Muslim Headdresses are a GOOD thing.

[HiWarp]

While driving on the highway I happened to glance over at another vehicle which was being driven by a Muslim woman wearing a headdress.  She was speaking on a cell phone which was wedged between her ear and the headdress, thereby allowing her to drive with both hands on the wheel while talking on the phone.  So, you see, the headdress is nothing more than a hands-free cell phone device.  Banning them would mean that Muslim women would have no choice but to hold their cell phones in their hands while driving on the highway.  We all know how bad this would be.  I think headdresses should be allowed, in fact even encouraged, for the sake of roadway safety.

[Dr. Dan]

Perhaps it's a good idea for all men and women to wear them!  Promotes safety while driving.

The only thing muslim attire is good for is soaking with gasoline!

Can I just ask if you mean the headscarf or the full chador thing.

It looked like a hijab not a full face covering with only the eyes visible.

Are Jewish women supposed to cover their hair as well?

This is an irrelevant rule, I have a better solution to preventing Muslim women from getting into car accidents in the U.S.  Deport them all.

Why was she out unescorted?  Was she talking to a male on that cell phone who was not related to her...

So you mean the diaper and not the tent.

Yes, the diaper.

Only married women but it is only to cover their hair, not the rest of their body. Also, Jewish women are not allowed to cover their face.

The hair of a married Jewish woman is considered to be like a private part.

Then why do nearly all of the Jewish women I see not wear it at all?
Muslim women shouldn't really cover their faces either, they aren't allowed to do so whilst praying and doing certain things....it used to follow some kind of tradition and then it spread to be almost a "normal" dress for some.

Because most Jewish women aren't religious.

Yes, the diaper.

It could also be called the towel.

Hey, enough already!

I hear religious Jewish women cover their hair by wearing a wig. Now I think this can create a paradox, imagine she looks more beautiful with the wig? Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose?

Ha-ha..   Trust me, they don't look more beautiful with the wig. Those wigs look like a nightmare...

I thought you agree with us on Islam.

Not everything. I wear a headscarf.

[newman]

Not everything. I wear a headscarf.

By choice?

[ftf]

The headscarf is a mark of slavery.

Most Muslim women say that it's from choice, but the fact is that choice is only available when there is an option NOT to wear one (where doing so wouldn't severely ruin her relationships and her reputation)  Most Muslim women don't have that option.

Here in Canada, Quebec passed legislation that Muslim women in full Islam garb can vote without showing their faces to compare with their identification...  Can you imagine a black bed sheet with two eyes sticking out as your photo on your driver's licence and using that to be compared with the same black camel cover to vote?  Good lord how Canada has declined....

Religious Married Jewish women do this, but not single ones. It's a sign of modesty.

And I disagree that the hair like a private body part. Otherwise, even religious single women would cover their hair.

The whole idea of covering one's hair once married is  fence built around the Torah. IT's a rabbinical rule and not a Torah rule necessarily.

It only becomes a private part for a married woman.

You should ask Lubab after Shabbat about whether covering hair is a fence around The Torah (D'Rabbanan) or part of The Oral Torah D'Oraita.

I'll send him a note and have him post it on this link

Actually all the religious Jews here are mistaken but you wouldn't believe me.  Nowadays all religious married women cover there hair but in reality the religious Misnagdim did not cover their hair in Europe and in the days of old unless they were in the synagague and they had a long tradition of doing this.  I have this tradition from both sides of my family who were Misnagdim and covering the hair was only done in the synogague and they thought that in the days of the holy temple women only covered their hair in the holy temple.   This Misnagdim also did not think the Sheitel was a valid hair covering in the synagague since it appears like your hair is uncovered and defeats the whole purpose of covering your hair.  The Chassidim would always cover their hair in Europe and also use Sheitels.  In order to cause peace in our times basically all the religious Jews cover their hair wherever they are (not only in the synagague) and all accept the Sheitel nowadays, even my family who is Misnagad.

I think that the real reason why islamofascist women wear burkas is to hide the fact that they are uglier than their camels.

I wish that married religious Jewish women did not cover their hair, but the fact is that 99% of Jewish legal authorities do mandate such a practice.  I personally think that it is ridiculous, almost as bad as when women wear high heels or get breast implants, or when men wear ties, but then again, my opinion is worthless in such matters.
