The links are useful and it promotes how easily the Islamic fashion can still be shared throughout the world. InshaaAllah these efforts will lead to bigger and better media outlets for most people to become aware of. <strong>[This comment has been edited to fit within comment moderation guidelines.]</strong> BTW, I really like this article.

I have a fashion blog as well and I tell people upfront where what my view on hijab is. It's incredibly frustrating when I get comments from people on both sides- those who are conservative and those who are more liberal- wanting to adjust my blog for them. I'm just throwing ideas out there. People can take or leave them. I am sure the same goes for Welovehijab and other blogs. Melinda, then it’s time you start of blog of your own, no?

Instead of recognizing that hijabis have a spectrum of definitions of modesty, some more conservative than the blogger's own and some less, the blogger offers not suggestions but instructions based on her own specific definitions of modesty: "You'll want to do [...] to cover [...]," instead of "If you want [...], you can do [...]. I usually [...]" And it's incredibly judgmental. For example, look at the thread on leggings, in which the poster and commenters jump over each other to call Muslim women who wear leggings sinners. Ugh. The “We Love Hijab” has some cool photos and interesting ideas, but I can’t stand some aspects of it.
