The niqab, however, does elicit more of a response from strangers... One of her friends was asked if it was Halloween when she was working out at a fitness club.

The stares and comments don't bother Smith, but she wishes people would take the time to talk to her before making uninformed judgments.

Whoa. I'd sure like to have a conversation with a woman who would dress like that at a gym. I would pass out. It's bad enough on a treadmill or stairmaster in shorts and a t-shirt. They keep those places way too hot. Why, I was sweating today from the heat and humidity and I was working out in a pool, for heaven's sake. I'm hard pressed to come up with any explanation for her behavior more charitable than a loose screw. It would be interesting to hear what she has to say.
