U.S. Muslim Women View The Hijab Is Not A Conservative But It's A Creative

Hijab by western societies is seen as a symbol of old-fashioned or conservative. However, the Muslim Community of Michigan has another view. Political science expert and former special blogger fashion hijab, Imaan Ali, wearing a headscarf is not a question assessing the conservative or not. But how can a woman promoting the values ​​of decency and self carriage.

Middle East expert Mohammad Alhawry argue that the veil is a way that enables individuals, mainly women, to participate actively in society and maintain the separation of public and private space. "You see now on social networks like Facebook and other places as there is no separation," his said. That situation raises a problem with self, friends, and coworkers because of disobedience to the separation of private and public life.

For thousands of years, the veil has been dikreasikan in the form of tailored clothing with the latest trends without breaking the rules set Qur'an. Ali's example, he used the hijab since the age of 20 years. In a relatively young age, she considered a fashion enthusiast. With extensive knowledge about fashion, Ali did not want to miss the trend without having to abandon his faith to wear the hijab. "You can modify a variety of trends over the veil and make what you wear. Use your imagination, "her said. Ali said the style of hijab vary widely in all Muslim countries.

Generally, women in the Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait) likes to wear a long black dress and completely closed. While women in Egypt and the Levant (including parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Territories) are more colorful hijab and expose their faces. "You easily guess the country of origin based on the hijab," Ali's said,

Alhawary see Turkey is a country with considerable influence on the trend of the veil. He considered the secularization of Turkey resulted in maintaining the country's women's headscarves with creativity. "During the first seven years I wore the hijab. There is such lack of connect between clothes with my hijab, "said President of the Association of Islamic Students Eman Abdelhadi. Abdelhadi been wearing hijab since she was nine years old. She is observer of colorful silk scarf. "I tend to wear the colors are more solid," her said. Thanks to his creation that, Abdelhadi a concern. But he was not bothered by it. "There's a different feeling and seemed to be supervised," her said.

Both Ali and Alhawary had a bad experience. While in Norway, Ali had difficulty finding jobs at home because he was wearing a hijab. Alhawary opinion is important to separate the religious basis of the veil from its cultural context and religious practices. "It is necessary to understand the western countries," his said.

Despite the veil has the potential to be misinterpreted, and Abdelhadi Ali proud to wear the hijab with the terms and belief in the positive. "I really consider myself a Muslim feminist in the street, because I believe in the power of women," Ali's said..
