To be fair though, a woman wearing a hijab doesn't seem bad. It's just clothing. But the disquieting idea behind it is the concerning part (forced upon by a violent ideology). If, say, Buddhists or Taoists were wearing hijabs by choice I would actually condone it.
I figure people have the right to wear what they like, but I expect the same right. So no problems from me over who wears hijabs, burkas or whatever, but trying to force me to wear those, or anything else I don't want, big problem.
