In the current situation where many Muslims were swayed the way non-Muslims, including tattoos and keep dogs as a hobby, some non-Muslim individuals acting otherwise. If ever there who choose to fast to penetrate the Muslim friends, now there is a Chinese girl wearing a hijab.

Interestingly, the girl said she acted so as to demonstrate to Muslim girls out there how beautiful if veiled.

Even when some Muslim friends commented that 'simple' (do not worry), the girl known as Yun stated, 'simple lah tu young Muslims now can not stand to follow.'

Hmm, quite bitter statement to digest by some Muslim women today is not it?
