y’all act like taking a hijab off is like taking off a sock. It’s not. The hijab is a powerful symbol in Islam and her having these concerns isn’t going to “hArM uR sAfeTy” at the airport. She still did it and even admitted what she could’ve done to avoid this anxiety. Y’all are overreacting as usual.

@@qavory3397 It's her religious belief. In Islam it is heavily frowned upon for any man, aside from close family and the husband of the hijabi woman, to see a Muslim woman's hair. It is considered to be extreme disrespect for a man to see a hijabi woman's hair if he is not close family or her husband. So, no. It is not as easy as taking off a scarf. It is stripping someone of part of their identity. It is disrespecting someone's faith and being incredibly ignorant.
You are correct also I have something to say. So basically my mom is Portuguese and Portuguese was once run by Muslims (I’m sorry I don’t know your proper religious name) so technically I’m part Muslim. And I think it is very important not to forcefully take off a Muslims hijab. That is all I have to say. Have a good day.
@@alexjeanne241 Hey sweetie!! I just wanted to let you know that since Islam is a religion, and religion is something you must believe, you aren't Muslim unless you follow the religion. Your ancestors might be Muslims, but unless you believe in the religion yourself, you aren't Muslim since being Muslim isn't an ethnicity!
in the middle east if they need to check u at airports, they provide a private room & a female for all women no matter ur religion, nationality, age or ethnicity...I found this was best way it doesn't humiliate women or make a scene and u feel like a human being respected too
I understand that and that's completely reasonable but it's not everybody else's job to research someone else's religion. If somebody else needs accommodations for their religion they need to know what those accommodations are and needs to ask for them.
@Maria H. And that's what they did. But to put her in a private room with a female for her to be checked without her asking means they know about her religion and can accommodate her. That is her responsibility she needs to advocate for herself and request the things she needs.
My brother and me are Sikh. He wears a turban and I don’t, we both don’t cut our hair. I am a girl and he is a boy. We were at the airport and I’m so happy that we are allowed to show our hair or it would have been a awkward situation to be in when the airport check in security asked to remove his turban in public. I can’t believe they made a hajabi remove it.
Black woman here. Hair in our community is extremely important, and strangers touching my hair without my permission is an attack on hard-won autonomy thats just recently become recognized. I once went through airport security with my naturally big curly hair in a ponytail and security stepped behind and in front of me and without asking or telling me what was going on (actually grabbed me) and roughly ran her dirty gloved hands through my hair. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was checking for razor blades hidden in my hair. I had already gone through the detectors and nothing came up. When I asked her why the other non POC women with ponytails weren't getting their hair checked, she didnt have an answer. I was a minor at the time and had never been so humiliated in my life. Those who haven't experienced getting singled out for the way they look will never truly understand what it does to you and will always think you're being dramatic until it happens to them
Ikr! Honestly this should not happen to us. Just because we look different. I remember back when I was in year 2, all the time I was constantly harassed. People I didn’t even know were going up behind me and touching my hair… I am also a black women. we should not have to be harassed just because of what we look like. Just because we have thick curly hair, doesn’t mean I can’t feel you touching our hair. Doesn’t mean we should be treated differently. I’m sorry that happened to you…
She's not rejecting the idea of being examined for national security, she's expressing her regrets for not asking for a private room and female guard. Everyone has the right to be comfortable when being checked. Purposely being humiliated or forced wouldn't sit right for many. Most people would feel humiliated if security asked them to strip to their undies in public. Most would ask for a private room and the same gender to inspect them.
Yeah, like if they told me to take my mask off (I don’t like taking my mask off because I don’t like people seeing my face) I would feel extremely uncomfortable.
In elementary school, we once had a lunch/recess supervisor scold a boy for wearing a 'hat'. It was a yamaka, not a hat, and many of us children understood that but this woman didn't. When he said he didn't want to take it off, she yelled at him and sent him to the principal's office. He left the cafeteria crying. Other kids tried standing up for him (respectfully, we were trying to educate her), but anyone who did so had to sit out at recess. Even after the boy came back with approval from the principal to keep wearing his yamaka, the monitor didn't apologize and everyone else still had to sit on the curb at recess for 'disrespecting' her (standing up for a classmate and calling out discrimination). I complained about this to my teacher, saying it wasn't fair. And my teacher simply said "Life isn't fair." Great lesson. I hope none of that staff ever stood up for themselves when something happened to them, because apparently we're not allowed to make things right when injustices are happening. Be submissive.
