In this image we can't relate to the statement because in some countries people don't have the freedom to change their religion or beliefs. 
In my opinion, people should be allowed to wear their religious symbols in our country because we respect others religions. Contrariwise, we can't practice our religion in some contries, because their people aren't so open-minded about it, forcing us tu use their religious symbols.
If Islamic veils are banned by law, this will be religious discrimination, because that would be taking part of their religion.
