Another user, tweeting as Ascia AKF, wrote: "Okay so which hijabi blogger is going to release the "how to make your hijab look like hair for going out in America" tutorial?"
Ehsan Zaffar said: "Friend who wears hijab: I’m afraid. I feel like there is a target on my head now literally. #ElectionNight is very different for many of us."
Another user said that already during Mr Trump’s campaign she had been targeted for wearing a headscarf.
