at the time ---women cover the head---stuff was written in the bible---
it was considered really GAUCHE in GREECE for a grown woman
to be out of her house with her head uncovered. The romans aped
the greeks. It was the MODE of the time. When I was a kid----I
would not enter the public library wearing pants------or go to a synagogue or church without white gloves----IT WAS THE MODE----way back
then. Fashions of dress change. Fashions of ETIQUETTE change.
Remember when respectable men went NOWHERE without jacket
and tie?
And how is that different than the hijab?
The whole point of religions are to provide a code of ethical conduct, especially when it comes to sexuality.
Since the head covering for women is in the Old and New Testament, then it is also part of Judaism and Christianity, just like Islam.
The fact Jews and Christians do not follow their own religion very well, is not a reason to prevent Muslims from following theirs.
