I knew a female student in Istanbul university so many years ago who looked as modern as can be. When there became some strong tension between islamic far right students (for example - male students refusing to give way to female students in corridors and rooms) and the modern students, there were female students who finally admitted that as soon as they finish in the university, they will cover their head to fight for the cause !!!! rather a strange reason to cover !!! not fanatic of course !
You may be wearing blinkers also MrX if you truly believe there is no political agenda to "some" woman covering their heads !!!!
However, I do agree that there are many reasons for covering up.
For example, my in-laws cover the heads but they ABSOLUTELY HATE the ladies who cover in the political and fanatic style. My in-laws think this is wrong.
This surely proves that even amounst Turkish ladies who cover their heads also feel that fanatics use this as a symbol.

35 years ago there were plenty of strong secular bureaucrats and many intellectuals around; there were many moslems too; but there was no turban...
Somebody else probably started it, no?

Oh MrX - I have a feeling that I misunderstood your previous post. I thought you were talking about the critics of the headscarves wear blinkers - that is why I said maybe you also wear blinkers. Now I see in your post above that you mean, many people here are blinkered !!!
Oh blinken' henry - this gets confusing. 
PS: blinken' henry is a phrase from old time England, something like saying oh damn - but I don't like using damn, I prefer tatlı phrases like the old ones !!

to Alameda:
I take it you have Arabic origin and well versed in ways of Islam. Can you pls confirm whether or not, I am correct on following two points.
1. "Turban" as worn by some ladies of Turkia now, was a popular headgear among Jewish ladies of Lebanon, about 40-50 years ago.
2. Islamic tradition (maybe, even Quran) requires Moslem ladies not to dress in a way that may lead to their confusion with followers of another faith.
