There has been some cases where women who wear hijabs have been mistreated or interrogated. \u201c I sometimes feel uncomfortable when I\u2019m being looked at or stared down just for having something on my head.\u201d added Tabarek. Women choose to wear hijabs for various reasons, not only the religious ones. \u201cI am proud to wear a hijab because I get to show respect for myself and modesty to my religion.\u201d\u00a0she concluded.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1426 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1-194x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1-768x1190.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1-661x1024.jpg 661w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1-280x434.jpg 280w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1-660x1022.jpg 660w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/01\/FullSizeRender-6-1.jpg 1291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Muslim women that do not wear a hijab feel as if they are not as much judged as women who do. \u201cWhen I walk around in different places, I don\u2019t often get stared at.\u201d Says Nour Mansour. Not wearing a hijab is fine in Islam. The required age of wearing a hijab is 9 years old in Islam, but some say they are not ready and that is respected, \u201cI often feel disappointed when I see a Muslim woman who is being stared down for wearing a hijab.
