Netherlands: Muslim Woman Attacked As "Infidel Whore" for Not Wearing Hijab

"Tunisian discriminated against by fellow Muslims," a translation of "Tunesische gediscrimineerd door mede-moslims," by Istvan Kovi, AD.nl, June 3, 2016 (thanks to Susan):

Muslim parents berate the integrated Tunisian Radia Laabidi, 38, regularly as "infidel and unclean." The Amersfoort mother experiences this in the schoolyard. "I do not wear headscarves, but a skirt, and do not go to the mosque. So some may consider you an infidel whore."

Laabidi believes that her children have been for some time a target of discrimination from other Muslims in their primary school in Amersfoort. A liberal Muslim woman, she was scolded recently at the school and even attacked. "She called to me and ran her nails across my face." Radia defended himself fiercely.

#HijabToMe is an everyday reminder of who I aspire to be. It keeps me in moral and mental check. It encourages me to put my best self out there. I love that Hijab makes it clear that I am Muslim because had I not been wearing it, it would’ve been hard to know. It’s an opportunity for me to stand in opposition to the regime of power that has misconstrued and negotiated the identity of Muslim women for so long. Above all, it helps me rise above myself (nafs) and allows for what really matters to shine through. What does #Hijab mean to you?? @huffpostrelig @HuffingtonPost #islam #women #muslimwomen #modesty #muslimah #huffingtonpost #hijabi #hijabers
