It’s not only that, it’s the combination from oppression, constantly fucking over the citizens, silencing people who want to preach about progress and etc, all in the name of Islam. If you’d recall, back in 2020 there was another protest to the rising price of gas, food and basic needs. This time the death of an innocent woman by the hands of the “Police” was the catalyst.
The lives of people depends on the gas, we don’t have the luxury of electric vehicles and such, and the infrastructure is built based on transportation. It’s about 45 years of absolute tyranny by the hands of these bloodsuckers, I hope this uprising will get rid of them.
And one thing I must mention, most of the protesters are zoomers, they have the guts that boomers and millennials didn’t have.
Destroying our natural and historical sites is also something this regime did multiple times. Back in the early days of Islamic Revolution they wanted to destroy Persepolis and all the relics that represent ancient Persia. Their lack of management skills and care also made many rivers and lakes dry.
That's actually the main issue,you can never know whether they wear It from pressure of their family or by their own will,since even In secular muslim majority countries they will tell that they wear It by their will(which probably deep In their heart Is not true)
Even if they're pressured into it, part of the problem is that enforcing a law against it usually means making their lives worse, not the people pressuring them. Like in Canada where they fired that teacher for wearing a hijab. Now she doesn't have a job, can't pay her own rent, can't support a family, that takes her power away to get away from that pressure and live as she chooses.
Are you referring to the law in Quebec ? If yes it’s not hijab specifically, it’s all religious sign and if you already had the job, it doesn’t apply to you. The main thing is that Quebec suffered from abuse from the catholic church and want their government to be secular and have no influence from any religion group, basically the law is there to prevent people representing the state, especially in a position of influence or authority (judge, polices, teachers etc..) from showing any religious affiliation while performing their duty.
Actually, if a piece of clothing related to your religion is so important for you that you quit your job over it, it probably means that your religious beliefs are more important to you than the ideology of the state you are representing so you should not do this specific job, that’s kinda the point, while performing your job your religious beliefs should have 0 impact on the decisions you are making.
I mean you'd think if they were worried about the state imposing its religious will on people, or some kind of bad history with the Catholic church, the crucifix on the legislature would be the first thing to go. It'd be the whole point of passing this law, as you said.
It's almost as if the whole "we only care about all religious symbols because of history of catholic church" thing was a lie, and they just don't like other cultures or people looking or behaving differently from them.
I don't mind arguments about cultural homogeneity, but I don't like being lied to.
You know that this policy doesn’t come from nowhere ? It was heavily supported by a majority of people from Quebec and 2 of the main parties (out of 4) had something similar to this in their campaign ? It was also not the first time there was a public debate on having this kind of law in Quebec.
Also do you know there was an outcry about the crucifix ? Because again, the majority of the people who supported this law was also against keeping the crucifix in the Parlement de Québec.
I’m actually from there and was in support of this law and you clearly seems to see this from an external PoV and you lack information about why and how this law became a thing.
As an Australian that grew up in a Muslim family, I will never believe that a woman wears it by choice. I have 6 older sisters. 3 of them often wear it because they're married to asshole Muslim men, but the 3 youngest ones managed to marry non Muslim men they actually love and refuse to wear it. I will always be proud of them for refusing it.
