What is she talking about "My body is NOT for your consumption"

That's literally your job

Wallahi only in America do they compare scarfs with a towels head

And then their ruling elites buy something resembling the head wear from high end stores.

Wallahi that level audacity and hypocrisy...girl please... go be a model in Somalia.

Turbanista are not Hijabis.

Why join the industry if you are not going to strut your breasts for all of us? It's like a star refusing to do anal.

This chick is on flights going all over the world every month. Successful immigrants should not play the race card, its cringe, how many magazine covers has she been on. Trust me she is not living the average experience as a "black Muslim", shes doing better than 95% of em.

This is sooooo embarassing bcos from it seems the guy is in disbelief at the contradiction- i.e a ’heejaab’ on a swimsuit edition of sports magazine.
But she’s crying racism instead.

Bilaa caleyk at least if youre gonna do weird shit and ‘break boundaries’ keep the hijab and the deen *out* of it.
The rest of the muslimaat do not appreciate your antics.

everyone feels that way. Nobody watches the swimsuit edition to see someone's face, they watch for body, why would you do a swimsuit shoot if you are completely covered up.

To me. Sports Illustrated is just pandering doing a shoot with her

My point is this isnt an issue of racism.
And she’s not covered and actually she’s promoting the sexualisation of the hijab. The irony
