Required headgear is a symbol of extremism. Most of it is not optional.
tkathy - WOW! This statement is ridiculous. Are you claiming that Specialist Uday Singh, who sacrificed his life in Iraq, was an extremist? He did belong to a religion that mandated headgear; he was a Sikh.
Why don't you just accept it when your arguments don't make sense?
BTW, do you know that a majority of muslims DON"T wear headgear? By your weird logic, any muslim who does not wear headgear is merely a peaceful adherent of the good old ROP.
