#3 "Islam sees hijab as an obligatory code of dress, not a religious symbol displaying oneâs affiliations â unlike the symbolic Christian crucifixes or Jewish Kappas."

Um....since when? Wasnt this "made" "obligatory" in the 70's? What are the origins of the hijab?

Agreed--No hats means no hats. Why the constant assertion that the rules don't apply to muslims (rhetorical)?

#4 Obligatory to keep women from feeling equal to the insecure little men of Islam

#5 Hijab made the scene in Lebanon and Iran as political statements. There is no mention of it in the Koran as far as I know. Any claim that it is required religious garb would then be false. It's being used as a Trojan Horse.

Im confused - Kippas (not Kappas) (also called Yarmulkes) are NOT symbolic displays - they are REQUIRED when praying - which is not a once a week thing, but comes up before and after every meal for a fully observant Je*w, among other occasions. And since there are some occasions that can come up unexpectedly where a blessing is required, most Orthodox Je*ws consider head covering at all times to be mandatory.
