Islam only asks for freedom...

America and it's allies are calling for the freedom and independence of Muslim women, yet not allowing them to wear what they want. A woman is a woman no matter what her beliefs are, and if a woman does not want to wear a certain piece of clothing, than no one in the world can make her wear it. Similarly if a woman anywhere in the world wants to wear a certain piece of clothing no one on the face of the earth can keep her from wearing it. The fact is that we wear the Muslim clothing out of love for it and no one can stop a girl from wearing something she loves.
Girls will be girls, no matter what they believe.
