Comment on In some heavy Muslim countries women seems always to wear a black hijab and get in trouble for not wearing one. Why don't they wear colorful ones or with slogans? Is black all to wear?

The point of the hijab is effectively to not draw extra attention to yourself. Colors and patterns are pretty common in less strict countries though.

Slogans and logos are kind of problematic for somewhat similar reasons but companies like Adidas have been trying real hard for years to make it work. There’s also a drive that Islamic things specifically should not follow western ideals, and that could be the most western thing we’ve ever done.
