After reading this thread thaught I'd post this illustration - for burqa I do somewhat do agree with how it plays a negative role and it'll probably be good if it's banned

But if I look at the hijab Styles from up above I see no issues from a secularist pov too
except for the fact that it's a relgious symbol and some secular states differ on it - In france and turkey before Erdogan relgious symbolism was against the secularist ideals of their country

While in US, UK personal freedoms were protected and that was secularism for em

Secular Nations need to figure out a way on how they approach it - imo unlike burqa hijab causes no practical issues in day to day life thus should always be allowed

Just like in Pakistan, in India most women wear a traditional hijab of duppata, it's a traditional hijab - would Indian state consider it a religious symbol or a cultural one which'd be allowed even if they follow the Turkish, French style secularism

Iranian one looks cute, like a little red riding hood

The picture seems to have missed Indonesia, a country of 275 million people, most of whom are Muslim.

Look I don't care either way but I am bit of a sociologist and this is my observation. For non Muslim countries, its not the Hijab that's the issue. Its the public display of Arab culture conformity. Its not an Islamic headscarf to them, its an Arab headscarf. We could say this is a clash of civilizations.

Arab women didn't always cover their heads as norm before the Prophet (saws) time. It's also not an Arab custom but something which has been around since the dawn of time . Women historically covered their heads as sign of purity.

Rome;

Ermatinger, professor of history at the University of Illinois, continues the discussion regarding veiling and demure dress amongst ancient Roman women:

“… it was important for a woman to maintain her modesty and demeanour; this meant that a married woman would often wear the palla which could be pulled up over her head from behind or some other kind of veil/shawl … the clothes were there to ensure potential modesty and proper behaviour when demanded.


Assyria;

Head coverings were first written into law around 13th Century BC, in an ancient Assyrian text that mandated that women, daughters and widows cover their heads as a sign of piety. Headscarves were forbidden to women of the lower classes and prostitutes. The consequences of wearing the scarf illegally were public humiliation or arrest.

Biblical;

It was customary for most women in the ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, and the Greco-Roman world to cover their hair when they went outside the home. In biblical times, women covered their heads with veils or scarves. The unveiling of a woman's hair was considered a humiliation and punishment.

Africa;

African headwraps as we know and love them today have descended from the cloths worn by the women of sub-Saharan Africa and ancient Egypt. Furthermore, their long colourful history is both intriguing and inspiring, resulting in a wonderful representation of the culture and heritage of the African continent.
