salam alikum,

this phenomena is interesting. When I said to non-muslim from my family here they told me automativally - you will see how fast you will go down in scale of society if you start wearing hijab.
They were partly right and partly not. I also became may be 2nd class citisen because it it reality how society is set up. May be this is place where we really are. It might include two views
First - prejudice and caution, pride, uncertainity...
Second - truth that muslim woman is not encouraged to play prime role outside home, she is discouraged by many muslims not to take leading positions or positions required lot time concentrating to work.

I wish to Yvonne and to all of us lot of patience, opportunity to show who we really are, to stay nice hijabis or niqabis

w alikum assalam
