Modern attitudes:
There is a trend among some Muslims to avoid adhering to the Islamic dress-code as they find it hard to stick to it in a modern Western country. They feel strange and do not like the unfriendly and even abusive comments that they may sometimes encounter. They understand that in a more tolerant society, they would be accepted as normal practising Muslims. Other Muslims, males and females, decide that regardless of the occasional Islamophobic attitudes, they will not allow the practice of their faith to be compromised, and their love of Allah and love of adherence to his laws outweighs any hardship they face from a minority of unfriendly and Islamophobic people in society. There is yet another group who believe that the hijāb and the Islamic dress code is outdated and not fit for our times, and regardless of the Quranic and Prophetic law obligating it, Muslims must abandon these ancient religious practices – and some go as far as to say that the hijāb should be banned altogether. Practicing Muslims find this attitude scary because it seeks to stop them from the practicing their religion freely, to alienate them, and their religion. They ask: Would they call for a ban on nuns and women of the church from their ‘habits’ and coverings that resemble very closely the hijāb of the Muslim women? Evidence shows that the vast majority of Muslim women choose to wear the hijāb and are not at all forced. They also ask that society respects their decision to choose their own way of life.