@MochiiAnj This was 13 years ago, I don't think that'll do much now! Not to mention, I came home with a lot of stories of unfairness at that school, and my parents always thought I was being dramatic. I don't remember what made them realize I wasn't being dramatic, but it wasn't until I was in middle or maybe even high school
@@obsessedcalamity the biggest reasons life isn't fair are 1. Things 100% outside of our control like illness and natural disasters 2. People behaving unfairly and dismissing wrongdoing they don't want to bother with So life being unfair is perpetuated by the saying and attitude "life isn't fair."
"Disrespect" should never be allowed as a reason. It's too vague. I've read too many stories of basic correction (even of the spelling or pronunciation of the student's OWN NAME) being called disrespect and and used to punish students
Your story helped me. I made sure that once I started wearing hijab both my driver’s license and passport also now have a picture of me wearing hijab. Asalaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatu.
I heard from someone taking a hijab off feels like taking ur pants off and i guess that really made me realize whats it like for u all when someone tells u to take ur hijab off. Must be uncomfortable.
@@SalemsForgottenWitch Yes that too. I get it's a sensitive thing, along as these options are there it's fine in my opinion. To me security and safety will always go before religious expression.
@@Nancy-hz9ts It is in fact hard to be a Muslim woman, no matter where you are in the world. Your comment and this comment section in general just proves it.

@@kiranmahilange9 she's not complaining. She said herself that she should have asked for a private room but she was new to wearing a hijab. It's not a hard concept to grasp that she was probably scared and frightened in the moment and she's just explaining her experience.

Sorry real quick can you find my any proof of your religious beliefs that's couldn't have been fabricated by humans looking for power and control and a way to blame things on stuff other than themselves?

She didn’t have it on in her passport photo. She could’ve theoretically used it to hide something under there, which is why they asked her to take it off. And yes, national security and possibly preventing an intended attack are objectively more important than her beliefs.
There’s nothing wrong about it. She literally overreacted for no reason and could’ve asked for a female security guard and a private room so her “beliefs” are respected.
Understandable and I respect others religion but I've also been seeing more and more disrespect to my own religion, so?? I have to respect others religion but everyone can shit on mine? How does that make sense
@@ogreeni "Islamic nonsense?" Really? She wasn't even complaining about how they asked her to take it off. She said that she wishes she had asked for a private room.

Ok this comment section did not pass the vibe check. She’s not complaining, and she literally didn’t cause any trouble in the airport. She’s talking about it now, and how she felt about it. She wears her hijab for her religion, and it’s a very big deal for people who do wear hijabs to have to take them off for any random person. I’m not even religious and I understand.
Same here! i'm surprised by the amount of comments that don't understand what was the problem with what she told us, no matter what you believe in, everybody should treat others with respect.
exactly. i saw a comment when they asked to “deal with it” and “grow up”. and that “the national security is more important than your personal beliefs”. like bro. Other people is more important than your comment💀 grow up.
Actually my friend had her hijab pulled off of her at the airport once by a woman and told her that teenagers don’t wear blankets over their heads and she was being silly, she cried and ran away and her mum got security involved❤
It's the fact that none of y'all are hearing that she said "I should have asked for a private room and a female guard" see it's not that she CANT take it off, it's that she can only do so in front of male relatives and women. So she understands that she still had to take it off (because she did) she is just saying that she didn't realize there was an alternative that would still be respectful of her religion. Y'all really need to pay better attention before typing these long a$$ comments that don't even apply anyways.
Yeah but she should have thought that threw before hand, she didn’t check her passport and realize, “oh gosh I am not wearing a hjahb in this photo“ what was she thinking, they are going to let me in anyways,even though it there is a glare in the photo it is not valid.
Mashallah and I hope it goes well for you if they tell you to take it off or anything make sure you ask for a female staff and a private room and ofc I’ll make dua for you I hope it all goes well for you
why are the people in this comment section acting like the hijab is a measly everyday item? or just something that you use to cover your beauty from men? if theres anything i learned in islam its that the hijab has a bigger meaning so for yall to say “oh its not that bad” and “they tell us to take off our shoes and sunglasses” is so disgusting and at this point it’s islamophobic. the hijab is a symbol in islam, your sunglasses are not symbols.
