Frustrated Woman Demands Roommate Not Allow Her Boyfriend Home Because She Doesn't Want To Wear Hijab

The level of hypocrisy is beyond me. This post made me pretty mad.

These days when someone talks about religion, suddenly everyone draws out their swords and knives. You can't point a finger at someone's religion, true, but what if it's hurting you?

Many people I know are afraid to talk about religions because they don't know how their views will be interpreted and what the consequences of such views would be. It's the truth.

Most of us aren't afraid of calling a spade, but in today's modern world, people's egos, pride, beliefs have become so fragile, it's easy to hurt someone just with honest opinions.

While I'm not pointing at any specific religion, there are a few things I'd like to say out loud.

Your religion is yours to believe and follow. Please don't preach or force your religion on others... it's unfair.

What's right for you isn't right for someone else, and religion is no exception. Every human on the planet has a right to believe and follow the religion they hold close to their hearts.

With that, let's talk about Redditor Unhappy-Screen9601's situation. We'll let her detail everything out, but here's an overview:

She lives with three other roommates, of which one's Muslim who wears hijab every time she leaves the house, or when they have male guests over at home.

The Muslim girl's boyfriend lives with her and doesn't pay rent or bring anything else to the table. He sometimes eats Unhappy-Screen9601's and other roommates' food.

Now we'll let Unhappy-Screen9601 take over.

There's no problem wearing a hijab.

They "confronted" her like it was a crime to have a boyfriend over.

That's unfair. No one forced hijab on her.

You're not being a racist. Here's what people think about your situation.

Exactly.

She is violating her religion rules by not wearing a hijab in front of her boyfriend too.

She should be wearing hijab 24/7, even in front of her boyfriend.

OP shouldn't give in to her roommate's hypocrisy.

Yes, it's her problem, basically.

Exactly. It's unfair.

The Muslim woman is cherry picking, that's all.

Yes, in Muslim, having a boyfriend is, indeed, haraam i.e. prohibited.

Yep, true that.

This is gold.

This is so true. In a full Muslim household, you can't bring home your boyfriend.

Bitter truth, but a hard-hitting fact.

No one's making her wear hijab.

It is her problem to figure out.

Exactly.

Everything except #3 because she'll still have her boyfriend home.

Rules can't be different for people living in the same house.

Exactly.

Yes, moving to another house with her byofriend will solve all problems.

Bitter fact.

Her beliefs are restricting her so now she's mad at everyone else.

In Summary...

Didn't this post make you mad too? Without offending anyone, I think the Muslim roommate should move to another house with her boyfriend so she doesn't have to wear hijab 24/7.

It's unfair to expect your roommates to follow your wishes just because of your religion. Suppose a roommate observes fasting, he/she shouldn't expect their co-roommates to not eat!

It's crazy to think that some people would force their obligations, beliefs, and stuff on others. It's wrong and unfair.
