Hijab is similar to the Confederate Flag. Pride for some, oppression symbol for others.

Even today millions of girls are 'forced' to wear the hijab every single day in public in places like Saudi Arabia and Iran. You can't find a single person without it, otherwise they have to face the consequences.

Read about 'my stealthy freedom' campaign.

Then you're included in your own statement. After all, you just claimed to be liberal. So, where are you from?

I don't consider Democrats as Liberals. If you support Islam and say it's like any other religion, you aren't a true Liberal.

Who said anything about democrats? You said liberal & leftist. My god, you can't even keep your own posts straight. What a joke. You can end the "I'm an immigrant" act.

This thread has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia or Iran. Those countries are THEOCRACIES. They are also sovereign nations. The United States cannot tell them what to do. The United States is also a sovereign nation. Saudi Arabia and Iran are not telling the United States what to do.

The hijab is a head covering. Just like the white coif of a nun's habit is a head covering.

Just like the Confederate Flag is no longer any other flag, same for hijab. Pride for some, symbol of oppression for others.

Nothing you've said rebuts that.

Women are forced to wear it. It is a symbol of oppression for millions.

I believe its a two way street, immigrants also need to take steps to assimilate into the local culture.
"Need"? That's a choice. It's a choice you made for yourself. Others make other choices. "Vive la difference!"
