I was at a restaurant with a few friends, and yes, I was wearing a headscarf, and speaking in Urdu, my mother tongue.

The next table was occupied by a bunch of young women and men who spoke English with a Pakistani accent, and made some grammatical mistakes which made me cringe. No, it gives me strength, dignity and of course more importantly, I am adhering to the command of Allah SWT.

It is my basic right to adopt the attire that I feel comfortable in, just as it is the right of those who do not wear it.

The problem is that the do-gooders of liberalism feel that it is their duty to “rescue” women like me, who are “burdened” with a piece of cloth.

But we must not forget that it was not that long ago that we, here in England, had to respond to Jack Straw for his “unfortunate” remarks about his conversation with women wearing the veil.

Sadly, hijab has been politicised over the years and has been represented negatively, not only in the Western Media, but has been discouraged (in some circles) in a country like Pakistan where it is seen as a sign of “backwardness” and not in touch with modernity.

However, the covering of the head is of course not specific to Muslim women.

Having more than 23 years of diverse experiences, especially in ANESTHESIOLOGY, Dr. Anjum Anwar affiliates with University Of Washington Medical Ctr, cooperates with many other doctors and specialists in medical group The Association Of University Physicians. The young woman asked where I was from (maybe because my Urdu probably had an accent) and I said from England; and she said “well it doesn’t look like you are from UK!!!”

I guess I should have been wearing a mini skirt!

My headscarf is my identity and I am extremely proud that I can wear it when I want and how I want, and the last thing I need is some governmental agency telling me when and how I can do that.

What happened in Iran was appalling and should not have happened, neither should our politicians in the UK talk about “letter-boxes” when referring to the veil.

Why do these women, and no doubt men, feel that they need to liberate me from the Dark Ages?

I, and my sisters, who wear the hijab do not need rescuing, nor are we oppressed at any level. Call Dr. Anjum Anwar on phone number (206) 520-5000 for more information and advice or to book an appointment.

Blackburn activist Anjum Anwar sends a clear message to western and Muslim liberals – stay away from my hijab!

How strange that a piece of cloth can instigate riots.

However, I am discriminated not only in the Western world, at times, because of my headscarf, but also in some Muslim-majority countries.

I will never forget an incident in Pakistan when I was visiting Karachi. My headscarf my right!

Anjum Anwar is an Anesthesiology Specialist in Seattle, Washington. I believe at some point they assumed we were some women from some remote village in Pakistan who were out painting the town red.

As I got up to leave, I politely went over to their table and spoke in the Queen’s English and gave them a few quick lessons in English and corrected their spoken grammar.

Identifying resources which help foster better relations between different faiths, ethnicities and self identified groups and considering whether there are distinct ways to live with and ease the tension in these complex and many layered arenas. Anjum Anwar attended to a university and then graduated in 2002

Yes! That’s right, the hijab is seen as “oppression” by some of those who do not wear it and they must liberate those poor oppressed women, like me, who do wear it.

The recent death of a woman in Iran (Mahsa Amini) has once again opened up the debate on hijab.
