sith, why should it be necessary for anyone either men or women to cover their head, unless it's to keep the rain off with a hat, or even the sun. seems a strange way for any religion to behave. Telling people how to live their lives, what to eat, how to think, what to wear, i can't see how that is right in any way.
I now live in an area which has become predominately Muslim, where the majority of women are covered head to toe, wearing the burkha, hijab, but the menfolk go around dressed in western clothing mostly, seems a hypocritical religion to me, then again i feel the same about most organised religion. Catholicism being in the frame for it's appalling stance on birth control, and physical and sexual abuse from some of it's priests and nuns over the years.
