Yeah, I’m not really understanding where this idea that every muslim-majority country has “morality” police, or mandates all women (even non-muslims) to wear hijab, is coming from???

No. The majority of countries with a large population of muslims don’t force women to wear the hijab.

I’ve literally lived in and visited more than a dozen Arab countries, and it’s not uncommon to see non hijabis everywhere.

More Muslim women are punished for choosing to wear the hijab, actually.

More countries (or at least regions of a country) have bans or restriction on hijab, then countries that mandate hijab.

In fact, many muslim majority countries actively try (through media, tv shows, movies, etc...) to subtly (and often not too subtly) spread islamophobic messages, and most of the dictatorships in the Middle East have an islamophobic agenda.

This is not me saying women who are forced, or live in the country where they have no choice shouldn’t be heard, or that it’s “not as important” because they’re the minority, I’m just saying stop spreading false information.

I’m seeing way too many people be far too comfortable equating Iran and Saudi Arabia with every other Middle Eastern country, which makes no sense.

People are really out here acting like the word “Middle East” or “Muslim-majority country” is a synonym to Iran, when it’s not the case.

#what’s happening in Iran is horrifying and NO ONE should be supporting or praising that disgusting government #everyone should be against what's happening and what HAS been happening to women in Iran for decades #but some of y'all really need to stop acting like western muslims 'tricked the world' into believing hijab is a good thing because most #women don't have a choice #when that is just a blatant lie #hijab #pro hijab #islamophobia #I censored Ir*n so that it doesn't appear in the tags #so it doesn't take away from what's going on #layl.text
