I think this is a classic Europe versus US thing.
Europeans won't admit it, but they are much more protective of their culture(s) and can be kinda xenophobic at times (look at France and their insistence and protectiveness of their language)
Americans (almost uniformly as I can tell) will typically view banning hijabs as an affront to freedom of religion. And you're going to find even less support of bans in libertarian-ish communities.
No it fucking doesn't
So France and Germany might ban the hijab but it won't really fly in the US.
*Denmark, not Germany
I don't really know what to say, because you're just wrong.
Do an image search for the word.
There's hijab, niquab, and chador
There's no "Wide category"
Here's a diagram, since words are clearly too hard for you
Fucking "Wide categories"
Jesus
Hijab both refers to any sort of muslim veil, although the head scarf is most common.
I think you're both right here.
Shivangi is using the proper definition
Hijab as the word means veil sure
Schedrevka is using a colloquial definition common in parts of the western world.
Given the choice, Shivangi's definition is probably preferable.
So you guys call any muslim veil "hijab"
My god
But I'm not entirely sure I see if it matters.
What even
i've heard of a burka, but extremely rarely. usually they're all referred to as hijab
Wew
This is one of those "if you're in the community (or close to it) you know the distinctions "
"kind of things"
Sorry sensei ! I'm late to Islam 101 again 😦
Hewwo
It's like, if I use the word "nozzle" most people here would have a very broad use of the word.
sayohi
Well I guess we do the same shit here with american stuff
But It has a very precise definition in rocket science.
We call both cookies and biscuits the same thing
It's not really malicious, it's just not...how it is.
Yeah, basically. That's a good example.
It's just.....WRONG
cookies versus biscuits.
I can't tell the difference what is cookie and what is biscuit >.<
***WRONG***
Cookies are usually baked and not very healthy.
biscuits are more like dried bread.
