Ramin jan, what do you think if someone makes "an educated (and not logical) decision" to walk down the road completely naked in the middle of Paris?
Or another who makes such a decision to wear a swastika on his arm?
Can such people advocate for their rights too?
What we have to understand is that France has a culture with unique customs and traditions, and face covers are not a part of that. What if you find that most French people are actually quite insulted to see a woman wear a face cover the same way as he is insulted to see someone wear a swastika, the same way many moslems find it insulting when a woman walks in their country wearing a mini skirt and a revealing bra?
The difference is that in France and Britain people are told to not say anything, they are fed this stuff about diversity and rights and they are constantly told that they have to live in multi-cultural societies. No one ever asked them if they wanted to, did they? Not as far as I know.
I have no problem with hejab in France or anywhere else. But I do have a problem with complete face covers and I am not bothered by repeating it again and again and even campaign against it.
Of course they should have the right to advocate and fight for their rights Behrooz. I mean, we even have sanctioned KKK parades here, and the majority see them as idiots but they still have the protection of the law to express themselves.
I'm sure that the majority in most of these countries are also offended at seeing people with mohawks and septum piercings too, but it doesn't mean that those things should be banned.
Frances traditions and cultural values are not set in stone. They are determined by the people that live and work there, including those that wear Hijab. And as far as people "asking them if they wanted to", this is something that they have brought upon themselves. They went into a bunch of countries (Africa etc.), fucked those countries over, went on a guilt trip and started shipping the citizens of those countries to France without any idea on whether their current and future economy could handle the influx, and tried to force them to assimilate while most of them couldn't find jobs or money to support their families. So yes, they were asked about it. Now they have to deal with the fact that a large part of their population (CITIZENS, that have just as much right to be there and live the way that they want as others) doesn't completely agree with the old school idea of "french culture" and "identity".
And trust me Behrooz, if it was about asking the majority about who should stay or go , you and I would be packed on a plane and shipped back to Iran. This is not how a free country is supposed to be. This is not liberté, égalité, fraternité.
