Ann, just a point I'd like to bring up on the headscarves thing. To you, a hijab is a form of oppression for women. To many Muslim women, however, NOT being able to wear a hijab would be a form of opression.

I liken it to if someone told me I couldn't wear my crucifix somewhere. To me, that inhibits my right to religious expression. I'm not harming anyone by wearing my necklace, just as these women are not harming anyone by wearing hijabs. It's just what they believe they should wear.
