I think it's obvious when Muslim women have chosen themselves to dress modestly rather than being pressured into it. You can see quite lot of Muslim women now wearing the hijab (headscarf but no face covering), but they'll wear bright colours and modern clothes with it. I can respect that, because I can tell that's a look she's put together herself and that she has agency in how she looks. It's not just a black curtain from head to toe, and some Muslim women have made really cool looks out of the hijab. I also don't agree with banning the hijab because, while yes it's a religious symbol, In terms of the amount it covers it's no different from wearing a hoodie or a hat in public. You've also got old non-Muslim women and Christian Nuns who wear similar head coverings, so you'd have to ban it for them too.
I don't agree with face coverings, and I would support a niqab and burka ban. I don't believe any woman who says she chooses to cover her face and have no identity. That's bullshit to me.
I was standing outside smoking this one time. This Muslim girl walked past me wearing a hijab, but then she had a low-cut top with it with her tits basically out. WTF? I'm not convinced she wasn't a real life troll tbh.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
