What a cute little girl, right? Only greasy Islamophobes could look at this video and not find it heartwarming, right? Well, consider this: the whole idea of the hijab (and niqab) is that it is entirely the woman’s responsibility to prevent men from being tempted. She must cover herself in order to forestall that temptation. So putting a hijab on a toddler is tantamount to stating that a prepubescent girl is a legitimate object of sexual desire, and thus must behave in the same way that is expected of adult women.
There needs to have an honest and open public discussion about this, and its implications for the rights of women and girls, but instead, cries of “Islamophobia” will drown it out, and the hijab left firmly in place on the youngest of girls. Only the greasiest of Islamophobes could possibly object.
