In the film “They Call Me Muslim,” I found very interesting perspectives. In a western country, a young teen wanted to wear a hijab as a choice. In another country where women aren’t given the freedom and rights western countries give, a mother didn’t want to wear it. What I found hard to comprehend was that France, being a “free” country, oppresses a woman’s right to wear a hijab by calling it oppression of women. I see this in itself as a type of oppression. We have fought for women’s rights for years and are still continuing to do so. It is a women’s choice if she wants to wear a headscarf as respect for her religion. This is called freedom of religion,  a right many western countries seem to be proud of.  It is ridiculous that in the 21st century, women still have to fight for their rights. For a country to call itself a democracy, it needs to respect every person, not just the ones who comply with societal norms.
