Trolls are always going to around to latch onto material, and I've resolved myself not to be dishonest and silent to avoid them because lack of discussion/communication is as bad or worse than anything the trolls can do with it... I spent alot of time just sitting on my ideas and concerns with no interaction with other Muslims about them before I started blogging, and it was not helpful to me being a better Muslim to bottle it up.

People who don't like the message won't read it. Hijab is very controversial and tolerance for any kind of rational discussion is generally low. I think the image matches the story and only one perspective sees it as muslim bashing. The real damage to Islam may be coming from the people who feel offended by such images. Images get picked up and used by all kind of orgs. The source is ISHR.org. They are a legitimate human rights org which is not anti-Muslim.

I'm not saying my response is "right" or even rational, but if your object is to engage readers rather than deflect them, it's worth considering...
