The video discusses the controversy around the wearing of hijab in various countries. In Iran, women are fighting against the imposition of hijab, while in India there is a debate over whether or not hijab is an essential practice in Islam. In Dubai, however, it is considered acceptable to be respectful of women's choice to wear or not wear hijab.

• 00:00:00 Iranian women are protesting against mandatory hijab laws, and one woman has died as a result. The protests have grown in size and scope, and Vice President Joe Biden has spoken out on their behalf. While the protests are still ongoing, it is unclear what the future holds for them.
• 00:05:00 The video presents protests in Iran, where women are protesting against mandatory hijab. Some women have cut their hair in the middle of the street in front of thousands of people, an unprecedented act. Some men are also in support of the protests. The male population agrees that the injustices against women have been rising in the name of religion. Iran has blocked the internet as the protests grew, as the authorities lost control and authority if the protests were to be widely broadcast. Now Iran president says death in custody of Mahsa Amini will be investigated. How hardcore religion can affect a person was demonstrated by Christine Amanpour when she sat for an interview with Iran president but he did not show up as she was not wearing a hijab. This shows how much more conservative and hardcore Iran became. Now the point is, do women have their own choice? Where is it written that if woman does not wear hijab then she will be arrested or terminated? In which religious text is this written? I know YouTube has geniuses so please comment and let me know. Where does religion dictate what we eat, how we dress, who we marry, etc. Is choice word non-existent? Wherever fundamentalism increases choice decreases? If men are so out of control they should be wearing dark
