Any idea why this is happening? I happened to see an interview of the granddaughter of Hitler's financial minister who is apparently leading a party in Germany, not sure about that but apparently her position is that nuns that wear headscarf can do it but Muslims can't.
What is going on? Like most of you already know I don't live anywhere near where this anti Muslim sentiments are growing but I am curious as to why this is happening
It's gender discrimination in it's purest form. When Muslim men walk next to their burqa-clad wives and sisters fully covered from head to toe, I'll say live and let live.
The "nuns cover up too and nobody complains about them" argument doesn't fly, either. Male catholics who turn their lives over to their religion - priests - also wear a sort of uniform. I grew up catholic and saw many a priest in social situations - none showed a lot of skin or wore flashy chains or anything of the sort, they all dressed conservatively, in a similar manner as the women. Not to say that women are treated equally in catholicism but this particular argument about what nuns wear is bogus.

There's also that whole "nuns volunteer, but Muslim women have it shoved onto them" thing.
Catholic women need not don any uniform at all. Show your ankles in Riyadh, though ... the muttawas will give you a love-tap or two.
