A BIT INSANE
At first look, it's a bit insane that anyone would become so upset at the sight of a woman covering herself with the Hijab. All these people in these societies getting so angry at a woman covering herself, to the point that they want to arrest her or physically attack her. It just doesn't make any sense, does it?
But when you consider that the wearing of the Hijab does the three following things, then it starts to make a great deal more sense:
1- The woman who wears the Hijab truly is independent of the Western liberal way of life, and her Hijab is a loud symbol of that independence. No matter how much they claim that they are upset at the "oppression" of women, the truth is that they are angry that this "savage" Muslim woman rejects their liberalism and rejects their promiscuous way of life, and she dares make her own choice independent of the "white man's burden" that he so graciously brings to the savages in order to civilize them.
2- The Hijab prevents the Western man from looking at the things that he demands he be allowed to look at. This "savage" woman dares cover herself when the Western man wishes to look at her and enjoy what she has to display. This makes the Western man angry, and makes the Muslim woman the decider of what he can and cannot look at.
3- It makes the Western woman feel lesser in terms of her chastity and morality. The Hijabi makes her feel like she is not dressed properly, and will even cause the Western woman to imagine (falsely) that the Hijabi is judging her and looking at her in a condescending way - which is usually not even close to the reality, since most Hijabis don't wear the Hijab due to a sense of superiority, rather it comes from a sense of submission to Allah and a sense of chastity, causing the Hijabi to be more humble and understanding.
I'm sure there are other reasons that affect other individuals who are hostile towards the Hijab, but I believe these are the primary ones.
So don't be fooled by the West's claims of wanting to liberate women from the Hijab. All they want to do is to make sure that the Muslim woman is subservient to their way of life. The Hijab is a blatant and flagrant rejection of that subservience, and openly proclaims that this woman is subservient only to her Creator - no matter how much the Western disbelievers may hate it.
