It is strange why these people asked you if you were christian. I guess they just did not want to take things for granted and assume that you were muslim. Or maybe they have visited other countries were the christian people also wore hijab. Most North African countries were the hijabs even if they are not muslims. It is just their dress code which is very traditional and it is very similar to our hijabs. LOL Here in South Africa you can certainly tell the difference between the christians and the muslims. Even when some of the muslims try to hide their identity by wearing western clothing you can some how tell if they are muslim or not. Strange but true.