I understand a hijab is a huge part of the Muslim religion but like when it comes to safety reasons you just can’t compare. Some of us aren’t Muslim so a hijab is really just an everyday object that can be used to sneak many things in. The security guy is just doing his job, I’m not targeting anyone but there are many bad people out there.
@@iamimperfectionperfected4 that's insensitive. What about nuns, they don't travel often but when they do they're given seperate rooms automatically? This is islamophobia, don't fucking act like it ain't.
U make me feel better. I was a refugee in an europian country, just passing by. The police arrested me and my Family, the point is...they forced us, the Women, to take Our hijabs off so they can take a pics. It was very insulting and a horrible memory
As a almost 14 year old, Elhamdulillah Allah blessed me with the courage to wear a hijab, since I go to school away from my parents, every 3 weeks I go to the airport for a 3 day visit to my parents, my id is a photo of me unhijabed and I have always been scared of this scenario happening to me, Im so sorry this happened to you, I can imagine the stress you were under ❤️

Not Muslim but that is so disrespectful. They act like it’s as simple as taking off a jacket. You shouldn’t have had to do that. Also, you look lovely 💗 Edit: okay I keep getting replies about the security reasons, and I agree, but they could have at least put her in a private room instead of revealing her to everyone.
It might be disrespectful because they asked her in public, as she said they should've used a private room. But the Security Check had to ask that, she might have faked her identity
Not ignorant, just practical. I guess we all just pause while traveling and hold up the line while a female TSA agent and private room are found? Respecting one's religion is good and honorable, but compared to Christians and Jews Muslims are kind of high-maintenance.
Im Christian but I still fully understand what she's talking about. How horrible this must be I can't even imagine.

Yeah, I'm a pagan I feel the same, while I don't veil some pagans do I can only imagine what it feels like to be made to remove something so deep in your culture and religion infront of strangers.
100% they were proud bc they manage it to let you take it off but may Allah forgive you 💕 you were new and inshAllah allah will forgive you (has alteady forgiven you)
I am not Muslim, but I have always been so intrigued by Islamic culture. I have quite a handful of Muslim friends, and I love talking to them about their culture, it is just so interesting, and such a beautiful culture! ❤
Oh my, all of you acting like she said she didn‘t wanna take of the hijab because she doesn‘t care about the security check. While all she wanted to express was probably that there are more sensitive approaches to such a specific religious concern. I am a hijabi from germany and nobody ever told me to take off my hijab in front of anybody else because people here know a little bit about other religions etc. I was only checked once before an exam in austria and that was done by women in a seperate room because they actually care about the beliefs people have. This woman did nothing wrong and she is not whining about security checks in general she is specifically saying shf should have handled it differently so please try to understand the message before charging on other people. :) Thanks a lot.
Idk why everyone’s being so insensitive. She wasn’t even mad about it. I’m not a hijabi or religious but I understand the significance of wearing one and how it might be uncomfortable to take it off.

As a women living in a Muslim country I understand your point of view and Im glad that you are wearing hijab out of your own personal choices. I have had the opposite experience where I was forced to wear hijab, still am, throughout my whole life without consenting to it and I understand the feeling. Women, life, freedom doesn't stand for not wearing hijab. Its not about wearing it or not wearing it, its about freedom of choice.
I've never worn a hijab because I am in a different religion and I live in illinois. But if I were ever to work somewhere where I had to ask for people to remove their hijab, I would quit immediately.
I'm so annoyed by the fact that people are coming at her telling her it's no big deal given the fact that she's not even complaining in the first place rather just narrating what she went through. Those citing so called security purposes should use their brains to understand that she wasn't asked to take it off because they suspected she was hiding any 'weapons'underneath it rather the fact that she wasn't wearing a hijab on her passport photo nd the officer wanted to confirm that it was indeed the same person. He should've been more respectful nd maybe passed her over to a female officer or taken her to a private room. And if he pulled her aside due to 'national security purposes' I'm pretty sure it woulda been a more complicated process.
Someone coming into the country under a false identity would quite literally be a security risk. It's her own fault for not changing her passport before traveling so that there was never any confusion. And the end whenever she says "it's not easy to be a Muslim women" is complaining. The way you process information is definitely interesting.
