I think this might end up being a dividing issue for feminism/human rights -- I find that hijab is really pushing my sense of what is morally "okay" in terms of an individual's religious/self-expression rights. I've heard the thoughtful arguments, but at the end of the day, I'm just too Western-thought based to be convinced. If we value logic and freedom above all else, how is it okay to teach girls to cover themselves? It just feels inherently incompatible with everything I morally value.
