These are hardly religous symbols and more analogous to a dog pissing on a tree for territorial purposes. They oppress muslim women and treat them as property of muslim men.

Maybe my message was distorted by the metaphors I used.
A dog pissing on a tree is its way to mark one's territory. The headscarf is used by the fundamentalists to keep women under wraps and hidden from others.
Now, I can see that at first glance (dog and pissing) would imply me being offensive, but I disagree that I was speaking like a bigot towards the muslim population. I had meant to show my distaste towards the oppression of muslim women by relgious fanatics. If any other message was derived from my statements, then feel free to ask for a clarification before jumping to ignorant conclusions...
