Muslim Teen Asks Dad If She Could Remove Her Hijab, And His Response Is Brilliant

17-year-old Lamyaa from Pennsylvania was recently engaged in a group chat with friends. When everybody started discussing Donald Trump, Lamyaa, who is an Arab Muslim Woman, contributed to the discussion with her own strong views about the president. Realizing that the teen girl was a Muslim, a mutual friend in the group chat, whom she didn’t know, responded to her comments in the only way that idiots know how.

“Stop defending Islam, Bitch shut up. You couldn’t take that face cover off, or your dad would beat your ass,” they wrote, prompting the best response ever from Lamyaa. Because instead of letting the insult slide, or responding to the stranger in a similarly rude people’s manner, the brave girl decided to ask her dad, who lives in Saudi Arabia, if it was ok for her to remove her hijab. What did he say? See for yourself below. She shared his answer on Twitter and it’s since gone viral with over 320k likes 147k shares.

    She was recently having a group chat with friends when somebody she didn’t know insulted her

    Lamyaa decided to ask her father if it was OK to take off her hijab, and his response couldn’t have been better

    Many people were quick to stand behind Lamyaa and her father

    And Lamyaa was also keen to let people know that she had no intention of actually taking her hijab off

    Other people had different views however

    And so Lamyaa decided to clarify things a little

    “Your dad is so sweet!” wrote one person, and we have to agree
