I love wearing a hijab.  I feel very beautiful. Even though my spiritual practice is that of the Hindu faith, not Islam, wearing a hijab just makes me feel more beautiful and unique. The sad part is when I get “Angry” stares from those who are ignorant. But I don’t get offended, they don’t know me, and they cannot bring me down. And even when I do get stares, I feel strong and empowered. I don’t wear a veil because I am told to, I wear it because I choose to.
