Her first response against hijab was correct, but eventually she learned to spin the veil as a symbol of --- get this --- "social justice." AND, she teaches at Hah-vahd.

It is mentioned in the article that hijab is sometimes worn to demonstrate solidarity with Palestinians, a nice way of saying to demonstrate open anti-Semitism.

and here I thought this was going to be about something completely different, perhaps for the Catholic group, because I was kinda thinking about getting a veil or something.

In this youtube of a performance by Oum Kalthoum (circa '50s - '60s), the beloved Egyptian singer, you can see at about 3 minutes in a view of the crowd including most women in complete western dress... no veil.

[huldah1776]

A woman should cover her head while praying, or at least not cut her hair, “because of the angels.”

I Corinthians 11

When I pray, I wear a hat. I usually wear a hat when I go to church, but not always, and when I bow my head to pray I put my hand on my head if I am not wearing my hat.

Why would I want to offend the angels who are obeying God in answering my prayer for protection?

Just saying.

I think its worn cause the females are too lazy to get dressed and comb their hair...
