NOGA,

I am aware of the reality for many Muslim women but I see, every day, many a Muslim woman here in the West who really can choose.

I also see many a Muslim woman here in the West wearing a hijab when she really can choose not to. How does that help her sisters in countries where the choice is denied?

I’m not addressing the kind of Muslim woman who has so little empowerment that true choice is not viable. I’m addressing the kind of woman with possible access to the internet who might actually read this.
