It is so funny !!! Correct me if I am WRONG but for a muslim woman the point of the headscarf is to "hide your adornments" and those women who CHOOSE to wear them say it is because of their deep faith. So please can someone tell me why these pictures show women with make up so thick you could scrape it off with a trowel, and jewellery???

Surely both jewellery and makeup are an adornment and accentuate your features, such as eyes. These women are merely covering their hair, but sexing up the rest!!!!! lol

It seems to me that it is less about deep faith and more about doing what you are told and trying to break the boundaries

I thought it should be Allah's reason...and why does it not apply to tight fitting clothes and make up in Turkey?

I'll definitely watch that vid when I have some more time. I really wonder what motivates a non-muslim to cover up!

An interesting post this, and one that my fiancee and I have been talking about whilst I was in Izmir over the last week.

Although she doesn't wear a head scarf, she has no problem with anyone that does as long as it is done in a religious way, the rest of the body is covered to hide the female shape (a better way of putting this escapes me at present), but those people that wear a headscarf whilst wearing, not necassarily tight, but clothes that would certainly not hide "lumps and bumps", she truly dislikes. To the point when we went into a shop looking for a suit for our wedding, she couldn't wait to get out because the girl serving us was wearing a headscarf and a figure hugging wrap.

Headscarf seems to have become a fashion statement. So if the shop assistant hadnt' a had headscarf, but wore a figure hugging wrap, she'd have felt comfortable? Interesting.

Yes, because she believes the wearing of headscarves in this case is purely political motivated and a breaking down of the secular system within Turkey

So it's a political protest.

HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT

God was distributing women among his favorite prophets.
The first to chose was Moses, the senior prophet: he took all the pretty ones.
Second to chose was Jesus. He picked up the intelligent ones.
Poor Mohammed was the last, he turned to the remaining ladies and said "into your burkhas, turbans and veils...quick!".
