I don't have any problem with a woman choosing to dress like that herself. I find the idea of women being forced to dress like that really disturbing. As a female I feel a bit sensitive about some of the Islamic ideas about women and how they would impact my freedoms, individuality, and equal rights. They say they are all about women's rights but many don't believe a woman should hold political office, or even have any sort of official position over a man. Women are killed for not dressing right or going out alone with a man they aren't related to in some Islamic countries. I find it very disturbing. I feel fortunate I grew up in a place with the notion of gender equality. I grew up on an island where my everyday garb was a bikini. I do think this idea that its a woman's job to cover herself up so that men don't have to confront their sexuality or gain maturity in dealing with their sexual feelings is a misguided placement of responsibility.

The hijab among western females is something of a political statement. So be prepared to back it up if you are not Muslim. However, I think it could be totally punk if done right!

I think they are lovely - but then, I admire any woman who covers her hair or wears the traditional garb of her faith.
It's absolutely no different than other religious clothing to me, and I wish that people would mellow the heck out.

I admire women who wear it because it's not something I can bring myself to do just yet. InshaAllah, I will get over my hatred of things on my hair and do it in the near future.
