[quote=Anonymous]Driving from NYC to DC this weekend I saw a billboard, clearly aiming to convert Christians to Islam, with a statement along the lines of "they all veil for the same reasons" and pictures of Mary, a nun, and a veiled Muslim woman. Nope. The Quranic passage is about how women should draw their shawls across their chests to his their beauty. Jesus said nothing about veiling. The passage in St. Paul's letters about veiling brings in some complicated reasoning about how God is the head of man and man is the head of woman, and then winds up with "but if you must know, here's what we do here re veiling." Lots of people think that Paul's letters are more pastoral than to be taken literally, anyway, and that last bit about "here's what we do here" certainly tends to suggest that.[/quote]
