She's not wearing it because she thinks women have a specific duty to be 'modest.' That idea I object to.

Quite. Being raised to believe it's sinful if you don't combined with threats if you deviate skews 'willingly'

Or even not combined with threats. Here younger generation more likely to wear niqab than parents.

Because elements of younger generation have a more fundamentalist faith. Older generation may disapprove.

Yes, that too, although parts of UK where niqab has long been commonplace, plus women banned from learning English

Yes. The right to choose is a clear moral right. But it's not the only one.

If the choice were made outside of a framework of shame/sinfulness/threats (and Western media encouragement)

We agree on the choice aspect. I also want to talk abt right to criticise ideas that are freely chosen.

Too many ppl think choice is only issue but you can criticise ideas on their own merits too.
