ASAK,
I have not much knowledge abt these people (Hijabi or Non-hijabi or anything else). that is the reason i posted so that someone more knowledgable could post some important things abt these.

It took me surprise as well when i saw the news headline, it is osmthing different and very random. ALLAH knows the best.
