Lolita in Tehran Question 2
There were different attitudes toward the veil in Iran. Mashid wore it by choice for her religion, but resented its political enforcement. Nafisi suggested that the enforcement of the practice made her expression of faith meaningless. Do you agree?

In a way, I do agree. By forcing the veil on all women, the regime successfully stripped it of its religious significance and replaced it with political significance. However, I also think that religion is something so deeply personal that nobody can strip away its significance. As long as your actions have religious significance to you, it doesn't matter how anyone else interprets your actions.
I agree with James.
