  1. Well, probably because you were never discriminated against, which makes is much easier to act nonchalantly.

  2.  @Santello22  There's a clear difference between adding clothing and removing clothing but I'm assuming you understand that. That's why you don't go shirtless to your workplace but you can wear a coat if you like even if it's not cold... it's on you.

  3. You get bothered by someone next to you wearing a headscarf?

  4.  @MiMi-kk4qm  Does the woman in the video looks like a robber? If you are referring to burqas or niqabs then I agree, face should always be visible.

  6.  @CedarHunt  Wasn't she denied an internship because of her scarf?

  7.  Zigest  Are you comparing that with a scarf?

  8.  @MiMi-kk4qm  But there's an important distinction to be made... a scarf like the one the girl is wearing shows all her face and should be allowed, burqas and niqabs don't and those should be banned. I also don't like to be around people who don't show their faces.

  9. Sure it's anecdotal evidence, it's a matter of believing or not but it's quite fishy.

  10. I don't like burqas either but a simple scarf shouldn't make you nervous.

  11. You can in a few like Turkey for instance... hijab being mandatory varies a ton. Shouldn't be of course.

  12.  @barbyfn  Free agency in regards to wearing the hijab or not. Freedom of speech and hate speech is a whole another subject entirely.

  13. Yeah, it's a bit sad that so many people feel threatened by a scarf but hey... it's what we have.

  14.  @_lmagine  If not optional then you are defending the hijab to be mandatory for women, Iran style.

  15. Do you even know the meaning of barbaric?

  16.  @johndeerno8870  How is a scarf "savagely cruel"? As long as you're not forced to wearing it it's ok.

  17. ​ oakvillehigh That comparison is somewhat faulty. I wouldn't mind being represented by someone wearing a headscarf.

  18. Why is it so hard to accept someone with a scarf though?

  19. Most people don't care for headcarfs, typically people write in the comments to complaint not to praise.

  20. Rules? It's not forbidden to wear the headscarf in Germany, that's the whole point.

  21. But then it goes against the law.

  23. It's a scarf, not a ceremonial hat or a full attire like you posted.

  24. ​ @tristanasselin I'm used to see it as just a piece of attire even knowing its significance. Doesn't bother me and after a few times you don't even notice.

  25.  Zigest  Well, if I were to ban everyone that dresses like a fool... it's all a matter of taste.

  26. Cultural stupidity? As much or as little as not going shirtless to your workplace.

  30.  @MiMi-kk4qm  Not the same. Swimming pools have regulations based on hygiene.

  31. That would open the door to all kinds of discriminations... like me not hiring you based on your name. Just freedom of choice.

  33.  @justsaying9443  I'm more used to them so my idea is a bit different. But it shouldn't be mandatory of course.

  34. Ah, I bet you haven't been to France much... plenty of hijabs.

  35.  @barbyfn  I defend free agency first and foremost. Islam states that women should cover their hair in public so many will do so. It's pretty inoffensive. The problem appears when they are forced to use it against their will.
