Chuck and KichigaiNeko:
There are millions of Muslim women in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries who walk around without covering their hair. Most of the imams don't say anything to them.
See this: Muslim women say veil is more about expression than oppression
Quote:It is estimated that about 10 percent of the female Muslim population nationally wears the hijab, although those numbers may be growing as more people convert to Islam. It's not clear how many women do so among the 10,000 Muslims living in the Pittsburgh region. But nearly all of those interviewed stressed that wearing the veil was a personal decision, a far cry from the coercion experienced by women in Afghanistan.
