Vmakunhi - 'moreover hijab also gives women an air of authority, dignity and respect which a non-believer can never claim to possess'
I really, really take exception to this assumption of yours. What about well known women in world history like Marie Curie, Princess Diana, Florence Nightingale, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth, Maria Callas, etc, etc?? Did these women not possess authority, dignity and respect? Or simply by not wearing hijab, they did not??
COME ON!!!!!!! How can you possibly believe this?
It should be a matter of personal choice, pure and simple. End of story. I know this topic has been discussed many, many times and will continue to be discussed - we all have different beliefs and opinions and should accept that. By saying that hijab protects women from assault is simply just not true, and you must surely know that. Are you seriously telling me that women who wear hijab are never assaulted? Why is it always the woman's fault if a man attacks her - oops sorry, she's using her 'feminie charms'. Not the man's fault for not being adult enough and responsible enough to control his own actions.
