Why I wear a hijab

Lets go down what you said. "A westerner by definition isn't born a Muslim so of course they're converts, you moron." - A westerner can in fact become muslim and the children of this muslim would be born a muslim. So a westerner can be born a Muslim.

"I'll tell you who DON'T wear hijabs: non-Muslims." With "like many do" I referred to "rather converted to it". "Don't tell me you have the arrogance to think that only Muslim women seek enlightenment from society!" - I do not claim that the muslim woman are the only ones seeking enlightenment, they are just one group of the many who seek it.

"Well virtually all of the Muslim women I've gone to school with or worked with has quietly admitted that although now they've been wearing them so long, they'd feel "naked" if they went outside without it, the reason the started wearing them in the first place was to please their parents. Or outright family pressure." - Many woman I have worked with do not feel the same way these woman feel.

"No, they don't. You obviously don't have a realistic view of the majority of Muslim marriages or gender equality. Men have all the rights, all the power and it is a woman's job to obey her husband. If a wife is getting stepping out of line, the Qu'ran advises the husband to beat his wife until she behaves. After withholding the privilege of sex from her first, of course. FYI: "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." [Qu'ran Verse 4:34] If I had a mic, I'd have dropped it now." - In the Islam violence is the last resort. Also Men do not have all the power. Woman and men are made equal but in many ways different, they are both better in pacific jobs (most of the time). So it would be natural to think that MOST of rights are reserved for the person who is better at the job. You copied and pasted just a fraction of an enormous book. This is one example is outweighed by the many paragraphs which state that violence is not to be used and that the woman are equal to men.

If I was on a stage a second mic needed to be brought in, as dropping one would not have been enough.
