A message from The Actress “Newsha Modabber” At the time of removing the hijab

With incidences of visibly Muslim women being pushed onto train tracks, and threats made on the Muslim community, such as “Punish a Muslim Day”, wearing the hijab can at times make Muslim women an unfair target. Veiled Muslim women have become representatives of the Muslim community thus becoming unwarranted targets to Islamaphobes. While being a Muslim is a blessing, sometimes being a representative for a 1.5 billion community members can be a burden and it can be easier to disassociate in public by simply removing your headscarf.
