They're not just taking off the hijab, they're not wearing head coverings of any kind.
The Koran just says to cover your hair and dress modestly in public, which is why more moderate Muslims just wear scarves on their heads rather than the whole walking-tent hijab thing or the beekeeper-looking burqa thing. These ladies aren't even doing the scarf thing. Good for them. It's like the old timey 70s Muslim version of feminism is making a comeback.

Actually, the face covering type of hijab, like the niqab or burqa, is very rarely seen in Iran and mostly occurs in Arab minorities and not really among the majority Persian population. Most people in Iran wear a simple headscarf or the indigenous chador which is like a scarf/cloak but still allows the user to leave their face uncovered. The chador actually predates Islam and goes back to at least Achaemenid times were it was a sign of status (servants were not allowed to wear it).
one day they may became like this

Egad! Women doing what they want and not caring if men disapprove!
Where'd they get this idea that they're some kind of individuals? It wasn't from me.

Poor Syed...still enslaved by such conservative ideas when they are Muslims who are HAPPY! You have probably never heard of the Muslim founded movement "Honesty Policy", Syed.

Frankly, no.
What _I_ would want is for all peoples all over the world to jettison oppressive, obsolete religions that teach hate, shame or bigotry, so that no one is subject to purely religious-based rules or expectations of conduct.
Then ALL women can go topless.
I mean, now that you mention it, that's what i would want.
Why not? What's wrong with topless, if it's the woman's personal choice? Other than sunburn or grass stains on some of those women....

I gotta admit, I find this to be much more appealing and innocent than scenes and videos of insane Islamic Fundamentalists stoning and beheading people.
Which do you like better Syed?
we are not talking about osama bin laden

How about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?
I really don't know what you're talking about, Syed, except for your usual taking the slightest thing all the way to the worst possible interpretation.
Some women make a choice you don't agree with, then they might as well be whores.
Should we, then, take that any Muslim might as well be a head-taking terrorist? Just to keep up?

But I didn't ask you anything at all about bin laden, did I Syed?
Why not just reply to the question I actually posed rather than introducing a strawman.
Which is the more offensive to you, viewing a woman's wholesome and natural form, or viewing insane religious murders and beheadings performed in the name of Allah?

I am French Syed....my hometown is on the French Riviera. Being topless on our beaches is not an issue in my country. Was born and raised in Africa until age 12, Syed. Saw naked breasts from the time I was a young child. Not an issue.
The alleged evil of exposed breasts is in the eye of the beholder, Syed.
How about asking what each of the women living in that country wants? Muslim or not.
Why not leaving to themself to decide?
OK ... I don't know if you've ever enslaved anybody before, but this is a really horrible way to dehumanize a group of people and thus allow you to morally justify dominating and oppressing them.
I have to say that your post is giving me serious doubts about your level of commitment to evil.
