As you said, my analogy holds if muslims don't have to wear a headscarf. I have read that even Muslim scholars argue on whether or not this is a requirement by Islam, so I won't even try to approach that. But I see your point.

Let me put it another way. She's not entering a religious place. In other words, the courtroom did not require her to wear a head scarf, her religion does. My belief is that she should have to respect the law. That doesn't mean she doesn't have a civil liberties case.

This isn't about fashion or oppression.
