MODERATORS
Because right now and in Europe those are rather rare. Afaik there's some Christian groups where women always wear long skirts, but those groups tend to get called "cults" ("Sekten" here in Germany) so I don't really see a double standard there.
That said, there are surveys regarding why women wear hijabs and - at least in Germany - those say that the vast majority wears them voluntarily.
So were Muslim women wearing Burqas and yet several countries have made laws against them. So the rarity of the oppression doesn't seem to matter that much.
But regardless, if this is a legitimate problem, then the law should be secular and apply to all religions.
