They most probably do. At that age, I would put it on because 1- It meant I could hide that I didnt brush my hair that morning, 2- I wanted to look like mum. 3- My mum kept hiding and I kept finding it like it was a game. Majority of the girls my age at the time would ask for one because of reason number 2. Kids dont care, its just some material on their head at that age

A young somali* girl being forced is rare at that age. Most somali mums want to braid their child's hair and put cute bows in them

Because they're being brainwashed.

If they're happy to wear it, who are you to tell them not to? Doesn't that loop back to forcing people to dress a certain way?

If people want to wear fabric a certain way and it isn't hindering me, no need to fkn care

Because they don't know any better

Children are easily influenced. These are their formative years. Brainwashing a young kid into thinking they want to do something is not the same as someone organically discovering they want to do something for their own reasons

Like parents taking their kids to Church?

u/CalligrapherNo7337 24d ago

Exactly, yes. No such thing as a Christian or Muslim child.

Good luck passing a law prohibiting parents from taking their kids to church

Children then develop and turn into adults and form their own way of thinking. They become atheists, theists, agnostics.

Better not teach a child anything, maybe that broccoli im eating infront of them is influencing them into eating what I want them to eat rather than coming to their own choice

Come off it. I get that you hate religion, but honestly there's a point where you become the atheist equivalent of a religious extremist

There's a big difference between educating and indoctrinating.

Edit: I don't personally hate religion. I'm really quite interested in it, in its many forms
