Muslim Lawmaker Ilhan Omar Admits She Only Started Wearing A Hijab After 9-11

...

The Rolling Stone article by Tessa Stuart begins by addressing Omar’s hijab and why she wears it. Omar admits that she didn’t always wear her hijab; it wasn’t until after the horrible attack on America by Islamic extremists on 9-11, that she chose to wear her hijab to make a statement.

From the article:

As a teen in Minnesota, Ilhan Omar didn’t wear a hijab often. “I, regretfully, was one of the folks who would only wear it the days I didn’t have the time or energy to fix my hair,” says Omar, who arrived in the U.S. in 1995 as a refugee of the Somali civil war. Her attitude evolved after September 11th: “I knew we had a responsibility to help shape a narrative about our faith that is positive.”

I'll bet she was part of this movement, sponsored by CAIR.