@@grantthiessen7552 They really didn’t need to take her hijab off. They can clearly see her face and that’s all you need! What can hair do? It’s NOT about “hiding something in there”.

Not me but a girl back in my high school was forced to take it off (Incase you don't want the full story: this girl had been forced by a teacher to take it off and ended up in tears.) Long story: So there was this girl whom I won't name so let's call her kate she was known by a lot of people and was very popular we had just got a new teacher (let's call him Mr Smith) Mr Smith saw Kate and a few of her friends walking down to lunch because the teacher had let them out early and wasn't happy he accused Kate and her friends of skipping class and Kate knowing she had done nothing wrong spoke up Mr Smith didn't like this so started yelling at her for wearing a "hat" in school (my school wouldn't allow hats but that's a different story) Kate explained that it wasn't a "hat" and that she had it on for religious reasons but Mr Smith wasn't having any of it and continued to yell at her untilled she was to the point of tears eventually Kate gave in and took her "hat off (during this commotion a few of her friends ran off to find the head teacher) and as Kate took her "hat" off the head teacher had walked up on this and told Kate she didn't have to take her hijab off and took the teacher into his office needless to say Mr Smith got fired shortly after but Kate also left the school shortly after. I hope Kate is okay and is having a wonderful life because she was genuinely the kindest and sweetest person I have ever met.
Oh no!! She must have been so traumatized 🥺🥺🥺 that jerky person didn't deserve to be a teacher at all. It's a great thing that he got fired. But seems like she couldn't take the trauma and left.. poor girl🥺 I'm not a hijabi even tho I'm Muslim but I do understand how painful and humiliating it can be😞 I also hope she's fine and have a better life
I can feel your pain. I had shaved off all my hair and was wearing a wig. The reasons why I(f19) at that time, shaved my hair, were not pleasant. But customs asked me to take it off. Then they laughed at me. It was humiliating, degrading, and rude. I understand what I needed to do but two more customs officers came to see and laugh. I was devastated.
Astagfirullah hal azim. I believe no one deserved to be laugh at especially not knowing a person’s story. It’s disrespectful and no one should be treated that way. I hope they’ll realize whaat they did full of repugnance behavior.
For people who are saying "safety is more important" and to "take it off" or "get over it." She literally said that she should've asked for a private room. That's not unreasonable and shows she was willing under that circumstance. The fact that some of you are lowering the value of how much it means to her is disgusting.
Why is she so special? Risk our lives, our Children's for your ridiculous religion? U people don't respect mine, a loving God that commands "THOU SHALT NOT KILL!"
My mom is Muslim and my dad is Christian so when I'm at my dad's I do christian traditions and when I'm at my mom's I do Muslim traditions so I have like my own little religion that conjoins christian and Muslim and I have picked what events I do if they clash or I just smoosh them together and my family members don't care because they understand that I don't want to let either of my parents down but then my church got a new priest and he riped my hijab of and said your worshipping satan if you wear this in here and I broke down in tears crying because he just ripped away the most important thing to me luckily many female relatives surrounded me and protected me from onlookers view but the fact that he had the nerve to do that to someone UGHHHHH!!!
Hello :) I'm working as a security searcher at the airport in heart of Europe. My work is all about following the rules. When I was new there, one muslim woman went through the security check, I fully respected that she didn't want to remove her hijab. I said: "because I can't see what you have under your hijab (all about safety, because I'm a security searcher, I'm mainly looking for banned items) I have to check you including your shoes according to our airport regulations." That woman told me that it's racist. I was shocked honestly. I respected that she was covered, but she didn't respect me and the airport rules without telling me that's racist. I cannot make my own rules otherwise I would lost my job.
In islam a man cannot touch a women the only men that can touch her or see her without hijab are the ones that she can never marry such as father son brother grandfather uncle etc. maybe thats why she thought it is a type of racism to let a man check a women (maybe). You see in islam there is somthing that is always taught to us (give your brother 50 excuses) and also (some of the assumptions are a sin) which means give her excuses for her acts dont make assumption that fast maybe she meant something else but her english is bad maybe she thought she was the only one checked maybe she have been bullied for being a Muslim and have been called my many names, you never know her reasoning so just excuse her..

