While I was strolling around Bologna this morning, I happened to receive a few funny looks from Italians in the street. Being a Muslim in a Catholic country, I'm become completely used to this now and usually the reactions are so comical that I don't mind them. Actually, they can be pretty entertaining. So I've compiled a light-hearted list of the 11 most common facial reactions to seeing a Hijab. Which one are you?





The Overcompensating Smile

(to show I'm not racist)

The Disapproving Old Lady Glare

The Don't Make Eye Contact Look

The Standard Confused Face

The Double Chin Double Take!

The Concerned 'Aren't You Hot in That??'

The Surprised 'Oh' Face

"Is this girl Italian or just foreign?"

The Duck and Cover!!

"So just what are you exactly??"
