Head covers also known as Head ties have been worn by females:
since evolutionary times ....and was NOT confined to any single Religion .
In Guyana the afro non muslim females has been wearing those forever !
They can also provide good balance when fetching that quake or whatever it is called ::LOL::
[/quote] I have a confession I aint got nuthin against the Hijab or the Burka , women should dress modestly instead of like sluts in the west
Absolute load of nonsense. I have no issues if anyone chooses to wear hijab, but clothes are no indicator of anything. Not to forget how hijab is forced on many women (not all) as a tool of male dominance and patriarchy. So I call bull on that.
Oh, and for the record, I did search everywhere for the quote, and it seems fabricated. Give me authentic sources like popular news websites, or even a video. Oh and when I searched, I came across this:
Quote:Like most Yemeni women, Karman used to wear the full face-covering niqab but she dropped it a few years ago when it began "getting in the way" of her activism. She remembers unveiling in public for the first time, minutes before stepping up to deliver a speech at a human rights conference in Washington.
"I discovered that wearing the veil is not suitable for a woman who wants to work in activism and the public domain," she says.
"People need to see you, to associate and relate to you. It is not stated in my religion to wear the veil; it is a traditional practice so I took it off."
Now Karman wears just a headscarf. Today, she wears a long plain black abaya with beaded cuffs and a pink, flowered scarf. On other days, she dresses head to toe in bright pink.
