Both are not mutually exclusive debates Asim, be that they may be temporally diverse.
Freedom to wear a piece of cloth when it comes to the veil sounds a lot like harking back to the days before India abolished child marriages.
At that time, you would be hard pressed to find a kid bride who would have the guts to stand up and say that it was not what she wanted. Sati savitri an all that. Freedom of a pre-pubescent kid to get married to an old fart with one foot in the grave. By divine decree and socially and religiously acceptable.
The veil for muslim women is no different. As long as modern society does not abolish it legally, it will be near impossible for a muslim girl to buck the trend.
She will then necessarily have to live with the veil as part of her "free choice."
After all, what are her alternatives? How about you being honest about that as a continuation of this debate .....
Its funny you choose to quote a leader of a nation that has no compunctions about selectively stamping on the liberties of its own citizens when it suits them to do so.
I can quote examples. So can you I'm sure.

Fundamentally we have to always fall back upon that freedom is more important than security.

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
