Go To

Basic Trope: A female character dresses herself in a hijab.

  • Straight: Alice dresses herself in a hijab.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Alice always dresses in a hijab despite not being Muslim.
    • Alice backs up her disguise by shouting jihadi statements, greatly offending actual Muslims.
    • Alice backs up her disguise by fluently speaking in multiple languages - every sentence.
    • Alice is naked except for the hijab around her head, but the disguise still works.
    • Alice wears a T-shirt with an Islamophobic slogan on it along with her hijab, but the disguise still works.
    • Along with her hijab, Alice wears a T-shirt with "I'm a dumb white girl" written on it, but the disguise still works.
  • Downplayed:
  • Justified:
    • Alice is in an Islamic country and is required to adhere to the local dress code.
    • Alice in infiltrating a terror cell as one of the terrorists' daughters.
    • Alice is Ambiguously Brown, which helps in impersonating Middle Easterns.
    • Alice is in fact a Muslim and hasn't worn it in a while.
  • Gender-Inverted: Bob dresses himself in a Taqiyah
  • Inverted:
    • Aminah disguises herself as an American girl in a skimpy swimsuit with an American flag design.
    • Aminah's disguises herself as an American girl by wearing a T-shirt with "I'm a dumb white girl" written on it.
    • Aminah wears a fatsuit, lifts, a large suit and red tie, dyes her hair blonde and deepens her voice to impersonate Donald Trump at a Republican rally. It works.
  • Subverted:
  • Double Subverted:
  • Parodied: Alice approaches a group of fellow hijabi girls and pretends to be one of them with an Innocently Insensitive impression. They beat her up.
  • Zig Zagged:
  • Averted: No one wears a hijab
  • Enforced:
    • It was written by a Muslim
    • "If one is to be a Muslim then they are to adhere to the Islamic scriptures."
