@cm-qt9ir who said it is illegal in Britain? There are many British Muslims. A country being not religious doesn't mean everyone inside it or every citizen should be an atheist. It is just a way to rule the country. Please understand what the meaning is and then talk wisely. Don't just go around attacking people without knowledge. This just spreads unjustifiable hate and demolishes peace.

Piers has a point. My catholic-raised mom wore headscarves and turbans back in the 1970s. It was just the fashion. A piece of clothing like any other. We can wear a scarf around our neck, but not on our head? Yet we can wear a hat on our head? How ridiculous. How about the Muslim dress? Should a woman be forced to wear a Western suit to work? Maybe let's pick on her jewelry, too? Let's scrutinize every piece of her outfit to make sure it has no religious connotations?

[@ezeee595]

The solution is really simple. She can pack her bags and find an equivalent job in a Muslim country, where she does not have to fight for her right to wear a Hijab at work place. Right now, Muslims have a very bad image around the world.

[@CaesarCassius]

The difference is that the Islamic Iranian government is beating, jailing, poisoning and killing women for refusing to wear a hijab. ISIL (the Islamic state militia) forced their sex slaves to put on hijabs before they raped them. Those Yazidi women when they were rescued by American soldiers, the first thing they did was rip off their hijabs and trample on them. If Piers condemns Shamima Begum because of her association with ISIL and endorses her being stripped of British citizenship, he should also be consistent here. Hijab is a symbol of Islamic terror and fascism, it should be banned jsut like the swastika.

Hijab, makeup, hair clips, accessories, and tattoos are not things that interfere with the dress code. Just admit that you don't like this religion or its people and you want to erase them.

Hijab make society segregated between genders + religious minorities facing more oppressions. Without hijab , islamic system cannot exists.
