Salaam Elekum

I would have put this in the sisters section, but apparently I don't have enough posts to do that yet....dumb policy, but no offense.

I'm really depressed with the way people are treating Muslims, so sad that I'm considering taking off my hejab when I go and look for work and put my kids in public school. I ate being treated like an out cast and talked to like speak jibberish. Muslims here are not nice to me at all, they are un-supportive, judgemental and think they are supperior. I have no one to lean on and just want to live my life without stares without people talking down to me and without nasty behaviour around my kids. Please don't tell me that I'm ordered by Allah swt to wear the hejab....I do know this, I know about Islam, I did read the quran before I reverted. Don't think I'm about to be sporting mini skirts and low cut tops, I'm talking about the scarf part of the hejab. Just wondering if anyone has ever been in this situation and can give some good advice, no know it alls please, I've been knocked down enough in the past few years.

Salam alikum,
you seem to be very touched indeed, wuold like to give you some advices, and allah hopefully gives you guidance.
I am alone sister - in my whole town there is no muslim at all - I mean stable inhabitant. Despite that I wear hijab outside and also at my workplace. SOME poeple in my surrounding also tried to treat me way you describe and they always do, but think about it. It is not your fault that they have weak character, that they try to put you in position of second class., that they humiliate others... You have nothing to do with that. Hijab is one of your protection and if you give up of hijab, you very easily fall into society of disbelievers, they will invite you - no doubt, but you might loose their respect - and that will happen most certainly. The worse will be that you might not recognize it.
w alikum assalam
