I would if their religion had been compulsory and so had their dress code. Fortunately Catholics have a choice about following that religion, but any woman who marries a Muslim doesn't..... unless the man has been brought up by a free thinking family like Julie's nephews have.

Actually Annie very few nuns in the UK wear the habits anymore .
However if they got a job which which required no headscarfs they would have to take them off.
What values to you think the headscarf represents ?

If you are brought up in a religion then it's compulsory at least until you are old enough to make your own decision

I can't imagine either of them dictating what a lady wears, but I have to say that's the same for many many Muslims, it's usually the women insist. One couple I know almost split up over it. He didn't want their teenage daughter wearing it but mum did.

Muslims are more complicated than some people believe IMO

I assume you can't think of any values so just a sound bite then.

I've said to the ladies at work they should market them better, they all jamb a phone in the folds round their face and can work and even hover while chatting to Pakistan ! Market them as a pretty mobile phone holder and people might feel less antagonistic to them.

Surely a compulsory religion with compulsory rules, isn't a faith in their god? Faith comes from your heart and mind... not what somebody tells you to do, when fear prevents you from objecting!
This. Exactly.
