A law under which the majority of the people are already deemed criminal has only one answer: resistance to its enforcement.

A culture accepted within a society never needs to be turned into law. The only reason to place such conduct under criminal law is that the prescribed cultural behaviour is alien to the general culture and is not widely accepted.

What is alien and rejected by society here is not hijab itself, but its compulsory imposition.

You cannot transform this compulsion into the people’s choice through gentle language, nor through force and criminal law, because changing the method through which coercion is imposed can never transform it into free choice.

Women are the final key to the transformation of a society’s consciousness, and they shape the intellectual orientation of future generations. Conflict with women can have no destiny other than defeat.

If you continue to strike your head against this stone, with each generation you will inevitably find yourselves more alone. Heavy criminal laws will not turn your minority into a majority.

By insisting upon the language of compulsion and repression, you will only become more estranged from society. Be certain that in your struggle against women you will never prevail, because to struggle against women is to struggle against the spirit of life, and life will ultimately prevail.
