Opinion about the Hijab.

Right or not to wear the Hijab?

I think that every women who want to wear it is allowed to.
I respect their religion and I personally find it beautiful.
If they came in Québec, I think it's their own choice to wear it or not, but if we're going in their country I think we are kind of obligate to wear it, only to show that we are respecting them. I think that it's a choice to wear it or not when we are coming in their country, but I will probably wear it. We don't see that often and it's a occassion to see their religion in a different way.
