Muslim women should have a choice, but it does remind me of a funny story.
My Mum to my Grandad when she was 13 growing up in Pakistan: I don't want to wear this hijab anymore, it's too hot and uncomfortable.
Grandad: What?!! I thought you wore it because you wanted to?
Mum: I used to, not anymore.
Grandad: OK
Mum: OK
It didn't change my mother's commitment to her faith though. I think a lot of the western world thinks women who don't want to wear the hijab also don't want to be Muslim, so seem to be going into overdrive to support them.
