Hijabi Lawyers?

I've been told I should be a lawyer because I argue a lot and I always back my points with evidence. Plus, I enjoy History and I wouldn't mind studying Law however are there any lawyers that are hijabis? I'm thinking from a realistic point of view here, Muslims are portrayed badly in the media rn and I'm curious if this would set me back for a job later. Plus, many clients may choose not to deal with me because of my faith. Being a woman is one thing but also being Muslim could potentially waste my time. What are your thoughts? Are you looking into law? Do you know any hijabi Lawyers? I need the honest truth here

lol that's the worst reason I've ever heard to become a lawyer
you like arguing? try ****ing politics there's a *real* argument
in law, you have to learn to do what you're told - the law is the law; you can't change it by merely being argumentative - where's the potency in that?



"being a woman is one thing" - no it isn't - women aren't discriminated against in law. but in terms of your hijab - why bother with it? just because your folks make you wear it you don't have to obey their googly-eyed fundamentalist doctrines when you're an adult, do you? this is 2016 UK, not the 7th century arabia where women were treated like pets - nobody wears those things any more, and a judge is going to have some sense of modern fashion to cast negative judgements upon you for it - you don't have to wear it to be a muslim too unless you're saying that all non-hijab wearing muslim women aren't "true muslims"? there are millions of women muslims that don't - are you saying they "don't count"?

For those who choose not to wear the* hijab for an invalid reason, they are committing a sin.

Your random rant about the* hijab and Islam has no relevance to her question...

I corrected your grammar for you, so that you don't sound russian. you're welcome

Thank you for your critical imput - I'm sure this has changed the course of the whole thread.

proper grammar literally costs nothing.

Start your sentences with a capital letter, huehuehue.

Rather than be an unsavoury person, why not just converse on topic like a normal person?

actually using the right words is one thing, but asking me to use capitals in exactly the right place, on an internet forum? wow

Okay.

Why would you automatically assume she's being forced to wear it?

oh come on - you think her parents have nothing to do with it?

It is compulsory so not wearing it would be a sin. Those non hijabi muslim women do count but they sinning..
