Well to be fair I didn't say it was 'just' the muslim religion, but the conversation started about the movement in Iran so this particular conversation is in fact about that religion.

No disrespect to you personally but your post reminds me of that little moment of embarrassment when some people say oh I like Ann as a housemate but I don't agree with her views. Or when politicians say I voted remain but I support Brexit. As if its some dirty little little opinion that I support but have to make clear 'its not really me'.

I have no racist views about any people, I'm talking about the specific point of children at primary school wearing religious uniform in school and the hijab in general. Why do people do that little embarrassed disclaimer thing?

I'm not comparing Nazi's to Muslims, I'm comparing wearing racist paraphernalia to the misogyny of thinking a little girl has something wrong with her that she needs covering.

I'm asking why one is unacceptable and the other causes this awkward well we can't condemn muslims? I have never once said 'all muslims are bad' etc. I have said that forcing little girls into religious uniform is giving the message they are somehow tainted and need covering. What is wrong with that?
