#2 This is interesting. (other than women being treated like chattel which should be on the front page of the NYT)

Anybody got the low down on the practice? The article pins it Sumerian, which is pre Islam? Is it cultural, religious, ottoman empire traditional?

Dunno.

#3 I haven't followed all the details, but there certainly is evidence that headcoverings predate Islam.

For instance, the headpiece of traditional Christian nuns' habits go back to the headdresses that women habitually wore in the middle east when Christianity and monasticism were new there.
