Thanks for uploading the video.
I've never witnessed any discrimination against Muslims where I Live (OC, California). I see many sisters in hijab near my work (it's a popular place for young crowds to hang out at).
I suppose California is more diverse and people are more open minded here.

Very true.Sisters don't feel bad for what them fools do. It's because you're not naked to them, that's why their upset. Man the typical American perber.

Jazakallah khair,
If I was in shock after she said that, I would've been like for her to go lose wieght. But hey, scince I go around (I've had the intention and WANTED to, but hey, you can't a;ways "live your own life" *sight*) wearing my Islamic clothes and stuff (my pants, my long thobe, my Kufi), and I'm alraedy like this, I'm real easy on people. Muhammad (SAW) even said that if people say soemthing about how you practice Islam, then to not take it personally (meaning don't start an argument about it), so you did the right thing sister.Assalamualaikum
Indeed, they think that we are forced to dress the way we do by our fathers, brothers and husbands. I have talked to many young non Muslim girls my age, and they didnt have a view of thier own. They were completely blinded by the media. They ask silly questions like "Oh, do you wear that in bed?". Until, we finally had a long talk, everything seemed a bit normal.
The other day at the shops, I was pushing my trolley and an oversized lady came in my way. She wasnt really watching, and so she sort of had to stop in her tracks. At the sight of my abaya and scarf, she uttered nice and loud.. F*@#!N ARAB! I was in shock for a while. I completely lost track of what I was buying. When I came back to my senses, I told my sister and she was upset at the fact that I remained quiet. But thats me, I would not have sworn back..never ever.
Whats more funnier, I am not even Arab. (Sigh)
Sister Palestine, May Allah reward you for your efforts. Jazak Allah Khair for sharing. Aameen.
Assalamualaikum
