That’s not how it works. I know multiple Muslim women who wear headscarves and abayas without anyone pressuring them to do so. Blanket banning that is taking away their rights; where does it end? Do we ban all marriages because some women are pressured into one?
How many Muslim children have you spoken to? Seriously? You know nothing.
Kids want to imitate and be seen as adults; which is why Muslim boys want to grow beards even without any prompting and Muslim girls want to wear hijab because it’s also a sign they’ve matured. Sikh boys want to have beards and turbans for the same reason, and conservative Jewish boys want to have facial hair or a payess.
To these kids, you’re telling them they can’t look like their families in school and have to suppress their religion and culture. You’re singling them out and putting all the burden on them and not putting the same burden on the non-minority children. That’s the wrong way to do it.
You genuinely don’t know that and are making assumptions. Talk to some Muslim families before you assume that’s how everyone is. Kids often proudly like to dress in cultural or ethnic clothing and since it’s start at a certain age they want to as a mark of maturity. It should be about choice and you seem unwilling to accept when people choose to wear things.
Again you’re grossly overgeneralizing 2 Billion people as if we’re all alike. It’s still wrong and untrue. It’s like claiming Mexicans beat their wives or something. That’s just not the experience I’ve had after decades of living in Muslim communities. I hope you learn that someday.
Again, you’re falsely assuming Islam is monolithic. I’ve read the entire Quran in both English and Arabic, please show me where the Quran says to kill people who become atheist. I’ll wait. It says God won’t accept it but there’s no earthly punishment listed.
And dude, I converted to Islam, so your condescending attempt at insult doesn’t work.
That’s not what 2:54 says. Also that’s not at all what history shows. The city of Medina was under literal siege from the Meccans camped outside the city’s barriers. Anyone who publicly left Islam went out and joined the opposing army, so at the time they were executed for treason, not changing religions. Learn your history better, ask any history department rather than an anemic English Wikipedia page that lacks more Arabic sources.

They don’t can women from wearing them - just children that usually wear whatever their parents want them to wear without having a choice.
It’s about making a conscious decision while also removing as much religion from schools as possible
No children is choosing to wear it.

If an adult wear provocative dresses or adult clothes, you would not let a child dress like that because their parents do.
All religious items are banned in schools in France, so just because you are minority, don’t give you the right to not follow what others do.
