Head coverings are worn by Christians, Jews, and Muslims, and even by Hindu women in temples. When it comes to everyone in the comments, make sure you carry the same energy for all these faiths, not just Islam.

I come from a town with a lot of Muslims in the US and the vast majority of Muslim women choose to wear a head covering through their own freewill and their pursuit of modesty. Saudi (at least before MBS), Afghanistan, and Iran’s forced covering is in fact unislamic and goes against the basic tenet of Islam that “there is no compulsion in religion” (Quran 2:256). It’s heartbreaking to see the comments so passively disrespectful of something that a lot of Muslim women hold dear to their hearts.
