    A wise woman once said: "If nudity is a choice, why not modesty". Live and let live.

    Nothing is more stupid than being terrified by a piece of cloth.

    My mom couldn't go to school when she was young because of her hijab. She's 46 now and going to college. I'm proud of her.

  • @lopattike
    Most secular countries in Europe doesn't ban hijab...why Turkey think they are secular when they banning hijab? BTW thanks to Erdogan, hijab banning finally being lifted.
  • Salute to those womens who protested against this so called secularismic thing
  • As a son with mother wearing headscarf, the ban era was the most disgraceful period Turkey had. My mama was expelled too from university in 90s
  • @sadafrehman4095
    When Turkey was throwing the women with hijab out of institutions then no body talked about the freedom but now lifting that ban became a threat to freedom..!!! Dual standards

    West: everyone should be able to wear what he or she wants. Muslim woman: yeah lemme try out this headscarve. West: thats opression of woman. Muslim woman: But i choose to wear it myself out of free will. West: No you cannot choice we choose for you.
  • I wear a headscarf when I’m reading the Bible, praying and in church, as instructed in 1 Corinthians chapter 11.
  • @zeylasacli1641

    Makes me glad that my country’s constitution (Malaysia) clearly states that Islam is our official religion. We didn’t have to face the awkward situation of having to discriminate against our own majority faith. I feel pity for my Turkish sisters.
  • @huntbycam2535
    If a a women could walk half naked on street why a women can't cover hersef, illogical discrimination.
  • @djkhan6085
    Turkey even changed its written script just to be like the west. The west didn't ban the scarf but Turkey did and that's a shame. Being 90% Muslim they still did that. Its basic rights what ever to wear be it scarf or western dressing .
