A number of Swedish individuals are showing their support to one hijab-wearing woman who was

harassed and assaulted (http://w w w .thelocal.se/49718/20130819/) in Stockholm last Friday night. According to

police, the victim believes this was a faith-based hate crime. Using the hashtag #HijabUppropet

(https://tw itter.com/search?q=%23hijabuppropet&src=hash) , which means 'hijab outcry', women, children and even

men are posting pictures of themselves online wearing the traditional Muslim headscarf.

Maybe the media could also help by not demonizing hijab-wearing women as "radicalized" or "Islamists". They're

usually depicted as oppressed and/or brainwashed for choosing to dress modestly. This is a very beautiful initiative

though, respect to the people of Sweden.

Way to go people of Sweden. Hijab is outer covering that is the most obvious declaration of being Muslim. No one

should be persecuted because of their clothing. 8)
