            It is banning a religious ideal imposed by an opressive reliegion. It has anything to do with not becoming a dictatorship.

            This is how a dictatorship look like: “Iranian Enginner who protested forced hijab sentenced to 74 lashes”

              I was told that it was a ban on all religious symbols and it wasn’t a targetted attack on a minority group. Now you are saying it is targeted.

              Are we doing the “say the quite part loud” now?

              You’re still not actually supporting that claim. I guess this is what it looks like when you haven’t reasoned your way into a position.

              By the way, there’s a reason democracies tend to value freedom of religion.

                  Seriously, this is the best you came up with? Technically being Muslim isn’t banned in China either. Preventing people from harmlessly practicing their religion is also against freedom of religion.

                    1. Who is preventing Muslims to practice their religion?

                    2. Enforcing a sexist, misogynistic, ancient ideal that women need to cover their body for men to not to be tempted is in no way “harmless”
