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.
