I'm sorry but the cartoon of the hijabi fucks me off.
First problem, it's actually haram to represent people in artwork in Islam. This is the whole reason Charlie Hebdo got in deep shit, it's not just that their cartoon was vulgar but that it portrayed the Prophet at all. Islamic art should never produce graven images / icons of real people, that's why it's always geometric stuff as decoration in the Middle East.
Second:
It's extremely rare in Islam to consider any visible hair acceptable with the headscarf. It blows my mind that a Muslim convert would choose to be portrayed in a drawing with visible hair like that from the scarf slipping back. Converts are usually much more strict in their religious beliefs than someone who was brought up in the culture. I know people brought up in Muslim households who don't wear the scarf except to the mosque, but again, converts are usually more radical.
Let me put it this way, there are people who think that US politician with turban-style hijabs isn't wearing it properly and that she's a bad Muslim for showing her neck.
It stuns me that someone who converted to Islam (and thus super duper believes in its teachings, promise!) Would happily agree to be shown as a cartoon logo for a podcast, with the hijab drawn so shittily. Blows my fucking mind, I'll take those Islamic Content reacts now.
