In 1936, Reza Shah Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran instituted Kashf-e Hijab, forcing women to 'unveil'. Many faithful Muslimat chose to stay in their homes for years, not going outside so as to not be forced to unveil in public.
Women who went outside in hijab or chador were physically beaten by the Shah's police and stripped of their dress in front of everyone. Homes were broken into by the police and searched for all veils to be confiscated.
Men also were forced to wear western clothing, with traditional Iranian clothing being banned by the government.
Now in the West, many are pushing for their governments to do the same again, to force a ban on veiling. In France, niqab is entirely banned, and hijabi are discriminated against.
It is important that all faithful stand against this blatant persecution, because it will not end at banning the hijab. If they succeed in forcing Muslimat to unveil, then they will push further and further.
