      Some women do because it’s considered Mustahab, they do it out of a desire to get extra credit from God. Others do it because they want a sense of privacy, as in they only show their face to their family.

      It’s sometimes hard for non-Muslims to grasp but they want to be judged based on their ideas and speech and not by their looks. A lot of western society won’t take women seriously if they don’t put makeup on or dress a certain way, and this is pushing back on that mindset.

        Women are taught since childhood that if they don’t cover themselves they will go to hell (basically), so when people say “they are not forced, they do it because they want”, its because they are taught if they dont do it, they are going to be punished.

        You wouldn’t send a kid in a bikini and makeup to school, right? So why is the other option not wrong too?

          Again that’s not true. Go talk to some Muslims before you just repeat false stereotypes.

          And even if that were true that people do things for their religion, why is it your business? Are you going to force us to eat pork, like some French far right extremists are calling for?

              Is that what this has been about in your mind? We can’t freely wear what we want because you want to force your politics on others?

                Politics? I dont want to be beaten up or killed on the streets because in holding hands with my partner.

                You calling it politics shows what you really think about homosexuality.

                Glad of the decision of France and hope more west European countries follow them.

                  You’re being needlessly hyperbolic. You can hold hands with men in literally any and every Muslim country out there. It’s absolutely normal. But it’s quite telling how the false stereotypes in your mind work.

                  Sexuality is your hot button issue and religious freedom is mine. You’re demanding your opinion be respected while insulting mine. You’re fine with trying to force others to agree with you while I’m merely for letting people be free to wear what they want. Somehow you view that as a threat? Wearing longsleeves leads to homophobia in your crazy mind. France is only hurting itself and causing more conflict, you need to learn French history better to see how badly this will end.

                    A lot of Muslim countries have death penalty on homosexual, what are you even talking about?

                    Im not insulting you in any way. Dont compare the lgbt community to your religion. We are really fighting for freedom. You are fighting for women opression and punishment of homosexuality. Period.
