Hijab:The Muslim Woman's 'Invisibility Cloak'

Why Ditch Your Feminism, Freedom and Fun for a Hijab that Makes You Invisible and Demeans your Femininity? Watch this video which takes the discussion all the way to Turkey and back.

Jobeda Ali, a British Muslim begins her debate here in the UK. She defines herself as a British Secular Muslim Proffessional and cannot not understand why any British Woman who has a Western freedom like her would want to undermine and demean herself by wearing the hijab.

She embarks on a journey to unwrap the liberal western tolerance of the hijab and discover the degree to which women in the Muslim world are prepared to rebel against the hijab.

Do women in Turkey defend the hijab as passionately as their western counterparts?

How do you feel about the hijab, Is it a trend, social custom or worn for more spiritual reasons?

Muslim Women who have their civil liberties and rights intact here in Britain are arguing for the hijab..I wonder if they would have the same sentiments if they were in say Iran or under Taliban rule?
