Drake tells hijabi muslim fans to take their scarf off at a concert!

Before we all pile on the accusation train, let's analyse what was really said.

"I see you 4 girls right there, I hope you having a good time. You got on that hot ass scarf right there, you might want to take this off. You got to turn *muffled* up. You don't need to come out with that sh*t".

Me being a Muslim women who wears the hijab, I can tell you right now in a crowded place like that you'd get very hot wearing the hijab. My guess is Drake was saying "you should take the scarf off, it's gunna get hot in here".

I don't think for a second it was meant in an offensive way. He would have said the same thing to someone wearing a jacket. I think people are looking into this too much.

But seriously what is a Muslim doing at a concert in the first place...

My guess is it's a generational thing when you immigrate into a different culture/society, your kids are gonna be less conservative than you, your grandkids will be even less conservative, and so on, it begins with turning a blind eye to the religious rules that are less plausible to follow i.e listening to music, leaving the house without a husband or family member (If you're a female), and then as generations go by, most to all other rules that are more plausible to follow will eventually fade away i.e not eating pork, fornication, adultery.

Not my kids, I'ma smack em up if they start eating porking or fornicating, doing drugs and drinking alcohol etc.

I will raise them well

The process is longer depending on where you live and its a bit case by case, if you're living in an area with a dense Muslim population such as certain areas of the country then western influence is a longer process than it would be in others, but generally when emigrating to a different culture, as generations go by, offspring will adhere to the culture of the country they're born and bred in.

It boils down to religion not being a part of a country's law making entities, if you're in a place where you can do something legally by law, but illegal by your religion, then over time you're more likely to do it given you wont be arrested, and you can just hide it from your family, church/mosque etc.

Most atheists/agnostic non religious people you meet in the UK are probably white/british, but chances are a few generations ago their families were religious, catholic/protestant etc..

I myself was born a catholic, had communion, but stopped going to church at around age 10, and now I engage in many things that would be deemed non catholic.

It's this fear of generational adaptation that has fringe groups in the country wanting to implement sharia law etc..

Like why would you even go to the concert in a flipping hijab, use your common sense and not disrespect the womens islamic clothing then! Going to a concert and going to a concert in a job are 2 different things tbh:/

I was thinking that may be the case but then, using the language "that **** " to a religious head scarf, is a bit different to a jacket. When I first heard about it, I thought it must have been exaggerated or misunderstood - but when I saw the video, it was quite insensitive I guess.

I wouldn't use that language on Sikhs wearing turbans in a hot environment, let a long suggest they take it off - knowing it's a religious item - if you know what I mean?

I don't know if he was being naive, or has anti-hijab views (which isn't that rare these days I guess).

Well if I catch them doing those things I'll put em on a plane to egypt... they'll soon learn to obey me. If you raise them with good morals and fear of Allah they will be good practising Muslims. I'm not talking about full on Saudi Arabia upbringing but I will teach them how to be a good Muslim.

Ahh, but the chances are your kids will merely fear you and not Allah as theyre exposed to western culture, they will ask for proof and reason to fear Allah which is something that can't be proved.

It really saddens me to think that most non Muslims think that the hijab is a sign of oppression where it is actually a symbol of your love for Allah :/

Why shouldn't she wear the hijab?
You are suggesting it's silly to wear a hijab if you go to a concert, that's wrong.
Who are we to define a 'proper muslim', everyone sins that doesn't mean one sin should be accompanied by another even bigger one. The sin is still really bad, and they should definitely not do it, but suggesting they should follow it with another one is ignorant.

How can you be sure that Drake thought it was a hijab? He did call it a scarf and not a hijab.

Im actually shocked about some people's logic on TSR.

It's seems more odd to me that people suggest if you are doing one bad thing, you should do more bad things; such as dress immodestly.

I'm laughing because
1. You think going to a music concert is bad, and
2. You think people seeing your hair is bad.
