How many viewpoints for the Muslim Head Covering?
Topic: Muslim HC
Based in Cairo, Egypt, this reporter does a fair job of trying to show most all of the sides in the debate over veils, including discussion of face veils, recent history and opposing Muslim viewpoints regarding the debate between modesty or politics.

But there are also penalties for stating your opinion. Just ask these people who spoke against the head covering, from Turkey, and Germany.

Islamophobia & Europe : 4 Articles
Topic: Face Covering
In today's articles, we read how seeing that veil, especially the niqab (full face covering) is a truly discomforting thing, both inside and outside the veil.
First, from the inside, by a first-timer: The veil: Too obviously hidden.
And from "Counterpunch.org", an observation article about: European Islamophobia.
An article concerning the European bans on Muslim clothing is also included: Europe draws battle lines.
Finally, an opinion article in the Calgary Sun which includes the recent and various news stories about head coverings and veils: Judging people at face value. In this article, Licia Corbella states that "Veils have nothing to do with religion but everything to do with freedom," and points out that covering the face is the problem.

Meanwhile, in Australia
Topic: Muslim HC
The BBC reports, with the rest of the world, on the contiuing story of the Muslim leader who compared uncovered women attracting men to uncovered meat attracting cats, in: Sydney Muslim cleric seeks leave. As this leader tried to convince his Australian Muslim audience of the importance of covering up what might incite a man to do something stupid, he made a few errors in judgement, which has led to a huge amount of press. His health is suffering, and he seems to be considering stepping down from his post.

Why Start this Blog?
Because there are people in the world who have a thing about having their physical head covered, and these people are from a variety of backgrounds, there must be something to it. Does this sound like a weak argument for keeping my head covered? Possibly, but to the unspiritual, even the concept of God sounds weak.

I do not think that covering the head is something that is specifically Christian, Muslim or Jewish, but is an international phenomenon, as I have found by reading various articles and websites regarding hats, turbans and headcoverings for cancer patients.

Look for articles, links to websites and illustrations. I might also put in my own 2 cents from time to time.
