So, lets say a Hijabi waz in a fight with another girl...?

Hijabi's shouldn't be fighting period, unless they are fearful for their lives or honor. Hijabi women are a face of Islam. People judge not only us, but sometimes our entire religion as a whole on the things we do. If a hijabi girl is smoking, drinking, having relations, or taking off her hijab when not around her parents/family/husband etc, many non-muslims will judge all hijabis on their actions, forgetting the pious actions of another hijabi in moments. We wear our hijabs like wearing a flag. It's a sign to every single person who lays eyes on us that we are muslim. And, though that's obviously not why we wear it, we need to remember that the fact remains, the minute we are seen dressed the way we are, it's like a neon sign stating "MUSLIM". We should always act as good ambadors for our beliefs. If we are sinking to such levels as physical fighting, especially in a way that could endanger our coverings, we are giving those who are just looking for a reason to judge us, that reason, and on a silver platter no less. There are much better ways to handle situations than physical confrontation.
