Thats harsh.I respect the meaning of the hijab for you and I think thats great. But it isnt fair to judge others for their choice not to wear it. That is their choice and they are no less deserving of love for their choice.
I have a close musslim friend I care for dearly. She has always refused to wear a hijab, she is getting married next year and certainly found her love.

Some jews do eat pigs, and they are still jews. Religion is different for everyone and in every region. While I respect that it may not be what you see as muslim, it is what SHE sees as muslim.
So for her it is real and that's what matters. People are free to interpret their religion how they feel is correct.

Religious books are not people, they cant answer questions, they cant clarify confusions, they can not tell you what they meant when it is unclear or open to interpretation.
The truth is the same words on the page can be interpreted many different ways. Two people can both hold the same sacred book as sacred, see the same words ont he page, and determine the meaning of those words to be different. That is simply the nature of langauge.
By definition all a christian needs to be a christian is beleive in the teachings of Jesus. Strictly speaking they dont even need to recognize the same bible. In fact there are many different versions of the christian bible as well as different books.
Similarly all someone needs to be a musslim is to consider Muhammad as the prophet and to follow what they believe his teachings to be.
Again, you and no one else gets to be the authority of a sacred figures words or the sole interpriter of a religious text. She has every right to make that call for herself.
With that said, even if she was not a true muslim, so what? That is her choice and if she wants to be something other than a "true muslim" in your mind that is her choice.
What you should ask yourself is, how do you feel your comments would in any way help her, how are you acting with good intention with such a comment?
