To me the Hijab is more about modesty than opression. Similar to Male Orthodox Jewish atire or Catholic nuns attire. Headgear becomes opressive when it strips a persons identity so the Niqab and Burka are highly opressive. I am comfortable with that stance as being reasonalbe and not prejudiced against one particular religion but drawing a line where religion in general becomes opressive.
This law is so well crafted by the PQ because it allows them to create the Us against Them fear group that is neccessary to convince people to make decisions that are against their self interest.
I wonder if this bans all symbols like christmas trees on christmas sweaters.
On the knife issue with the Sikh religion I am okay with it provided the daggers are sowen shut of they cannot be deployed.
