Miss Headscarf 2008

This is an interview with the winner of the Danish Miss Headscarf 2008 fashion contest. It was arranged by the youth division of Danmarks Radio, the Danish Broadcast Corporation.

The fashion contest was a reaction to the harsh Danish debate on the muslim headscarf. For a long time the muslim headscarf was debated only by politicians and opinion makers, but the young women wearing the headscarfs were seldom heard. The muslim headscarf was in the debate constantly called a symbol of opression towards women, and a right wing party in the parliament called on banning headscarfs on all public employers.

Danmarks Radios youth website Skum (translates to "foam" in Danish) wanted to challenge the view of all hijab wearing women as oppresed and encouraged everyone - muslim or not - to take part in an alternative fashion contest to find the "most stylish headscarf girl in Denmark" to spark debate. They emphesised that it was a fashion and not a beauty contest.

At the same time young Danes debated headscarfs and religion on the website, and muslim woman were interviewed about the fashion aspect of the hijab. In Copenhagen and other large cities in Denmark, young stylish women wearing headscarfs and brand name clothes is an everyday scene.

The winner was chosen by fashion personality Uffe Buchardt and muslim blogger Helen Latifi that wears a headscarf herself. They chose 18 year old Huda, and their comments were:

"Fantastic and shocking color (mega summer trend), which shows attitude and power. Beautifully draped in the front. perfect style - almost like a piece of art."

"The deep blue scarf has a lovely contrast to her dark hair. She appears to be deep, reflecting and strong. Her beauty is concealed and only her inner heart shows. The scarf is the proof of reflection and inner peace".

If you are free then take off your hat and see how long it is before your husband or father beats your ass. You know this is true even though you are brain washed to believe you wear the hat by choice. You have no choice and you know it. Your book of tales even says so. No choice, period.... not in islam.
