Recently, my husband asked me to take all my pictures off of Facebook – even though I observe purdah and wear a head scarf and abaya, and none of my pictures were obscene. “Why?” I asked him, before doing it.
“Because you wear hijab,†he said. “Exactly!†was my reply. I was covered in my pictures, so what was wrong with having them up? So he asked me, “Why do you cover yourself?â€
