Quote: Hello,
My name is Djana. I am a muslim from Bosnia Herzgovina. I don't understand why all you women ruin your appearance with such things as hijaab and robe. Why? It seems that only the die hard muslims do this like in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and so on.
European muslims are different. There is not pressure for us to do this here. Do you women feel pressured to cover up? Do you even have a choice? Is Bosnia or Serbia or Turkey, we are proud of our religion but we are modern in our dress too. When I visit the rest of Europe and I tell them I am a muslim, they judge me. If all muslims were understanding like the one in Europe our religion would have such a better repuation.
Thanks,
Djana
you look pressured and opressed to me sister ..
by the society you live in .. media tv .. and your own family ..
i cover up fully head to toe and no one forced me into it fyi .. ..
just so you know .. there is a hadith that explains clearly that whoever disobeys the prophet isnt a muslim .. its written in the quran too .. i dono why you get caught up in the european muslim or saudi muslim problem .. the answer's in front of you in quran and sunnah ..
