The problem is the sharia-inspired torture of women. The solution is not forbidding women to wear head scarves.

Banning scarves seems to be, like liberal “virtue signalling,” a form of symbolic deflection.

“I really hate Islam! Oh, I hate it, hate it, hate it! See his much I hate it? I’m gonna pull the scarf right off the head of that stupid bint!”

You're absolutely right. That idiot Talisker hates scarves. He's more like a liberal than he realizes, with the symbolic deflection. Lots of women wear scarves, the Muslims didn't invent them. My sisters all wore scarves, back in the 1950s/1960s when putting rollers in their hair was popular, and to keep their hair-sprayed heads intact in the wind. This guy is probably a millennial born after that time and doesn't know any better.

As for my wife, it was heart-breaking to see her cry as her hair fell away after chemo and radiation treatments. Her doctor's waiting room was full of women wearing scarves, and none were Muslim. She was in better shape after selecting some scarves and being able to go out without embarrassment of being bald. She's in maintenance mode now, getting chemo every few months to prevent flare-ups of cancer, and her hair has grown back.
