Could you buy me a Hijab ?
I think that this afternoon I experienced the most unusual situation …Lunch time: I was on a hurry - like always - heading to one of the food courts when I was approached by a young woman wearing a hijab.
She was a recent immigrant in Montreal you could tell by her clothes, she had a paper in her hands and she told me if I could give her some money to buy some dippers for her baby.
I was really late and I did not have any change sop I apologized but she insisted and she told me that it was for her baby she did not have any money and her mother ( I presume) who was looking at us did not have any money either ..
I felt sorry for her so I was looking for a drugstore in the neighbourhood but the closest place was too far … so she asked me If I were Muslim . I told her that I was indeed Muslim just to end the conversation and get her dippers ASAP... Then she looked around she noticed a stand selling hats, purses and hijabs.

So she looked at me and she asked me : Could you buy me a hijab instead ?.. I did not believe that she was asking me to buy her a hijab especially when she already had one covering her head...
Frustrated, I asked her: Do you need dippers for your baby or a hijab ?
She said : Well it’s too far buy me hijab instead ..
I really was going to loose it but I looked at her and said: I will never buy a hijab for a woman and I left
Nowadays, in Montreal, you can see a lot of women recently arrived in the city begging for money for their children, their sick husband etc... But I never encounter one begging for hijab!!!

Amusant. CHez nous, en France, ce sont des roumaines qui "s'habillent en musulmanes" pour demander l'aumône dans des marchés fréquentés par les arabes et aux sorties des mosquées.
