Hijabs shouldnt be mandatory but a choice. I say this as someone who while they dont wear a hijab veils and covers their hair in public and tends to dress modestly out of choice. And no one should be killed for not wearing one. Also peaceful protest should be allowed.

I'm encouraged by protests against her killing.

I want to get excited over people expressing outrage over the morality police, but I can't get far enough to see if it's an outrage over this particular event or more towards the moral cops in general.

Another example of why we should maintain a separation of church and state. Religion and politics are a dangerous mix.

"The theocratic regime in Iran has since 1979 systematically forced women in Iran to dress according to these rules which are used by the regime to control them.
To ensure that women abide by these medieval rules, the Iranian state has the brutal morality police at its disposal. Women who do not follow the hijab rules are persecuted, tortured, and murdered, like Amini, in order to maintain the survival of the regime"
