A hijab stab is a form of micro aggression often experienced by non Muslims when approached by someone wearing various forms of Islamic dress. Yasmine Mohammed wrote the following in an article that appeared in the Toronto Sun, "At home I was taught that good, pure, clean girls wore hijab and filthy, loose, despicable girls did not," That sentence explains the hijab stab. A young woman approaching a hijabi wearing woman on the street knows how she is being viewed by that woman. She experiences a hijab stab. A homosexual approaching a woman wearing a burka knows that the burka wearing woman believes that he should be put to death for his lifestyle. He experiences a hijab stab. A dog owner walking his dog through a park in which there are many people in Islamic dress knows that many Muslims consider dogs filthy. He may experience a hijab stab.
