Do you think there is any significant difference, between a nun who chooses to wear a habit, and a Muslim woman who chooses to wear a hijab, apart from their different religions?

Yes, there's a vast difference as I mentioned above. It's not about "choosing", it's about whether or not the patriarchs in a Patriarchy dictates what is "correct" and what is not, usually using interpretations of scripture.

Has anyone in this thread, concerning Amazon defending a book about Paedophilia, supported any "society dictating what other groups should wear, how to look, and how to behave, based on their own religious beliefs"?

I'm not sure what you mean. It seems
you are defending the likes of nguirado's rights to dictate what other people can wear, read, behave, show, based on
his religious morals.

What do you think about Phillip Greaves' arrest?

It's an arrest. It doesn't mean much in itself, other than it shows how a sherif in sleepy town can get people extradited by baiting people. If anything, the arrest itself shows a problem with the judicial system.
However, when he has had his day in court, and some facts are on the table, instead of some religious morals in horror over a book, then I will form an opinion on the actual judgement. An arrest in itself by a local sherif really doesn't mean much, to be honest.
