lol i take the hat off and stick it in my pocket. so far i havent had that problem, the only problem was in namaz/salat. i started wearing it at the end of ramadan when it started to get really cold really fast, in the last week,and i thought since my forhead is touching the ground, i cant wear that cap, so i wore a prayer cap "topi/kufi" instead.

Is that OK though? I mean you're still taking in the word Allah into a toilet?

I think stick to wearing a Kufi. Brothers in Kufis look very nice mashaAllah and at least you can identify them as brothers.

One thing I liked about the African American brothers I saw in NYC, was that many of them wore a Kufi.

Dunno why but the Kufi just adds to a brother's appeal.

Apologies for the number of times I've used the word brother. I could think of no other substitute.
