Non compliance = consequences. Alienation within the Muslim community being the norm (and least physically tortuous).

I agree Urmstongran, it is about the power men exercise over women!

Women should get to wear what they want

If a woman chooses to wear it, respect her choice

If a woman chooses not to, respect her choice

It's simple

But is it her choice? Some choices are not what they seem, they are the result of lessons taught by parents since nursery. If you believe that is what you must do then you do it. Then it is no longer a choice, it's a compulsion.

And you have seen what happens to those who choose not to 'make that choice'. Punishment.

Why doesn't this surprise me they celebrate everything that's alien to Britain

Wait till Labour get in. It will get 100x worse.

Should clarify.
It’s the Home Office Islamist Network. (HOIN).
Who even knew such a subset existed?
Me neither.

A doctor friend of mine refuses to wear one. Her more enlightened father, who actively encouraged her education, said it was ‘nowhere in the Koran. It’s about control by men over women. Just dress modestly’ he told her.

A Muslim woman once told me that she despises women who cover up. She said it's a hangover from living in the desert.

And the young woman who received 72 lashes across her back for refusing to wear the hijab, even while she was beaten.

Posing the question, “Why do some Muslim women wear a Hijab and others don’t?” The network answered: “It’s a personal choice and being a Muslim means constantly striving to strengthen your faith (Iman). Different women are at different stages of their spiritual journey.”

Maryam Namazie, a British-Iranian human rights activist, said the internal message was disconcerting, promoting Islamic rather than civic values.

WTF?
Let's not forget the young girl beaten to death in Iran for not seeing the benefits of the Hijab.
