      As a Brit I love that my country belongs to the world and not to its native peoples. In my head I tell myself that this is natural, normal and healthy. It makes me feel virtuous and better than others.

      What does this have to do with hijab ?🤦‍♂️
      Funny how u also say culture in the same sentence. As far as I know, hijab isn't even an arab culture, it's was an imported thing when some arab women saw women went to the Byzantine Empire and saw their women covering their hair. Then they copied them because they thought it was more cultured and then they somehow threw a religious label on it.
