The headscarf and the practical reality


-The woman should have a free will about it

-The woman should be able to choose when and where to wear it, if she doesn't choose so, she doesn't have to

-The woman can choose to wear it for other reasons than religious

-The woman can choose to wear it as a scarf in winter, and none in summer

-The woman can choose to wear a hoody or hat or cap and this doesn't make her less of a believer in any way, shape or form

-The woman and the headscarf is not the symbol of religion, it used to be, but nowadays it is mostly a fashion statement

-To understand the headscarf is to look at the true intentions and the true meaning behind it

-To choose not to wear it doesn't make you less of a believer and is not supposed to look down upon, not by men not by women from any muslim religion

-To decide and wear it or not wear it by occasion is something that totally fits in a multicultural society, and doesn't make you "shaky in your religion" as some people might believe, think or make others believe.

-Headscarf IS and WAS a symbol of suppression, it has to do with safety by it's origin.

-The reality is: you want to look nice as a woman, you want to be admired for brains and beauty, and you want to be able to take it off in summer times, and you want to wear a scarf when it is cold. This is the integrated society feeling.

-Taking off your headscarf doesn't make you less of a believer, especially because you KNOW that the Muslim Guy walks around in shorts, without a beard nowadays and doesn't have his cap on all the time either. Not in the Middle East and especially not in the Western Society.

-Wearing a headscarf and at the same time talking/flirting with men does give across mixed signals, unless seriously considering a long term relationship, but intentions should be clear at forehand.

-Cross cultural connecting should be possible with and without headscarf.
