he is from Saudi Arabia and he is Muslim. I have been reading up on
the Muslim religion and I think when women wear hijaab that its to
keep other men away from temptation. Its stated " women should cover
the specified areas of their bodies which may arouse sexual desire in
others (see Qur'an {7:26;} 33:59). I also found that indeed, many
Muslim women consider the head scarf a form of feminist expression,
because it forces people to judge them by their character rather than
their looks.
This is true I have had many Muslim women as friends, anyways back to
my point, my boyfriend has brought it up a couple times that he would
like me to convert to Muslim. The religion is not too much different
from my Christian religion and I think possibly converting and wearing
hijaab is a great idea. Now converting would be my choice but would
other Muslim people judge me for wearing hijaab or thinkI am mocking
them? The other issue is my family they like my boyfriend butdo not
want me to cover, they do not believe in it soI want to wear it but
not around them. Could I wearhijab and just not wear it when with
them?(I do notsee them that much). or would that be bad and against
religious or cultural beliefs of Muslims?
Renee.