It’s honestly a little disrespectful that the guard didn’t take you into a private room immediately. I understand safety and all but they should have at least made you comfortable.
But not all people know how the muslim religion works.. she could've said it herself but didnt, she now just said she needed to have a female co worker coming to her or a private room.

You can take your scarf off at checkings if needed. I would do it too. There's nothing wrong with them doing their security checks as long as its done by a female. If it's not a female, make them aware of your religious obligations.
This. It’s a reasonable safety concern. They take fluids over 100mls off of you and metal nail files , I know that’s not the same but the concerns are still there. As long as they’re respectful, it seems like a reasonable request to me.
@@ProfessorSassypants lmao I travel a lot and have never been asked to take it off. It’s not a “safety concern”, our technology is modern enough to be able to check a body without you needing to take off anything. Nowadays only jackets and long boots need to be taken off.
@@viys3261 it’s a safety concern in that you could be literally anyone under a full covering. not necessarily a scarf only covering head however full niqab’s have been used by criminals trying to evade the law. Just as an example.
@@viys3261 even if they don't ask to take the full thing off, them checking your scarf could shift it anyway during their pats etc, you can, to make it easier for them just take it off and put it on again. I wear mine loosely where I know checking takes place. Also women CAN see women, if you think of it from a security purpose only I would cooperate since some people may conceal things (I'm sure it happens just like how people stuff their pants). But they should be respectful too.
Well with what happenes it’s no surprise. They do it for the utmost safety of the passenger. And when your in a hijacked plane you will wish security was stronger.
@@benjaminraymundo6711 i haven't even told my story but you directly assumed they were right, even though i got an official apology from them for the discrimination I've been through.
I dont rlly knw shit all abt whyyyy hijabs are so important. HOWEVER i kne jts religious of some sort and IS IMPORTANT thats abt all i need to kne tht anyone asking them to take it off is an asshole. Unless shes gonna have her damn hijab scarf get caught in some gear and possibly choke or get hurt or interfere with her safety i see no reason to insist. And if it was gonna do anything. Id ask if she can like pin it tighter. Has some sort of way to keep it up closer to her head and not get it loose (like putting hair in a bun) Or at the very least ask ig shed like a lady to help her or to go to a private room or bathroom to change it out for a toghter one or hat or something and she can come back in line. Id even let her get back in after the person im scanning when she comes back (if im allowed) (My idea for danger was from edna mode incredibles abt why capes can be dangerous and not wearing ties on factory floors etc also some of my answer ideas was rhinking of air port security. Amusement park rides. Any kind of area it might get caught or snagged and pose a safety risk to her and to whatever it gets caught in) Anywho tldr i knw its important and id try to be respectful and kind within the rules i need. Id even ask if she wont or doesnt wanna take it off maybe i could do a pat down? Or have a lady do a pat down. Gently touching it or so to feel any plastics or etc and such. Like pattinf down legs Still kinda violating but if my rules say i gotta check i cna do so nicer. Id be able to FEEEL plastics or other stuff hidden under there after all. And jd tey not to muss up her hair and see if another guard could escort her to a bathroom if its to loose after so she can hold in place and the guard could help with bags. Like theres options. Theres MANY OPTIONS. LIKE COME ON. :/ i dont liiike the idea of the last one but jf they HAD to check they could have at least a lady guard. I hope the guy wasnt to imposing or scary looking also (beyond the axiety of making someone take off their hijab) Like j came up with all of these ideas in less then 5 or so minutes and this guy couldnt think of ANYTHING NOTHING OTHER THEN FORCE THE LADY TO BASICALLY TAKE HER PANTS PR RELIGIOUS OR COMFORT ITEM OFF IN PUBLIC. AND ETC? thts also a process to put back on. Its a quickish pro ess but she also had to put it back onn in line or go over just to the side or possibly walk around qith the......wig cap? Or their hair just OUT... which has to be MOREEE uncomfy. Orrrr be harassed by ppl in line who even if they do care may get mad qt her or the guards xuz now she has to take longer to get throo to put her hijab back on or suffer bring unconvered even longer Like omg. Its rude. I dont need to knw shit to knw its rude and to TRY to find a compromise. Just ugh
Hahaha, But If You want To Find It Just Change To "Newest" And You'll Find Islamophobic People's Commented. I got triggered everytime I read some people WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT A HIJAB IS.
