Some Muslim women feel attempts to normalise the hijab in the spirit of inclusion undermines its sacred specialness.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-39743960 …

Which does really underscore the element of identity & virtue signalling often in hijab. After all, God will still know what it means to you
-
Its also very important that other ppl know what it means, tho, & if its progressiveness & fashion, some will be dischuffed & remove it.
-
Obv, I think anything which undermines gender-specific ideas of modesty is a positive step so am now conflicted on normalising it.
-
Never thought that saying to random Hijabis "love your hijab, very edgy" might be a way to bring about its demise. Brilliant.

I don't think conservative muslims would take off the hijab for that reason, because the reason they chose to take the hijab remains.
-
Well, that was the reason Khadija Ahmed gives in the piece. It had become commercialized & lost sacredness.
-
Some conservatives will definitely have those issues but won't take off the hijab I think, they can always go the plain, non-brand route.
-
Some progressives are just very anti-comercialism & anti big business & I think she's describing these people.
-
Ah, maybe.
