          It’s only banning in the workplace, not an outright ban.

          There are plenty of Muslim females I have worked with who never wore a hijab in or outside of work, so if it’s no issue for them, why should it be an issue for these women?

          How does it help the issue though, I have no idea.

            It’s only banning in the workplace, not an outright ban.

            Well, it’s a first step, isn’t it? The more Europeans don’t give a shit about freedom and democracy, the more we vote for rightwing extremists, the more we will be ready to put a crescent on the clothing of Muslims, don’t you think so.

            Who would fight for their freedom, you?

            so if it’s no issue for them, why should it be an issue for these women?

            Because women are individuals, even Muslim women, who would have thought.

            And we’re living in a culture that celebrates itself for protecting the freedom and the rights of the individuals.

            Sounds kind of crazy, doesn’t it?

        And who are you to tell what’s other people choices and what not. That’s unbelievably arrogant.

        Wearing jeans (or any other iconic piece of clothing) isn’t your choice, it’s just normal where you grew up. You just adapted to the culture you live in. You’re just a conformist. Or a ‘Spießer’ as we say in German.

        And this probably isn’t limited to dress codes. How about ideas, ideologies, worldviews different from yours?

        If Muslim women no longer wore headscarves because they weren’t allowed to, how would you recognize the oppressed people you want to “liberate”.

      See, now I know you either just didn’t read it or didn’t understand. It applies to all religious symbols, not just a hijab. Can you argue it’s unfair to non western religions like the above commenters? Yes and probably should. But what you said is wrong. They are not “banning something so petty like the hijab”.
