Inaccurate statistics and attention getting devices.
Reader comment on item: Guest Column: The Dangerous Lie Of The Hijab

I would seriously question the authors assertion that 4 times as many women convert to Islam as men. The author is condemning Islamic propaganda, but this statistic is itself Islamic propaganda.

As far as why some Western women decide to wear the hijab, I would argue that it is an attention seeking device. They are not trying to be modest at all. Just the opposite actually. They are trying to bring attention to themselves and then self-righteously condemn anyone questioning their choice of head-dress.
