Sometimes people don't have time for complete explanations, so this might come as handy. IDK... Or maybe the people are among your age so you don't want to confuse them. Either way...
1. "Why do you cover your head?"
"Because God asks me to do so."
"But why aren't your friend wearing a veil?"
"Insya-Allah, she will, soon."
"What did you say? Insy--"
"Insya-Allah?"
"Yes. That one."
"Insya-Allah means If Allah wills in Arabic. We need to say that everytime we want to make promises 'cause we won't know what will happen in the future. Plus, words are prayers. The more I hope for her to change, the more likely she will change."
2. "And why does she now not covering head when it's a must?"
"Okay, let's take it this way. As a child, who do you love the most?"
"My parents..?"
"Indeed, but then, when they ask us to do chores like do the dishes and clean your room, we don't always listen, right? It's a lie if you say you never said no."
"Yeah..."
"Same goes to everyone, including Muslims. As a human being, we sometimes are too weak and reluctant to obey our own Creator."
3. (another version) "Why do you cover your head?"
"You know, they say that even in fashion, showing less skin is more classy."
"Yeah, but they never say about showing less hair or no hair at all."
"Oh that, I leave that all to your imagination. You need to work and enhance your imagination, before you're getting too old."
4. "Why do you pray?"
"To be closer to God."
"What did you get for being closer to God?"
"A lot. Like my smartness and pimple-free face. Okay maybe not that flawless."
"Ohh, don't self-hate yourself. You're beautiful."
"I'm sorry. Didn't you hear that I literally just bragging about my beauty and brain?"
"Yeah right."
5. "Don't you think you're wasting time by having to pray 5 times a day?"
"No, I don't. 'Cause roughly a prayer would take about 5 minutes so that'd be 25 minutes a day. Only 25 minutes out of 1400 minutes for your God everyday? That's barely a long time. I mean, we take a way longer time for eating and sleeping."
6. "Why can't you touch a guy?"
"I do can. As long as I'm wearing my gloves."
"What's the deal with skin-to-skin?"
"Umm, let's just say I'm a germaphobes."
"You are a germaphobes?"
"Only with boys' germs."
"Now you're acting immature."
"Hey! I'm just trying to make it easy for you."
"Seriously, Ayu, can't you be serious for like, 5 seconds?"
"Right, I actually leave my bare skin totally touch-free from elligible guys so that my future husband can enjoy it. Jealous much?"
"I might be your future husband."
"Oh please, no, you won't."
7. "Are you still a virgin?"
"Proudly yes."
"OMG, how lame!""
"Excuse me, which part of me being a virgin is lame?"
"The part that you never had a sexual experience before?"
"You know why I'm doing this? 'Cause I believe that a husband should have the best from his wife and not something second-hand. And vice versa."
8. "You're such a bragger. You think that you're holier and better than us and we're sick of you."
"I'm sorry, in Islam, we're not saying that we're better than you guys, but we actually wanna show you a better way of life."
9. "Why can't you eat pork?"
"Ok, why some people don't eat seafood?"
"Because... they are allergic to it?"
"Yes. And the same goes to me."
"Nobody's allergic to pork, you liar."
"No, the same goes to me- it makes me sick."
