I have nothing against headscarves purely as a clothing, but I have a lot against organized religion they are more often than not a part of. As it stands, it's a symbol tightly connected with systemic oppression and countless crimes against humanity. In this regard I find the two mentioned groups quite similar. It would be nice to decouple the symbol from its current meaning, but I don't think we have such a luxury.
We can to go one step further: Muslims don't get to systemically oppress and then complain about being systemically oppressed. I believe we are done here.
You already know my answer and I know yours. I believe we can leave it at this.

As I belong to a group outright killing which Islam considers fair game, I don't find it particularly ironic.
