A woman's right to wear Hijab

In Denmark the debate about the Muslim hijab has reached a new high.

Especially due to a very brave politician by the name of Asmaa Abdol-Hamid, the discussion of hijabs in public office and in court houses is raging.

It seems to me that women in feminist circles are much divided on this issue, and so am I. On one hand I completely follow the argument that a woman's right to wear a head-scarf for religious reasons is untouchable. On the other hand, many a feminist would call the hijab a very powerful symbol of the suppression of women.

Since we cannot know for sure which women put on the hijab for what reasons, what solutions could there be to a conflict of this kind?

Ibelieve we should accept people as who they are& that mutual respect& acceptance of our diversity,,that what made us humans
Iwish if people start to think about women who wear hijab as normal free-well women who had taken the choice to wear the hijab them selves not forced by any one or by their traditions .
women who are very talanted ,intellegant and active ,gie us the chance to live because this hijab is covering our body not our soul. I wonder why people can accept anacked women but when comes to hijab as if we commited acrime .
Iam muslim ,Ieven covered my face but this is not an obstacle in my way,I am proud of that but also idid not hate ,judge or disscriminate other women

"I feel unsafe every time I leave my apartment and I sometimes wonder if I would enjoy more freedom and peace of mind if I wore hijab." I'm with Renee, I wondered that often too, but what kind of freedom do you have if you have to hide in order not to be harassed. I think of religion like Thomas, a tool of patriarchal society (I mean even god is male!) so I do want to respect the right to everyone's individuality, but even the premise of wearing a veil as a means to protect women is revealing of how much women have to fear from men. And they shouldn't.

I believe this ongoing debate forces us to accept oppressive narratives as normal. We are seeking out imbalanced solutions, assuming that one who covers in hijab does not relate or take part in feminist movement. We also assume that the current voice of feminism speaks for all women. We all hold the right to cover in any manner that feels comfortable or uncomfortable, how one holds their spirit and physical being in safety, beauty and love is just not debatable
