Salaam sister - Peace be to you :)
I see that you are disturbed from the style of your writing.
In my opinion you should consider somethings -
-What people are doing , or saying shouldn't really matter to you.
-She might be ignorant about Islam, that is why i am not really interested in criticising her.
- Just as non Muslims need Dawah , i'm a born Muslim and i would have apreciated it if some one gave Dawah to me , i didn't acknowledge the simplist things about my religion and i think many born muslims have had the same situation.

For the first time in my traveling years, I wasn’t noticed. And I IMMEDIATELY missed the attention. I was a bit hurt, I must admit
from my point of view , i dont even think she wears the Hijab regualarly i think it was from her first experience, i would have said the same words if i wanted to impress western audience but yeah i don't think you should be paying attention to such things.

Well i think that on your personal opinion , i think you should care about yourself , and you should be giving the right idea about hijab , i mean if she it doesnt come back to us to change her attitude or the way she introduces hijab to people. So if you want to make a differnce start within yourself and you should also give the correct idea of hijab and its purpose. It is obligatory but many women today say it is not maybe out of ignorance or m,ay be because they dont want people saying to them - howcome so and so is wearing the Hijab and you're not?- do you get my point ?
i hope this helps Insha Allah.
