Ahead of her professional debut, Tina Rahimi sat down for a lengthy interview about representation, the Islamophobia she encounters, and re-learning her identity after an Olympics heartbreak.
It’s curious that there are some men out there who dress in their own black niqab hiding most of their face, not for religious reasons but because they do not want to show who they are and what they supposedly stand for. Then, they march around in a gang of fellow ‘male niqab’ wearers to look intimidating. Some (or many) of these guys are very likely to be the first to throw insults at muslim women for wearing their attire and for belonging to a group they see as ‘strange’. You gotta laugh!

Yeah, they seem to have an insatiable need for contradiction.
