"But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.
"For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels....If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God." (1 Corinthians 11:3-10,16)

It is the tradition of the old Church, and many denominations today, for women to wear head scarves. It's in scripture.

The Church states:
The moral law requires all women to wear the veil on their hearts.
A woman should not wear the veil on her head, until she is wearing it first on her heart.


I'm not saying you're wrong concerning censorship, or that Islam is beyond criticism, but head scarfs are harmless and an actual effort to become closer to God. Burkas and genital mutilation, however...
