@melomaniaahh Did you even read what you wrote before you posted it? So, let's first acknowledge that you were completely wrong in your previous assertion. The one you deleted. You were wrong. In your ignorance, you said things about Islam that are unequivocally false. So, now you've moved the goalposts to... this.
No, they can't "force" her to put it on, they can't physically shove it on her head or manipulate her hands. But she is religiously, legally and morally compelled to, or she'll be punished. She has the machinery of the Iranian regime and its morality police pointed at her head. The Iranian government literally killed Mahsa Amini for exactly this. "You choose to be imprisoned or die by not putting on the hijab that is we made obligatory" is not the moral high ground you think it is.
Iranians themselves are fighting to be free from this tyranny. Iranian women are risking arrest and even death by removing their hijab, and you're sitting there smugly with "no one can make her put it on" in defiance of everything that's going on, in dismissal of how many people have suffered and died, not just in the recent revolution, not just in Iran, but all over the Islamic community, including but not limited to acid attacks - over this oppressive, religiously driven slut-shaming culture? Because that's what it is. A woman who does not hijab is a slut, and deserves whatever happens to her.
https://quranx.com/33.59
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
Do you know what "abused" means in this context? Raped. It means raped. A woman who does hijab signals her Islam to others, and her compliance with sexual purity culture for the purposes of maintaining her virginity until she's married off. A woman who does not is fair game. Because Allah does not afford her protection from "abuse" (i.e. rape). You're making excuses for rape culture. Actual rape culture.
But congratulations on not just celebrating female objectification, but providing cover, again, for right-wing, conservative, fundamentalist religious purity culture.
By the way, nothing I've said is "hating Muslims." Opposing Islamically obligatory hijab is not "anti-Muslim," it's pro-Muslim, because it's pro-humanity. Muslims themselves are the greatest victims of this regressive objectifying, barbarous cult. I will despise Islam as much as I please without any guilt whatsoever.
Holding up Muslims as a human shield to protect Islam from criticism - the thing you did - is what's anti-Muslim.
