May Allah forgive me for my mistakes. Ameen.
I am absolutely disgusted. I don't even have the right words to describe the way I'm feeling towards this particular Hijabee right here.
I feel insulted. So insulted that I could saliva vomit on her face if she was right in front of me.
The question is, has anyone tried to stop her or at least tried knocking some sense into her?
This is not all. Today, I saw a picture on Tumblr of 2 hijabees who were going to french each other. I can be quite opinionated but I try to keep the respect present at all times. I don't have issues with homosexuals in general but Islam clearly forbids homosexuality. No buts, not maybes. It's forbidden in the deen.
I don't even know what to say anymore.
May Allah swt protect us from the Haram and keep us on His righteous path!

Ameen!
I really wanna know what she was thinking when she left her house that day....just wowww.
Amal - I KNOW RIGHT. Just what in the blooming world was she thinking?!
Where's the love, the kindness, the caring for other people? All I see hear is judgement.
I'm sure "saliva vomit on her face" is not going to make her want to change.
Women should have the right to wear niqab or hijab if they want, they should have the right to wear mini skirts if that's their choice. And if they want to mix the two, that's also their choice.
Neither you, nor I know this girl. We've got no right to judge. Only Allah has that right.
Becky, for sure everyone has the right to be veiled or not. That is her truly her personal standing and her choice ultimately to carry out her responsibilities to Allah swt. But what she's doing is tarnishing the image of women who are wearing the veil with pride for the sake of Allah swt. If she wishes to wear the skimpiest of clothes, she has all the right to but wearing a veil over all of that, I don't think so. I think it's insulting and abusive to the Hijab on it's own.
I pardon my harsh words and you're right, that we do not have the right to judge. May Allah forgive me for that. Ameen.
I do agree with you, that she's not exactly a stellar picture for what a hijabi should be (and generally I have a problem with so many young hijabis who wear clothes so tight it looks as if it was painted on, I choose not to wear hijab, but am very focused on wearing loose-fitting modest clothes, because I personally believe that's more important than a scarf).
However, though I don't approve of what she's doing, I don't think it's right, and I can definitely see and understand why it could be seen as insulting, that's the world we live in. We want people to accept and respect our right to wear what we want, then we have to give that accept and respect back. Even if we don't agree with what they're doing, even if it offends us.
To a lot of Europeans women wearing hijab, or even more so niqab, it's offensive. Very often the reason for wearing hijab is mentioned as being "to protect from Western men's lust" - how offensive is that? I've had male friends, who've been extremely saddened at this notion, that if a woman didn't wear hijab they'd objectify her or jump right on her.
Does that mean a woman shouldn't have the right to wear hijab in the West? No! But we need to understand, that other people can see something as offensive, but we need to still respect, and try to understand that choice.
Incidentally, I live in Denmark, the few times I have received sexually harassing comments, it has always been when I've been dressed modestly (though not wearing hijab), and it has, sadly, almost always been from young men of Middle Eastern/Arab/Pakistani origin. THAT makes me really sad.
I genuinely respect you for your efforts of wearing loose clothing even without the head scarf. May Allah reward you for that. Ameen.
& I truly understand what you mean when you say that you have a problem with Hijabees who wear outfits so fitting they look like the clothes were painted on. I have the exact same problem.
Though so I have to say that I don't think the reason for wearing the Hijab should be "to protect from Western men's lust". The hijab clearly is a symbol of utter modesty in Islam. It's an individual identity for a Muslim woman. & I am quite saddened to hear the fact that the reasons to wearing the Hijab has been channelled to wanting to protect women from Western men because like what you have mentioned, you get teased by men of other origins as well.
I agree with you completely that hijab shouldn't be to protect women from Western men (or Muslim men), but sadly, that's often how it's promoted. At least here in Denmark where I'm from. I'm currently partaking in a discussion on a Danish blog about this, where a guy (why is it always the guys who are busy telling women what to wear? Sorry), states the reason for wearing hijab, though he does mention to do it for Allah, and the importance of modest behaviour etc., the majority of the post is devoted to how bad the Western morale is, and how the only way to "protect our women from the Western men's lustful gaze" is by having them wear hijab. It stirred up some feelings amongst Danish male commenters as well, who were insulted at the insinuation that they were objectifying women and would basically rape them if they didn't wear hijab.
I think it's a really big problem, that hijab gets glorified as a way to prevent all sexual harassment, when clearly it doesn't work that way. In Egypt 83% of Egyptian women and 98% of foreign women have been sexually harassed, 72% of them were wearing hijab at the time.
I think if we choose to wear hijab, it should be in obedience to Allah, and as a sign of our commitment to Him.
since i don't know them personally I will just assume its a fake picture same for the flickr one.
Becky, I second that. If we choose to wear the hijab, it should be in obedience to Allah and as a sign of our commitment to Him. *high 5*
Tuttie - It's a real pic sis, my friend caught it :/
Salam alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu,
I understand your point it's very very very important to talk about the proper Islamic hijaab and share the knowledge, but you still might wanna consider removing this picture inshaAllah. There's no need to post a picture of a half naked female body saying "that's not hijab" because then we're guilty of spreading fitna by posting pictures of half naked women on tumblr, facebook, twitter or our blogs etc. Since the picture is available for anyone to see, a man might look at the picture and the woman's awrah is not covered. And maybe the sister has repented to Allah, maybe the sister made tawbah and started to wear proper hijab and doesn't want this old picture to be published, Allahu Alam.
It's dangerous to post such pictures spreading corruption among the Muslims, you know there might be brothers looking at it. So you might end up being held accountable for spreading fitna by posting the picture on your blog. Sisters be careful, write a post about the requirements of proper hijab - give examples but don't post pictures of naked women.
Jazakum Allah khairan!
Subhanallah, what is the world coming to? May Allah guide them both
Astagfirullah :(
Wow, hope that's a fake picture.
A lot of ugly judging going on here.
respected sister, you shd remove that picture as the woman's awrah is not covered. You would just be propogating the evil that she has committed.
