"Why do Catholic nuns dress the way they do?"
"Did you know that in the Canon laws of the Catholic church today there is a law that requires women to cover their heads in church?"
"Have you read in I Corinthians (Bible, 11:3-10) the verses that Paul wrote: 'Every man who prays of prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And evey woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head - it is just as though her head were shaved. If a woman doesn't cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved off, she should cover her head."
"Did you know that there are some Christian denominations, namely the Amish and the Mennonites, who still require women to wear the head covering?"
"Were you aware that is was the custom of Jewish women to go out in public with a head covering and that some denominations still practice this today?"
These discussion points demonstrate the obvious fact that the head cover was not introduced by Islam, but rather that this requirement has been in place for thousands of years. This can also be a cogent segue to more crucial topics such as the fact that Moses, alayhes salam, Jesus, alayhes salam and Muhammad, sallalahu allahe wa salam, were all prophets of the same God and that they each carried the same basic message. Islam corrected the errors that had been introduced into previous revelations by humans and completed the process that was planned by Allah.
