An example of a true Muslim feminist.
I get so upset when people just assume I was forced to wear hijab. In fact, in my family, I came closer to religion first. My mother always says I was her inspiration to get closer to religion. I also get so pissed off when people judge girls who chose not to wear hijab. A few of my non hijabi friends have such a hardcore belief in Islam, it’s awe inspiring. Like Linda says, the point is choice. In the countries and families where hijab is not a choice, that’s oppression. That’s not Islam. If Islam were something to be forced, then why did the Prophet (s) let his guardian, protector, and pillar in life die a non Muslim? Islam does not need to be reformed. Muslims who do not offer a choice in religion need to be reformed.
