Men wear Hijab in Iran in support of womem
Huffington Post reports:

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_579a56...e15eb4f9b0

Quote:Men in Iran are snapping selfies in hijabs to protest the compulsory veiling law that requires all women in the country to wear them.

...

Iranian journalist Masih Alinejad launched the social media campaign #MenInHijab to encourage men to play a role in supporting women’s rights and advocating for change by posting photos of themselves with a headscarf.

But apparently:

Quote:“People outside of Iran have reacted [to the campaign] by saying ‘you’re ruining the face of Islam’ or ‘Islam doesn’t actually force anyone to wear a hijab.’ We have to educate them. In Iran, it’s compulsory. In some other countries [wearing a hijab is] just a cultural norm,” she said.

“There are people who say ‘this is a cultural issue, we shouldn’t get involved,’” she added. “No! This is a human rights issue. We have to talk about it. We must not be silent.”

So it sounds like those ignorant Wahabi-Salafis in the West are butthurt that their narrative of Hijabs are great and are never forced upon anybody is being compromised.
