The right wing is pushing specifically for the banning of things like the hijab or other religious head coverings usually worn by women. They justify it by saying that these head coverings are a symbol of oppression against women, and have no place in a free society.

Thing is though, how free is a society if it feels it has to dictate what women can and can't wear?

That's the catch 22 isn't it.. "You're not free to dictate that women must wear a hijab, because we are dictating they can't wear one."

However, this is only legislating public workplaces not everywhere, so it's less dictatey than Islam.

There have been plenty of efforts and attempts to ban hijabs completely, in different European countries at different times. The debate started probably around the time the first Islamicimmigrants came to Europe.
