First thing, I want to say that, in Islam, the prophet Mohamed never forced anyone to be muslim. A lot of non-muslim people were living in the village of the prophet Mohamed, they asked him to render justice between them, they trusted him... They just have to pay the Jizya, a light tax, as they didn't have to pay the Zakat as Muslim did.

What is a ruler who force people to have the same religion as him?

Islam is based on respect of other religion, other opinion and beliefs.

The second thing I want to point about is the place of the HIjab in Islam. I won't deny it, Allah asked women (not little girls) to cover their beauty. But, this is just some verse in the Quraan. Is wearing hijab written in the five pillar of Islam? NO. Allah asked muslim women to wear hijab, but it's not a TOP priority in Islam. The verse in the Quraan that talk about it says to show your attractiveness only to your husband, father, uncles, brothers, half-brothers,..and anyone who can't be attracted by you. So, Hijab is supposed to protect women from men eyes, not to be an instrument of submission. In the time of the prophet Mohamed, women were not evaluated by their beauty, as they hid it, but by their stenght, intelligence and willpower. The prophet's wives were stong (Khadija was a respected trader who owned many caravans, Aisha was asked questions by the more intelligents men of islam, the wife of one of Mohamed companion was a fighter and archer who had a great importance in war...)
