"Aren't you hot in that?"


I'm certain anyone living within a Western community has been asked: "Wow! Don't you feel hot in your Hijab?!"

10. "I'm more protected against skin cancer"

9.  "It's cooler than my hair"

8. "I have air-conditioned thoughts"

7. "Yeah. I'm dying.  *whispers* I need you to free me"

6. "OMW, I don't believe you actually think that far"

5. "So what if i do?"

4. "Hell is hotter"
3. "My hijab is what a thorn is to a rose"

2. "Anything for my Allah, is cool"


and no. 1.



Feel free to add any more responses :p
