You attcak the muslim hijab but many western women used to wear them and nuns still wear them. Are you going to protest this "Opression"? thought not? Is it becasue you dont like hij abs, or is it coz you dont like muslims? Alhamdulillah I am a 22 year old revert and love my religion and I laugh at how you spend your time, ...
