I feel sorry for your women (talking about hijab)

"Why do you have to wear that thing on your head?" "Do you speak English?" These are some questions that some Muslim women receive when they are seen wearing their Hijabs, a head cover with loose fitted clothing. You should see their faces when the Muslim females converse with the curious seekers, their eyes open wide, and their mouths hang. Some of the Muslim females have no foreign accent.

So, why do women wear that hijab? Many would say Allah commanded them to do so; and then to serve modesty purposes.

Hijab is actually a liberation for many women. They don't follow the pressures of media and a superficial society. Women are confident that their minds speak louder than their bodies.
