I wonder if all the Muslims here saying "women should be dressing whatever they want", also protest the same in muslims countries where women are killed for not covering their hair.

The majority of people killed during the Iranian protests were men.

That said it is possible that the original commenter was being sarcastic.

Logic is the difference.

Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan claim Sharia law is what they rule based on. You go to these countries you expect that to be the factor of what you can and cannot do.

Other countries? They say they are democratic and they claim freedom of choice, however, they decide to restrict something like face covering for no apparent reason. And that's the problem.

The logic also doesn't makes sense as it is not clear when and where people can and cannot ware face covering. The niqab is just a piece of cloth. Are we banning people from wearing masks and big massive sunglasses? Are we banning people from wearing a head scarf ?

Would a female waring a black face makeup and fake hair would be fined ? What about Clowns ?

What exactly the point if it doesn't affect other people?

For me all i see is that men deciding on e again what a woman should or shouldn't ware and in fact this makes it worse than a religion based countries who at least are not hiding their intentions.
