The biggest clue of how wrong you are is that the number of Muslim women in Canada who wear the hijab or some other religious garment every single day of their lives everywhere they go has risen to over 60%.
I suggest that is the biggest clue of how wrong you are. Go out and ask those women why they wear the hijab. Is it religious compliance, is it cultural, is it fashion, or is it to identify and show their pride in their own background especially as it has come under attack from many quarters in recent years. Go to the university campuses and take a close look at those women wearing hijab's and tell me if the rest of their dress and mannerisms is in compliance with these religious teachings you often tell us about. Many of them are also wearing tight sweaters, skinny jeans, high heels, and are engaging with their fellow classmates (males as well as female) in very open manner. I would say the hijab is much more a statement of their heritage, a statement of fashion, and a statement of themselves more than it is some symbol of subservience.
