The hijab is the 'flag of Islam", represents Muslim life, scorn of Western Civ

Iran: Majlis Speaker says Iran defies West on women rights

Oh God. Just read it all - it's making my head spin but this neatly sums up why the hijab should be banned IMO:

"... the hijab (Islamic dress) is the “flag of Islam” and represents “Muslim life” and any woman who wears hijab it means that she has scorned Western way of life."

Just more women's rights Iranian style.
