I see girls all the time younger than 8 in the school I work at wearing hijabs! These are girls who are very undeveloped and their childhood is robbed from them by being turned into awras!

You're not understanding the reason for the little girls' wearing hijabs are you Finally Free? What if one of their Daddys' friends' see them, begin to lust for them & see them in their wet dreams?

Sahih Bukhari 9.140

Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.

Since Muhammad had such a dream regarding his best friend's 6 year old or younger daughter, those hijab wearing girls' fathers' Muslim friends, who consider Muhammad their "insaan i kamil" are just as likely to have such wet dreams, you know!

Sadly I have noticed this trend as well, even though I don't work in a school environment. I see it predominantly amongst the Somalis thought so it could also be a cultural phenomenon although that still doesn't excuse the fact that it is disturbing to us infidels.

I started wearing the hijab when I was about 5 because I wanted to copy my mom. Unfortunately, I got stuck with it. My 8 and 12 year old sisters also started from around that age. My four year old sister now wears it for the exact same reasons (because everyone else does it). She's been wearing it to preschool almost everyday now. It starts off as playing dress up, then you get to a certain age where you should be wearing it anyways so you're stuck with it.

According to my mom, we all 'chose' to wear it.

Thanks HB, that's a pretty good video. I respect people's rights to cover up however I will never warm up to the idea of covering ones face. It's unnecessary.

Pfft, it's necessary if you want to go around Muslim men without having them down your freaking throat!

When I was Muslim, I only wore niqabs to the masjid because the men would stare you down as if they had never seen a woman before! It was so creepy. And being that women were very active in that particular mosque, that made no sense! After about 6 months of living up the street from that place, I started keep a veil in my glove compartment just because I didn't feel like dealing with the stares!

I'll come in from left-field here

I dislike the hijab and all it represents. It's a tool that aids the suppression of women and for all the claims that it liberates women, it denies them freedom. They are restricted in movement which then causes them to become restricted in thought. It's oppressively hot and so limits a woman's desire to be out during warm days, getting them in the habit of not venturing out for months on end and therefore not at all when the weather does cool down.

It also makes them fearful and serves to make other women apparent victims. Good women wear hijabs to repel unwanted sexual attention and by that logic, the women that don't wear hijab are obviously asking for it, right? Of course this isn't the official line but how many times have we come across this mentality not just from our relatives but from the clerics, the supposedly enlightened people of the mosques? Al Hilali likened the a woman not wearing a hijab to uncovered meat around feral cats, saying that if the meat then got tampered with, whose fault was it?

The hijab, in this sort of backward mentality, provides misogynists like these people to get away with the assault on women, to place to blame of the attack on the victim, to absolve the perpetrator.

I also hate this idea that men are so bloody weak that if they see a pretty girl, they won't be able to help but maul her. That's rubbish and I am offended on behalf of all the men I know who, though they frequently see pretty girls, have never once laid an unwanted finger on any one of them.

So I dislike everything about the hijab.

What I'd be interested in is, what did the women wearing the niqab and hijab think of the woman that wasn't wearing one? I know they said it's a personal choice...but really, I wonder what they felt about her?

What I always ask hijabis and niqabis is, if they believe that the hijab is a personal choice as they personally wish to obey God, then what about in strict Arab countries where women are forced to wear the veil? Is that something we should condemn? If they say no, they're contradicting themselves, and if they say yes, well then they're on their way to realizing the liberal principle.

Personally I think the niqab and burqa are total hotness. Whwenever I see one I turn into a rampaging sex fiend. Doesn't happen with girls in bikinis though. Just sayin'.

Absolutely. I love women who walk around like birthday-presents, with all the cloths wrapped around their bodies and a ribbon on their heads. It basically reads like this to me: "Hey young stud, wanna know what's inside this innocent package?". Ooo, they are teasing me so much, I can't handle it!

But that is part of the problem, you dont know what's inside the innocent package. What happens if you find Kemal out of Big Brother?
