There were heated online and street discussions and I was so disgusted to hear a lot of "what do these foreign muslims in our country - they should go back home" - thing is that she was a indigenous New Zealander with more right to be in this country than anyone else, but people assumed she was a foreigner because of the hijab. Ignorance and stupidity go hand in hand, I suppose. jzkAllah for this article sister Ruth, we recently had a case in New Zealand where a native (Maori) Muslimah was denied entry to a courtroom (to support a relative in court) due to wearing hijab and it was made public.

Thank-you for sharing these personal encounters with us. When it comes to matters of race and religion, I receive the same perplexed gawk from people. I just don't fit into any perfect demographic. When I have to fill out the "race" section in an application form, I must always go down to the "other" box and write a sentence. As-salaamu ‘alaykum Ruth.
