Some women do because it’s considered Mustahab, they do it out of a desire to get extra credit from God. Others do it because they want a sense of privacy, as in they only show their face to their family.
It’s sometimes hard for non-Muslims to grasp but they want to be judged based on their ideas and speech and not by their looks. A lot of western society won’t take women seriously if they don’t put makeup on or dress a certain way, and this is pushing back on that mindset.
Women are taught since childhood that if they don’t cover themselves they will go to hell (basically), so when people say “they are not forced, they do it because they want”, its because they are taught if they dont do it, they are going to be punished.
You wouldn’t send a kid in a bikini and makeup to school, right? So why is the other option not wrong too?
Again that’s not true. Go talk to some Muslims before you just repeat false stereotypes.
And even if that were true that people do things for their religion, why is it your business? Are you going to force us to eat pork, like some French far right extremists are calling for?
They don’t can women from wearing them - just children that usually wear whatever their parents want them to wear without having a choice.
It’s about making a conscious decision while also removing as much religion from schools as possible
It doesn’t end in schools, the far right is also banning them from government property and fining women who cover their face in public.
Why would women want to cover their face in public?

Im going to force you to accept homosexuality, yes.
Is that what this has been about in your mind? We can’t freely wear what we want because you want to force your politics on others?
Politics? I dont want to be beaten up or killed on the streets because in holding hands with my partner.
You calling it politics shows what you really think about homosexuality.
Glad of the decision of France and hope more west European countries follow them.
