I'm genuinely baffled. She seems happy because she has gone to umrah and actually wore a Niqab in her videos while she was in Makkah/Madinah. 

I'm quite curious. What would compel a woman born in America to actually regress like this? In America she has the choice to do what she wants, wear what she wants. She isn't subject to Mahram laws and stuff. Why would she want to enter a life that restricts so much?  


I say this because I've met so many women during my college years that were really shocked about islam. Back then I took a lot of comparative religion and Islamic history/Arabic courses. A lot of women were actually shocked at how regressive Islam is. They weren't even trying to be disrespectful or insulting. I remember 3 women that were genuinely confused about the hijab laws. The question that stuck with me till this day, "professor I have a question, so according to mainstream Islamic scholars, the hijab is meant to protect the sanctity of women and to safeguard them from mens eyes. What about men? Aren't women attracted to men, especially handsome men. They can become problematic for many women. Should they not cover themselves?" The professor was an agnostic Persian dude and said, "these are things that the classical scholars couldn't even fathom because a man is supposed to be the protector and a man wearing a veil is wrong to them. It would be feminine. In their eyes a man protects and a women is protected. The modern scholars built on top of this and created an Ijma based on centuries of scholarly work from many scholars that were all in agreement. It's very contradictory but that's another lesson for another class."

I came across this woman's tiktok. She's an American woman that converted to islam.
