@sankofas it really is starting to look like the 1930s. History is repeating. Even in Austria, they're trying to ban hijabs in schools, as well. It's so disgusting and so backwards. Women have the right to wear less (and I'm not hating on them, or anything of that sort) but when it comes to the women who want to cover up or wear modest clothes like the Hijab or abaya's suddenly we're oppressed. Even if hijabi women say they want to wear the Hijab, that they love it, people are like, "No, you're brainwashed." Like, wtf??!!!
          	  
          	  As a hijabi woman, and with the rise of crimes against Muslims, it's honestly scary to go outside. I have to look over my shoulder all the time to make sure I'm not being followed.
