Mary in the christain faith wore a scarf like this and people long ago in general like I’m Irish and the Irish use to wear the veil it’s the same thing . In the muslim faith it is teached for a woman to wear a hijab but it’s up to her if she wears or not no man will make her I’m telling you forcing in islam is oppression and allah speaks numerous times about oppression being wrong he also speaks about treating women well and if your to treat a woman wrong then you will be punished in the afterlife . As my mum always said if someone tells you something and says it in the most hateful brutal way that person is going to rebel Imagine your mother or father let’s say telling you your not to go out to the nightclub tonight and your shouting roaring and name calling that child there’s going to be war but if they say hunny don’t go out I want you to stay safe then things will be ok so stop name calling and saying hateful things in the comment section your only causing division be nice to the people and tell them your opinions

You utterly disgusts me. Slandering religion to cause division makes me sick. Just to let you know. The Jewish community wouldn’t appreciate your comment because it suggests descrimination against other religion like the nazis did.

More accurate to say long dresses than hijab as some models had no head covering. Certainly a welcome improvement. Look forward to proper hijab in due time.
