    I think i am not communicating what I mean. What I am saying is that “mandatory hijab” for public facing people such as athletes representing their country or newscasters etc can be a good thing. A funny example is like look at the womens volleyball team. One might argue that this isnt even Islamically hijab anyways lol its a symbol nonetheless. Let me just post some images and quotes and you can see what I mean for the nuance.

    I think there is some nuance here which is getting lost

      Ahh ok I was talking about the idea that wsterners have of mandatory hijab enforced on citizens at large but it seems like you’re specifically talking about the dress code requirements for state representatives ?

        Yes I’m talking about the requirements that exist for state & media representatives and such wear hijab (even if its “bad hijab”) in order to represent the country

        The French ban is not analogous at all. Like a fabrication.
