My question was, "Do you object to these groups: the Catholic and Anglican churches, and their habits?"

My question was, "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?"
You seem to believe that
all Muslim women who cover their heads with cloth are forced to do so.

It's a simple enough question, concerning something that
you wrote. So, why would you assume that I am defending
nguirado's rights to dictate something that
you wrote. Surely, that would be illogical.
What I asked was:
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"?
Those words in italics were written by you, not me or nguirado.
You appear to be making assumptions about someone else's religious beliefs, based on the actions of some fundamentalist groups of the Muslim religion, and then applying them to the religion as a whole. That seems illogical to me. It's like attributing American Christian fundamentalist values to all Christians, or Zionist settlers fundamentalist values to all those who practice Judaism.
When you say, "... the likes of ...", it sounds like you are making a derogatory comment. It implies that you think
nguirado's rights differ from anyone else's.

My view is, Phillip Greaves is innocent unless he has been convicted of committing a crime.
