Perhaps the title is slightly aggressive. But whilst I’ve had some wonderful experiences on this website, the bad unfortunately weighs out the good. Instead of simply enjoying posts, I’ve had to spend my time convincing everyone that I’m not oppressed simply because I choose to wear a hijab. I wish we could all just spend time looking at cute dog pictures together, but alas.
So I’ve decided. If anyone has any questions at all, please, I invite you to ask them here. I will do my very best to answer as a hijab-wearing woman (teenager, really). I’m not a qualified scholar of my faith, so I’ll only answer if I know for certain. If not, I’ll direct you to accurate resources that can explain it better than me. I’m also not trying to preach my religion to anyone - I just want everyone to understand better, for the sake of the Muslims in your individual communities. Some comments I’ve seen on here make me hope that the writer is not living near me, or other Muslims, or actually anyone at all. :(
I don’t mind any sort of questions but I certainly won’t tolerate hate speech, and I’m sure my fellow pandas won’t either; you’ll most likely be downvoted into oblivion. So keep the negativity away please! Thank you :)
Maybe no one will ask questions, but i tried.

Actually I have a , probably random, question and request.... I am very interested in a muslim's view on this...
If you're not familiar with the band, please look on u tube at a band from Indonesia called " Voice of Baceprot"..
They're an all girl heavy rock band, all devout muslims..... I find them quite revolutionary, but I've always wondered how they sit with other muslims? ( I suggest the song " God( please) allow me to play music ")
( And don't worry about hate speech, if I find any on this post, I for one , will come down on them like a ton of bricks!!! I have zero tolerance for that kind of stuff!!!)

As-salamu alaikum! Fellow Muslim here. I know recently Islam has come under scrutiny from whatever the government of Iran has done. I think it would be worth talking about, especially from your perspective of a Muslim hijabi woman, of the situation.
I will say that Iran’s government is in the wrong, that they have violated a woman’s, a human’s right to make their own choice about their religion. A key point of Islam is that people come to it by choice, and only an Islamic state that tends to each of its divinely ordained responsibilities has the right to enforce religious conformation , something that Iran is very far from, or any self-proclaimed “Islamic state” in the world today for that matter.

Hi! ( Salam Alaikum) I studied Islam for about 2 1/2 years out of curiosity. Just want to send my regards to you for putting up with all of the hate speech on bp because i barely do (even as a nonmuslim). I just have one question.
What (in your opinion/experience)is the most accurate translation of the Quran?
I know since that there are about 2 billion Muslims speaking many different languages that things can get misinterpreted/ mistranslated, and that there are many translations of the Quran (i also know from personal experience).
