[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to point out that all of the big 3 monotheistic religions have a passage in their holy text saying women should cover their hair.

I try to make eye contact and be pleasant. I think they probably get more distrust from strangers than a woman without a hijab.

I feel a tinge of pity for a woman in the full gear with only a thinner fabric over her eyes so she can see. What's the head to toe covering called? I hope the women don't feel shame for looking like women. I have never spent time speaking to one of these women, so I fully accept that my assumptions could be untrue. [/quote]

In the New Testament, it's Paul not Jesus who says that women should cover their hair. And it's while they're in church only, as a sign of respect to God, not out of fear of other men. Just saying.

The head-to-toe covering is a burka or abaya, depending on where she lives. Niqab is the face covering. The Quran does NOT instruct women to cover their faces or to dress in a shroud. The Quran only says to dress modestly and to cover the breast-hair region, and plenty of Muslim women have concluded that dressing modestly satisfies the requirements. When you see a full body veil, it's cultural, or it's imposed by the husband, or the woman is making a political statement. To answer OP's question, it would be impossible to say which one of these unless you know her.[/quote]