This happened to me as well when I was a new hijabi traveling to france alone, I was so shaky and already imagined all the bad thing before the security checks. I really don't know why I just didn't stood up for myself and just asked for a female guard. I was so close to a brake down and cry... But now I'm so so stronger now and always talk and stand for myself and other hijabis. I guess I had to go through it... I change my ID photo month after it. The 2,5 years of being a hijabi put me in alot of trouble, hate speech, discrimination and so on but I'm as a women feeling so much stronger and confident.
@@Talibland Islaam don't have such rules.. Islaam don't allow subjugation and also muslims long ago used to buy slaves to free them.. Those who did have, well they were to take care of their slaves.. not torturing them and all. The slave have food, commodities medical assistance and many more in return
@@sadiabegum6976 yes, mums aren't allowed to take participation in class trips of their children if they wear hijab, girls aren't allowed in schools. So messed up
@@Moon7child That's because in France, those schools are secular school. We can't wear neither hijab nor kippa or crucifix. But we can wear them everywhere else.
Aww I’m so so sorry you had to experience this 💔 It’s definitely really, really hard to be a Muslim woman in todays world, In Sha Allah God makes it easier for you
The people here are annoying like “I had to remove my shoes. Your point?” Or “Um, our national safety is more important than your personal beliefs. You’ll be fine.” She’s not even complaining she’s explaining how she felt about the situation and how this all was a completely new experience for her.
She’s not just explaining, she’s playing victim. My Islamic belief is being compromised 😫 National security matters because of what happened 21 years ago from the same peaceful community.
Fam, wait till it’s your country that has terrorist cells. AND YES MY country is an Islamic country. We are still trying to root it out bc we didn’t have strict protocol and for a country with zero gun policy we are starting to see local shootings from guns that have been smuggled in from ferries and UNCHECKED “passengers”. People living in privilege wouldn’t understand 🤷🏼♀️
Why is it a toxic mindset? People have literally been opening up about literally being psychical assaulted, sorry being asked to take off a head wrap isn’t that traumatic, when you think of people who literally have been sexually violated. I’d be hecca embarrassed if I was op, just fucking saying. Eww.
I don't get why people tear people down why can't we just respect musilins cause they aren't all monsters or terrorists, at the end of the day they are human you can't stand in when you were born to stand out
"Suck it up, your personal beliefs don't matter as much as our safety" So you're telling me if airport security rocked up to you and told you to strip completely butt naked you'd just do it, no questions asked, because its for everyone else's "safety"? I find that very hard to believe.
Yup, it's like taking off the cross from the top of the church and saying "people's safety during a storm is more important than your religious beliefs". Christians would be absolutely furious if someone did that
Im not muslim but one of my closest friends is and we’ve encountered some people who have tried to force her to take her hijab off because “She could use it for stealing purposes” as they would say, and it always makes me so sad how uncomfortable she looks whenever someone asks her this. I make sure we can get away from them, but I always wish I could do more than just comfort her. I wish it really didn’t have to be this way for her, because religion doesn’t change a person the person changes themselves, and she is one of the most sweetest, kindest person I’ve meet, and i’m so glad to call her my friend. So please stop this nonsense, it ruins this world.
Thank you very much for understanding female muslims❤️ btw i actually have a suggestion for your friend if she is forced to not wearing her hijab. I always replace my hijab with hoodies and use the inner to make sure nobody can see my aurat😊 I'm glad if it helps her so much
Bruh, if that was the case no shops would work in Muslim countries.I live in Egypt and it would be very obvious if I put something in my hijab. This is plainly dumb.
Unfortunately there are people who abuse this and especially going through the airport due to what happened in the past. You can absolutely ask for a private room but you can’t be mad about them asking you…it’s the law going through airports
I haven’t Been asked to remove my Hijab since I’m younger and I don’t get forced to wear it, But when I was getting out of my house I put on my hijab and Then my new neighbor says “What are you hiding under there.” And I said: “My hair…?” And I carried on with my day, but someone was suspicious of me with it
The neighbours thought maybe she was hiding a chicken , two cows and a gun under there So useless , sometimes I wonder does these people dont have any work ??
