What do people think of Muslim girls that wear hijab and abaya (the long black dress)

No, to me it makes them non-approachable as people wearing them never respond when you talk to them, or just mumble something in a foreign language (my experience).

Also I believe it to be ridiculous that these things can be worn to conceal your identity in public, yet a man wouldn't be able to wear a bandit mask in the street!

So what about nuns that wear clothing similar to the abaya and a headscarf?

Yep I agree. So do you know any girls that dress the way I do? Deep down what do you really think when you see one?

How often do you see nuns wearing such attire in public? There are not many of them, whilst I see muslim women wearing headscarfs every single day. Also, I'm not against muslims particularly, I just don't like such explicit expression of someone's religious beliefs.

Please inform me if anything I said was wrong

People who wear them look a lot less approachable, but that doesn't mean I won't ever approach you or wouldn't be friends with you. It's all about the body language and because I can see your face I can judge from that only. Now if we are talking about a Niqab then no I wouldn't approach, there's just too little to be able to judge your intentions by. Think about it this way, would you approach someone or talk to someone who you have never seen before and is wearing a balaclava.
As a side question, are you ever allowed to wear 'normal' casual clothes outside or do you always have to cover up in the black dresses and the hijab?

tbh I don't wear the 'black dress' to college/uni, I wear modest casual clothes eg. long top with a cardigan. I don't feel confident enough to wear the black dress in public

I guess it's a personal decision, some decide to wear the black dress (abaya), others don't. I feel like as long as everything is covered- it's islamically acceptable

So because there aren't many nuns its okay or am I misunderstanding. There shouldn't be a difference if you think about it the nun, regardless of whether there aren't many, is explicitly expressing her religious beliefs. So why is there a problem for the Muslims?

or your problem is someone following their religion thoroughly. Do you expect them to pick what parts they should and shouldn't follow because you 'don't like such explicit expression of someone's religious beliefs'

They aren't in their home country, so they shouldn't promote their religion at all. It is their culture and I would like to see them keeping it on their homeland, not bringing it here. Also, I think that these should be banned in public places for the security measures e.g. you can't go into a shop with a motorcycle helmet on, that's for the purpose of identification. But there are no objections to women wearing hijab, because leftists are scared to offend these people (they seem to be offended by everything anyway).
