And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful"

I can be wrong but this is my opinion and I believe in it.
The people wearing headscarf are exercising their basic rights that is solely on their own discretion and I believe no one shall dictate whether should or shouldn't any person wear headscarf or what color trousers or shirt or skirt to be worn otherwise it would lead to demonic nazi state dictating the rights to any individual.