@@nyxiethepixie honestly with how cat anatomy works I wouldn’t be surprised if a cat could fit under a hijab, their made out of fuckin liquid I tell you
Coming from an atheist, thats makes my heart hurt so much. My sister is Muslim and goes through things like this everyday. The world should just push religion,race,sexuality all to the side and get along like normal humans. All these humans yet no humanity 😕
Ppl that are atheists like you get called apostates and face capital punishment. You have sympathy for them but they don't have for you. Have you ever lived in a sharia country?
I get you, I'm arab I come from a Muslim family but I'm not religious and it hurts to see people from my school even my friends having their hijabs pulled or even ripped by bullies, it literally doesn't make sense, and they say that this kind of racism doesn't happen in a multicultural city such as London but unfortunately it does and its so upsetting
I personally don't like people who don't respect people, their religion and their kind of dressing (with religious clothes or not). I'm not a religious person, I don't even have a religion but one of my friends is muslim and my other friends are christs and I would go rly mad if I see anyone disrespect my friends because of their religion (and other reasons ofcourse) Btw sry if I sounded not rly believeable or rude. I also apologize for bad grammar (I'm german ;-;)
Any religion that disrespects, degrades, lowers to second-class, AND declares that half of the world population is just property and must be made to wear shackles of their slave-status.... ARENT DESERVING TO BE THE TOILET PAPER THAT WIPES MY DOG'S ARSE!! There is no religion that deserves respect. Not until they can prove that their holy book isn't simply nonsensical ramblings by bronze-aged primitives.
@@Muffinswithtea There should be more people like you ^^ First wanting to kniw about different cultures before doing something that could be disrespecting a culture or person
my mom asked me once "what do you do when yo see a bully taking someone's hijab?" i replied with "punch the person who took her hijab" she said "no. help them. cover them and help them" ever since then, i've been keeping my eye out to make sure muslims arent being exposed in such a way.
I lived through post-9/11 America, I've lived among an alongside many cultures and faiths, and never _once_ have I seen or heard a first-hand account of someone taking off a woman's hijab without her consent. I've even seen a woman in full burka with a stroller be guided around the TSA checkpoint entirely (not even through the metal detector because of the width of the stroller) to wait for her husband to finish the regular TSA check at an airport in the American South. *It is good to desire to do the right thing to or for someone who is wronged. But it is even better when we can celebrate the scarcity of the wrongs in the first place.* _This is, of course, not to negate the advice of the woman in the video, merely to illustrate a voluntary kindness extended in a somewhat unlikely venue._
I’m sorry you had to go through that, and I can say I understand but I can understand how that would probably make you feel gutted. And I just wanna say, your really pretty 😊
I think for any of us, when we go to other countries… We cannot go with the mindset that things will be the way we are used to or how we think they should be. Cultural shock is a very real thing. Make sure you check out what the customs/laws/rules are in any country you travel to beforehand, so you can decide if it’s worth and/or if you can put a plan of compliance in place that will work for you.
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I am sorry the world treat you differently because they don’t understand, and I am sorry we haven’t learned more. Thank you for sharing your story ♥️
No they understood there was no reason for it because be honest how often do you change your hairstyle and or color or the rest of the populace especially the females her face was clearly visible so there was no reason other than being a jerk
@@DonDracula so if a police officer ask to do a cavity search of you in the middle of the street, that wouldn’t make you uncomfortable? Are you often met with authority figures not taking you seriously? Have you ever experienced fear of what can happen if you stand up for yourself to an authority figure? Have you ever have your rights taken away because they didn’t seem valid to the person in charge? Because if you haven’t, you don’t get to dictate what others do in that situation.
