    I for sure would prefer if women wouldn’t be forced to wear it. But lets be realistic: banning it doesn’t make things better, only worse. These women won’t stop wearing a hijab, they will just stop going outside. And now you made the situation even worse for them.

      A group of iranian college students visited my town in the summer.

      None of the girls used any sort of head cover and at some that came as a topic.

      Even in Iran, as much as they can, every woman goes without it, unless the religious police is somewhere nearby.

      The general, widespread view is that it is a form of repression and nothing else, yet their government/religious authority enforces it.

      Although unpopular and understood as fascist, these decisions in european countries echoe impositions islamic countries make to foreigners.

        Obviously, the ones who view it as a form of repression, would have already not been wearing headgarb in EU. The ones that do probably think different.

        After all it’s not as if everyone belonging to one religion is viewing it in the same way.

          I’m not going to even step into that debate.
