I'm not quite sure but I think that argument gets brought up when it's a discussion about hijab in the West but I think it's obvious that in Middle East they're forced to wear it and it's an imposition rather than a choice, just as the facts demonstrate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what GGD is turning to? Okay. 8.8 per cent of the population of France is Muslim, according to Pew Research. Going by a traditional split, that would mean that around 4.5 per cent of the population of France are female Muslims, or around 10 percent of the female population. That leaves 90 percent of the female population that is not wearing a hijab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women should be allowed to wear hijab or not wear it. It's about freedom of choice. Forcing women to do one or the other is condemnable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if you wanted to question the implications of wearing a hijab itself considering the culture it's a part of, and whether France is capable of aptly dealing with introduction of elements from that culture, be my guest - there's plenty to pick on there, but... Ultimately, the goal of any society (or at least one of the goals) should be to question, identify and dismantle harmful world views, traditions and beliefs - not to tell people what to wear It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muslims are only around 7% of the population in France. I`m just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) I do agree people should be allowed to wear whatever they want in public (as long as they're not naked) B) I do not agree Paris should be bombarded with people wearing hijabs,just as I wouldn't like people here in the city i'm currently living to make majority and wear traditional veils of my own ethnicity.It'st unnecessary and really makes city completely different culturally. C) My friends that are from Iran,Syria and UAE also agree they wouldn't like to see this kind of view in european cities.It isn't country's tradition D) Honey,I merely care to write this on GGD,let alone criticize people irl for this.I'm just expressing what i think is wrong.So you being pressed and angry that someone else has different opinion is really...dumb and ignorant to say the least E) What's your opinion on burqas ban then?Is France really open about it? Hmm Couldn't have said it better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