Lisa taking it of isn't at all like having a hand shoved up your anus on a busy street and miles is right it's her fault because she was too scared to say anything and it's for identity purposes to know it's her and if the workers don't follow the rules they will be fired with no money. Another thing I've just realised is it wouldn't be embarrassing to take it off cos we all show her hair
As a hairstylist…some years ago I worked at a salon where there were no private areas to cut someone’s hair who was wearing a hijab. There were men in the salon too, and my client told me she could not remove it for religious reasons. We had a training center in the back room that had mirrors and chairs, so I took my client back there and cut her hair. She was so grateful, and I was happy to do that for her. When my boss came in, I told her what I did…if I had not told her, other stylists would have told her, also, I thought it was a great solution. I caught a lot of grief for doing it, and was told I could never do that again. I thought that made no sense, and I was happy that I did it. It caused no harm, so I thought “why not”. I don’t understand why I could not accommodate a client, but was told to never do it again. Hearing what you went through reminded me of this, so I wanted to share with you…because it was another instance of making an issue for no good reason. I am sorry you went through that, that was awful. People need to learn how to properly respect each other. As a side note…I love wearing scarves just for style, and I think your hijab looks very pretty…stay strong and take care ❤️
I cried just reading this. A bridesmaid, my close friend since high school, started to wear to hijab. The well-known, reputable Chicago salon that I booked for the entire bridal party were jerks to accommodate a private area for her doing her getting her hair cut & colored. So I l left no other choice but to tell them that I was going to cancel my hair and makeup services for the 17 women, because the disrespected just one ☝🏼. It also helped that one master stylists threatened to give her two weeks notice if we didn’t accommodate or get refunded the 20% down payment. Needless to say, they made it work. So, kudos to people like you that think on their feet, respect and care about the service they provide! 🙌🏼 Best wishes in your career & life! 😊
@@back2basic374 Thank you, and kudos to you too for speaking up and standing up to a bad situation. I will never understand why people act this way. It is so hurtful and wrong for no reason at all. I wish the very best for you! ❤️
I'm not Muslim but I feel how uncomfortable that could make someone. Don't ever let yourself think that it is out of reach for asking for a private room. Its your right. And I can't believe people don't think or care about peoples thoughts and feelings!
I worked as security in an airport in Australia. We didn’t ask people to remove religious headdress at all, but we still had to screen them, so normal machines like walk through metal detector and all that. If they did go off and it was in the head area we would have to use our hands to screen the area by touch, as well as hand held metal detector (wanding) to clear the Area. We always tried very hard to be respectful of that stuff as a company
Not every airport has the machines and the workers necessary to screen every person with a veil, and there's no way to know if they are wearing it for religion or with other intention.
when i'm waiting in line for taking my id picture, the staff asked the muslim woman to take her hijab off. she was clearly uncomfortable but she instantly asked for a female staff and asked people near her (me too) look away for a second.
Well, she's lucky to meet polite people who are open minded. If not, some will be like "you are a Muslim not me, so do your Muslim thing you will not force us to look away" in my own country ( and my tribe being among the 3 major languages many things happen which make me think I'm not safe even in my own country.
No religion doesn't exempt you from rules, you can ask for a female or a private screening but you don't get to refuse because you believe a fairy tale
I am an Indigenous woman and was involved in a serious car accident. I was in the hospital for a whole month. After the first few days my mom asked about washing my hair. The employees that washed my thick long hair with blood and glass still in it and complained the whole time. I felt ashamed and even more like a burden, because I was very independent and if I could have done it I would have. The lady told me I should cut my hair! When I sobbingly told my dad the next day, (who proudly wears traditional braids) told me she was stupid and "your hair is strength" . That was twenty years ago and crying again as I write this. I am surprised how much emotion that particular memory still affects me!
People have their own opinions to it. I’m not agreeing with anything, I understand how she isn’t complaining about having to take her hijab off. But it’s also reasonable for them to ask for her to take it off. Since threats and smuggling reasons. And she even explained how she could’ve avoided the anxiety. This is a comment section and people will have their different opinions they want to share.
Ignore all the disgusting islamaphobia in the comments sis - we cannot expect those to learn who close their minds. I made sure my passport photo was in hijab so definitely do that and also request a private room next time if you are asked to remove it ♥️ Also I love this wrapping - I’m going to try it next time I go out!
Thank you so much for your kind words and valuable advice sis! You’re a gem! Mashallah and you’re so right! I got no time or energy for islamophobes 🤭 they may continue embarrassing themselves in the comments for all I care and help the video reach people who need to see it! Inshallah
@@VeronikaEdali yes!! some people are saying that they take off their shoes at the airport and they don’t complain but the just utter stupidness of that is crazy because correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure wearing shoes isn’t part of their religion
The islamophobes commenting things is not okay it actually made me start to cry. I am not a Muslim woman but I still respect everyone’s beliefs and religions and I can’t believe people are saying “ just grow up”. I wish you the best of days ❤️ much love ❤️❤️
