Then why is hijab compulsory in Iran, not in India, Adarsh?

Not all the men are supporting the women. It is men who created the hajib-wearing law.

No-one is forbidding the use of a hijab. We are merely saying that if one wants to wear it, one should. If not, they should not. But whether you wear a hijab or not, you should not be condemned to die for it.

@WAHRHEIT402 I am not a Muslim but it is nobody's business if a Muslim chooses to wear a hijab. You know what I think? I think that they do not really care whether or not she wears a hijab. They just want to pick on her for being a Muslim.

@Editor571 Yes, but I DID see an excerpt of film from 1979, in which the Ayatollah Khomeini came to power and women in the crowd started covering their heads. That said, TODAY'S Iranian women want to reverse that custom and UNCOVER their heads.

It is a sin to go bare-headed in Iran but the amount of make-up allowed is ridiculous.

@Priya-bt3oj Try saying that to the leaders of Afghanistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Sixth Compactor Do they? What about women beaten or arrested for going out without consent from a male relative? You may say that they have all freedoms and must just obey religious etiquette. It is not just the hijab,it is what goes with the hijab: long sleeves on hot days, not being allowed to go out alone without written permission from a male relative, beaten up for even talking to a man to whom they are not related and other things. Is it freedom to arrest someone just for showing her hair and then murdering her for it?

It seems that the whole world hates Islam and Muslims.

The Americans could not stay there forever. It is not their homeland or their culture. A country is supposed to help itself and Afghanistan does not. I mean, after World War Two, the Russians, the Americans, the Canadians, etc. left Germany and went home. The part that the Russians entered turned into East Germany and the part that the Americans and Canadians entered turned into West Germany. None of the Russians, Americans or Canadians stayed in Germany; they went home. East Germany became poor and communist and lived like that until 1989, when the Berlin Wall was demolished. Now, there is no sign of the poverty and communism in East Germany. Germany helped itself get rid of its former borders. Afghanistan remains stuck somewhere in the Middle Ages and refuses to help itself. It does not "get on its bike." It allowed itself to get bullied by the Taliban. Now it is reaping the results.

But why are the women cutting their hair?

@cantescape4310 That is no worse than the long-haired gits who permeated our society in the 1970's.

@whocares3132 Where in their Holy Book does it say that women have to wear hijab? It may say that women should dress modestly, hut it does not say that they must wear hijab. There is a difference.

Have you seen how much make-up some of those hijab-wearing women wear, James? That tempts men more than the hijab. That said, if men are tempted by the sight of a bare-headed woman, it is the fault of the men, not the women, if they cannot control themselves.

That goes to show that it takes only one person to set a ball rolling. If Mahsa Amini wouldn't have rebelled against wearing the hijab (but not necessarily have beenkilled for it,) there would not have been those demonstrations.

They can do it in the West. Heaven help them if they tried it in Afghanistan.

Norway and Sweden are long countries. They have plenty of room. It is not like the natives are squeezed out of their homes. I think that this persecution of Muslims is just like the racialism towards people of other religions.

Not all of them try to change the host country with their rules. Some get attacked just for wearing a hijab.

@realfact5420 The trouble is that there are several branches of Islam that fight each other, e.g. Sunni versus Shi'ite and vice versa. The same is true of other religions: Catholics and Protestants fighting each other throughout history, eve though they are both Christians. One Muslim country may be Sunni, the other Shi'ite. We do not know.

@tywinlannister8999 History is a very bloody subject. I am not swearing. I mean that the borders of every country in the world were defined by blood.

@MoizCOUK Unfortunately, there is a handful of prople intent on destroying everything that they see as " corrupt." (Remember the Muslim fundamentalists who destroyed those pre-Islamic statues in a Muslim country?) It is only a small number of people, but that small number of people stirs up hatred that tars all the other followers of their religion with the same brush. If that tiny number of people would not vandalise everything that they see as "depraved," the locals would not see them and their followers as evil. People are entitled to follow their religion but they are not entitled to stir up trouble in their host country.

Then they should change places. People always think that the grass is greener on the other side. There is more to Islam than just wearing the hijab. Women are not allowed to go out without written consent from men; if their husbands die, the children do not go to their wives, but to the husband's family; there is strict gender-segregation in public places and many men would kill other men even for talking to their wives, so those who wish to don the hijab are letting themselves in for a far harder life than they imagine.

There is more to the Western world than women just flashing their bodies. There was a time when Western women were also treated more inferiorly than Western men, but, thank goodness, that society in the West has since moved on. Some parts of the world do not recognize this improtance.

@wingedhussar1453 Afghanistan is also not an Arab country, so it also shoved Arab culture onto its people.

@Theopenminded It can also be fatal and I speak as a person whose religion prescribes it.
