I must admit, just last week I was thinking how beautiful women were with a traditional Hijab on or any head covering. From my perspective I only saw beauty. It's a touch of color when traveling through New York City.
Even on the news if there is tragedy- I think the women are so beautiful, even covered.
"Protest ... An Iranian woman posted this photo of herself taking off her headscarf, writing 'Hoping for the day when all my nation’s women can taste freedom with their whole bodies and souls.' "My Stealthy Freedom آزادی یواشکی زنان در ایران
For some this is a freedom song.
and yet for others to wear a Hijab is an either expression of their religious beliefs or a fashion statement, or both.

Some have fought to have the right to wear their coverings in France and in Canada.
Please note that while I celebrate with those who wanted Freedom from the Hijab, at the same time I do respect and in a way admire those who chose to wear it for their own personal Religious reasons.
Hence, choice is the deciding factor: we must all have Freedom to choose what we wear and why we wear a headcovering or not.
No one should be forced to wear one thing or another, as if owned as a slave. So let's celebrate the Freedoms found for some and do remember that respect is also important for those who do wear one.
