Clearly, I was arguing about whether someone who demonstrates "courage" should be praised for doing so no matter whether one approves of what they are doing that requires courage.

The debate started with me saying the Left does not praise right-wing commentators for their courage in saying things they disagree with, why is that?

I said the Left was defending extreme notions of women's need for modesty as something that had to be "respected" when it came from Muslims, and those who followed that requirement were to be "admired", while ridiculing and condemning similar concepts in Christianity.

You replied that they did not, they just admired their courage, and then came this exchange, asking "don't you admire women's courage for wearing the headscarf"?

My reply said sure, but is it a good idea to praise people for the courage of doing what we disapprove of, e.g. ...?
