"As a Muslim woman who chooses to wear hijab, this portrayal hurts. The Quran says ‘There is no compulsion in religion’* (2:256) – we choose Islam ourselves. No one forces us to cover or stay at home. I wear hijab and go to concerts, work, travel, and live fully. Yet Muslim characters here are shown as either oppressed or dangerous. These stereotypes fuel real-world harm. Please consider more balanced, authentic Muslim voices in future writing."
"My hijab doesn’t stop me from being a teacher – just like millions of Muslim women worldwide."
