YOu know, I kind of support lifting the ban of the hijab. It's not . . . ethical to stop people from showing their belief.

Wearing a hijab is not a way of showing one's belief. Not in Turkey. It's ten times more a way of showing your political standards than showing your belief. It has been so for the last half-century. It's a political toy that people make money off of.

That being said, it is also not an order of religion; at least, not the Turkish adaptation of Islam--it's an imported tradition from the Arabic world, from the world of the Sheria Law, from a world that is as distant to these people as the world is to the moon ( ... )

I don't support it either, but I think women who want to wear it have the right to, just like I believe Jewish women can wear a hat/wig/scarf and wear a skirt and have her sleeves down to her elbows. I don't support it, but I also don't object it. {Remember that Judaism has at least three 'sects', and we have them all in Israel.}

I swear to you, a person who doesn't wear a hijab can be more religious and believing than another who wears this sort of hijab or goes even further to wear a black sheet.

Don't I know it; the most religious girls I've met are those who wear pants and short sleeves. But if the clothes are part of her belief, who are we to stop her from dressing that way?
