Antono said she is comfortable with the choices she has made regarding how to practice her faith. In every religion there are those who are very strict to the very lax, she said. I m somewhere in between. Antono doesn t wear a hijab, or covering, over her head. The issue is something she has heard debated.
Islamic law requires women to be completely covered except for their hands and eyes.
I m still in doubt on that, she said. I m being practical, I guess. That s the compromise I ve made, she said. Her arrangements aren t necessarily compromising her faith, but are only altering physical practices, she said. I m exposed to a different situation, so I have to adjust, she said.
