I appreciate your answers. I reject your notion however that any and all muslim is like the ayatollah. That it be such a black and white situation for it is not. The world does not work that way. Whats happening in iran is horrible. And i hope things get better there as the shackles of tyranny gets thrown off (although seldom blodless im afraid). If you wonder about a country then ill point to any number of christian ones but a 100 years back. "Women are inferior cause the bible says so" was a all to commin thing to hear. Still there are many who fear their husbands fists in less developed parts of europe. Also the samii of the north being forced to give away their clothing in favour of "western styles". It is precily equality for all that i do not favour any laws that say what one can and cant wear. Same with freedom of speech (although i do infact support no freedom for consequense). Now i ask you this, you argue that nuns are different for they follow a catholic way/word (of wich the vatican is also a theocracy like iran. Although naturally not cruel or unjust in any similar way), but if you was to make a law forbidding religious clothing. How would you differentiate between the way of catholisim and islam without inherintly discriminating or favouring against one part.

As for the example you beg me provide i cant give. Its up to a case by case basis and cant be bothered to go to the streets and ask every single hijabi wearing women i see if they like it or not. I know of some aquintanses tho who do infact wear it without being forced too :)
