In the name of Allah the Most Gracious Most Merciful

Upon further research in my previous post, I came across a very interesting article in the New York Times dating to August 15, 2014. Not even ten years ago, and the language and mindset is drastically different today:

“Not so long ago, it was considered radical for a Muslim woman to put a picture of her face online, Ms. Farraj said in a phone interview. “I was one of the first personal style bloggers to show my face.” 1

“Ten years ago if you said that you were wearing a hijab for fashion reasons, people would have laughed at you,” said Ms. Tufa, 24

“But fashion and faith certainly have their tensions. “Modesty is the opposite of what Instagram is about, so it can certainly be controversial,” said Ms. Elturk”.

Would these sisters stand by the same statements, or vehemently defend and encourage muslim women to show more of themselves? I invite you to read this article and think for yourself.
