Assalamu alaikum sis I!
Oh sis, those girls where not very nice to you, they tested your patience quite a bit, inshaAllah you did good [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img] .
Many non-Muslims do not and can not truly UNDERSTAND what the hijab means to us. No matter how you explain, they just don't get it. I try to give them another way of thinking in this. IF you had to go outside your house WITHOUT your blouse or t-shirt ( [img]style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img] ) on, HOW would you feel? (to women of course) Just imagine try to find the FEELING that you would take with you. Well that is the same way I would feel going outside without my hijab. The same FEELING.
Well it is difficult sometimes to understand one another, but if we do not try, then also a lot of misinterpretations will flow around. SABR is the best concept inshaAllah.
Wasalam umm Z
