The fact that the people arguing that Islamic tradition should be banned are the same people that complained that a Christian bakery couldn't discriminate against gay people is mind-boggling. Can we get just a little bit of consistency in here? At least admit that it's a Christian superiority thing, rather than a religious freedom thing.
Of course not. We're fooling ourselves if we think that the people who are for this suddenly care about women's rights though. Just look at the people arguing for this. Are these people typically part of the women's rights crowd, or the anti-islam crowd?
What about the rights of those women who are forced to wear the veil? Ofc they will say they want to wear a mask all the time...... they will get a beating from their husband or father at home if they say anything different. Just as others have stated using the example of abused women.
No one wears this ridiculous outfit in the West unless they are forced.
