    I feel for any women forced to cover its degrading to be forced. Anyhow i wear hijab and cover my body with jilbaab. I guess ive worn it for so long its become a part of me. I hate people thinking im muslim but same time i like to cover up and be modest. Hiwever if i did take off jilbaab God knows whag i would wear i love the laziness of jilbaab. I was never into fashion or spending on clothes all the tim
    e. Im not forced to wear jilbaab only hijab i know hopefully i will stop wearing this coz i dont want to be seen as muslim but for now i happy spending time exploring my options as to what im gunnna wear.

    I think men get off sexsually on this whole niqab thing. Ots like a whole new level of porn for them. Unwrapping the forbidden. Most niqabies i know just use niqab as a way to flirt and attract attention from guys. I think guys love that subbmissive and vunerable come and get me look.

    ^ Lol, it's a whole industry. "Arab porn" where the only thing the "pious" submissive would be wearing is the niqqab on her face. Her family must be very proud of her submission and devotion....

    I've had to a wear a hijab since I was 9 or 10,
    I hated it, it was uncomfortable and annoying.
    It affected my self esteem and confidence.

    I can't stand the hijab, everytime I leave the house I have to wear it.
    I just keep telling myself; one more year and I'll be free.

    Has anyone here managed to move away from home, ( for uni)  and then taken off their hijab (at uni)?
    If so what did it feel like?
    Do you still occasionally wear the hijab? (E.g. When visiting family)
    How did your friends/family react to it? (If you did tell them)

    I'm a closet atheist and I've been forced to wear a hijab when I started kindergarten, in spite how my mother was against the idea. I'm 19 and I still wear it until this day. I've always despised wearing a hijab. Occasionally, I do cry when I put one on during the morning lol. What bothers me is the racial attacks and harassment I experience. I get judged easily which hurts the most because no one knows that I'm an atheist and no different to any other Canadian. I do know hijabi girls who would secretly not wear a hijab when they're out because of the fear of harassment or they're just not interested in wearing a hijab. Most wouldn't wear one if they're living away from home.

    I live in London, Ontario, Canada and there isn't much religious and racial minorities in my city, especially Muslims. After 9/11, there have been some racial harassment in my area, especially once there was a sudden rise of extremists in London, Ontario. It started off with two stupid teens (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/04/02/london-ontario-mosque-reaction.html) and that created a fear amongst non-Muslims in London. I'm not saying London is a racist city but there are a few non-Muslims (neo-Nazis, anti-Arabs) who tends to scare the Muslim community. Canada is a very open-minded country; a few racists like most other countries but it's a good country lol

    I'm not quite an ex-muslim yet but I still wear hijabs.  I know my parents would go absolutely mad if I tried to stop wearing hijab.  It does make me angry and upset sometimes when I look in the mirror.  Not just the hijab but all the other dull clothes I wear, there's nothing in my wardrobe that's nice and pretty.  But I try to stop thinking about it and I usually just put it on automatically without thinking.

    Yup, I do, I'm not sure if I label myself as a ex muslim as of yet, it still scares me to say it out loud, like God will smite me or something lol. I wear it still for the majority of the time unless I have panic attack mode and I just rip it off and get a big mac. I feel ugly and frumpy, I never used to, it pisses me off, I feel ugly but I feel bad to dress it up, it looks stupid to be all skinny jeaned and face full of make with hijab, its just pointless and ridiculous. I  don't wear abaya's anymore because I don't want ppl to think or expect me to be more religious, but I look like a tramp and a half, I don't even take time to wrap my scarf decently, just fling it on, fling on baggy uncoordinated shit. My self confidence is through the floor, i'm insecure, and I get depressed at the thought of dressing up aswell, like I don't know how to look decent anymore, or I can't be bothered, I don't know. I feel like i'm wasting my youthful beauty years haha, but I seem to like to punish myself so its here, on my head.

    Yes I know.

    To be fair to Mia she never suggested imposing views on anyone so I don't want to appear to be attacking heras I know somepeople may read other things into a statement.

    But, religion is an ideology. Anyone can have whatever ideology they wish. No thought police please. But it's when people act on those ideologies that it becomes a problem. Same with religion, politics, hobbies or any other form of social interaction that invovles an individual exerting some degree of power/control over the other.

    I started wearing hijab when I was 7 or 8 - long before I could understand myself or my body enough to know the person I was going to be. Growing up with it,  it was very convenient. I didn't have to give much thought to what I was wearing. I could just throw on a hijab and put on an abaya (lol, still do). I didn't care about messing around with my hair. Getting dressed and out the door was very easy.

    Also didn't care too much about how people viewed me because I was very disconnected from the un-Islamic world. My friends were all Muslims. My friends all wore hijab. So it didn't make me feel weird or anything.

    It was when I graduated high school and left for college that the hijab started to become a bit of an issue. Where I had once thought it protected me from those who would judge me for wearing it, it now kept me separated from everyone else. When I went to college, I was ready to break out of the Islamic world and make friends who weren't Muslims, which I eventually did, but the hijab didn't help. I suddenly felt like it was smothering me. I felt antsy in public, like I was somewhere that I wasn't supposed to be. Whenever I took the city bus to school, I felt painfully visible and invisible at the same time. People would notice me and then ignore me. For lack of a better word, I felt like an alien every time I left my house, like I didn't belong even though I've lived in the same area for most of my life.

    I can't wait until I take it off so I can finally feel comfortable in my own skin again.

    Even so, at its worst, atheism is a strongly stated opinion on the internet or a dinner table rant. It'd be fantastic if we could say the same about religion at its worst.

    Loved this story, it kinda remembered me of some movie  xD
    I have never worn the Hijab neither I want to ever wear it.
    You know? The fact that I come from Morocco really helps in this kind of things, I remember once I went straight to my mom and told here "I am never going to wear the Hijab" and she was like "OK"...lol, I remember how scared I was but then I felt relieved to see that she didn't care.

    In Morocco, women,Muslim or not, married or not, don't usually wear the Hijab. And I thank God for that, because, otherwise, my mom would have been really angry with me.
