friends here and I haven't got the courage to stop wearing the hijaab, and I would never be able to tell them I don't believe in Allah anymore. I feel like the hijaab hides the "real me". I want to be myself and I want to find people who like me for who I really am.

    The hijaab also is quite impractical and it stops me from doing things I want. It might seem little and weird but it irritates me so much. For example, they gym. I wanted to join but there are mainly mixed ones in my area and if I join them, other Muslims will say "but there are men there". It's the same with running. I don't want to go for a run with a hijaab on and I can't run in my (nosey) area without it. But I did join the gym after putting it off for almost a year. Other impracticalities are my outfits. I can't wear nice collars, or necklaces or earrings as the hijaab hides it! It even looks weird to wear a scarf around my neck during the winter because of my hijaab.

    I'm still contemplating of leaving the country so I can finally be free but I have two main problems.
    1. I can't leave my family. I did try running away once because they were trying to force me to marry. I had the (shared) house sorted with sixth months rent paid in advance (I was 18 and couldn't provide a guarantor). But on the first night my family begged me to come back and said they would change things. My friend was with me and reminded me about the Ex-Muslim aspect but I disregarded her and in a moment of stupidity I came back home. I was then forced to apologise to them and was told I couldn't see my friends anymore. Things are not as bad anymore. They are not talking about marriage (until I graduate) and they know I see my friends. We get along most of the time and I know I would miss them and they would miss me if I left (but they would probably hate having to explain to everyone that I've run away the most). I would miss my niece and nephew and sometimes I think I'll sacrifice my freedom for them, but I know I don't want to live like this.
    2. I have no money. I will after I graduate and get a permanent job but as I mentioned before they will try to get me married by then.

    Life as an Ex-Muslim is hard and especially since I have no one to turn to where I used to be able to turn to God. Now the future is in my hands and as liberating as that sounds, it's still quite a scary and overwhelming feeling.

    I'm happy I never had to deal with hijab.

    Of course I got pressure from my parents several times over the course of my life - however I think it helps that my sisters also don't wear it.

    I was close to wearing it at one point - bought a bunch of 'pretty' scarves from an Arab country in anticipation. Good thing I backed out of that stupid idea.
    I still have them - maybe I should sell them or something. Grin

    Hi sa397 Smiley Welcome to the forums parrot I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. I know that only you know your parents and how they'll react but I think you should consider losing the hijab. I was afraid of how my parents would react and kept the hijab on begrudgingly for the longest time, until I worked up the courage to tell them I didn't want to wear it; my dad freaked out at first, but he got over it and there was very little drama afterward. What I'm saying is, maybe you'll be surprised by how your parents react?

    I'm an ex-muslim and I have to wear it every fucking days. If I don't, well I might be dead or thrown outside of the house. I don't want that, because it's already tensed at home. So I have no choice to wear it every day when I'm in College, when I go to some family friends' house etc. I've been wearing it since I was 12 years old and I'm turning 19 soon. I don't know when I'll take it off, but it would be of course after I escape away from my house.... :/

    Hi, thank you for replying.  thnkyu I would love it if I didn't have to wear it anymore and my parents accepted it but I know they never will. All hell would break loose and it would all be for nothing. They already think the "Shaytan" is getting to me because I act "English" and I apparently wear tarty clothes when they're just jeans. I'm not even allowed to wear leggings under a dress. Oh and I know my mom would never allow me to take my hijaab off because she even made me return a short coat because it wasn't covering my bum. Annoyed me so much!

    Even back when I was a muslim I couldn't understand how any self respecting man could marry a woman in a niqab.

    What they are essentially doing is saying

    " I will marry this woman without even seeing what she looks like let alone talking to her and I'm happy letting mum decide if her looks and personality are a good fit for me"

    Makes me wanna tell those hardcore muslim guys

    ^ I always wondered what happened in arranged marriages (the "we first met on our wedding day" types) if the couple hated each other's looks right away, or didn't get along. How exactly does that work? Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy but we're getting married! There's absolutely nothing guaranteeing that they'll fall in love or even be able to live harmoniously with each other.

    The niaqabi thing reminds me of an old article I read:
