That is a very good question. Objection to the hijab is not based on Christianity. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't understand, and therefore, don't like the customs of other people. I have spent quite a bit of time in Islamic countries, so I have seen women wearing head scarfs. In Morocco, I saw some of the women wearing the veil. I never had a problem.
A lot of people are afraid of things that they don't understand. They are just basically insecure. When they see a woman dressed in hijab, they assume that she is probably a terrorist, or she may try to stab them if they speak to her.
I am serious. People are funny. They get nervous around anyone who is different than they are.
This has nothing to do with Christianity. If they were good Christians, they would accept the customs of others. When I was in Iraq, Morocco, Kuwait and Qatar, the Muslims put up with me. Shouldn't we do the same?

1. The veil mentioned in 1 Corinthians was a head covering, not a face or body covering.
2. Women who had been priestesses in the pagan religion had peculiar practices relating to how the wore their hair while worshipping -they would be unveiled, hair all messed-up, sometimes shaven off. The Christian women, in contrast, were to be modest, not drawing attention to themselves in public worship. Paul, throughout the letter to the Corinthians, seems to be addressing the disorder and chaos in the Corinthian church. The timeless principle is to be modest in worship; the specific cultural method for the First Century Corinthian church was to wear the normal head covering of the average, modest woman.
3. Paul goes on to say in verse 15 that women have a covering -their long hair.
4. Verse 16, Paul refers to these practices as "custom". There are still a few churches where women wearing hats is still the custom, but for most it is not. Hats are not a sign of modesty or propriety in our culture today.

Do you observe that each one the examples are ordinary movements, following the regulation. you observe, Christians follow the bible the position it says we are now now to not stay less than the regulation, we are to stay through religion. Romans 4:15-16 John 16, that the comforter will stay interior believers. only a Spirit can stay interior someone. also sure the Spirit develop into already there, besides the indisputable fact that it develop into not residing in the believers yet. So, sure the comforter is the Holy Spirit. maximum heavily, Muslims do not believe who Jesus fairly is. Jesus is God the Son. John a million:a million contained in the starting up develop into the be conscious, and the be conscious develop into with God and the be conscious develop into God. He develop into with God contained in the starting up. perfect the following it says that the be conscious develop into God. The be conscious all of us comprehend is Jesus. how are you going to follow someone you do not believe? Matthew 20:18-19 Jesus suggested.. they're going to condemn Him to lack of existence. and could hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. on the 0.33 day he will be raised to existence! The Quran denies the very words of Jesus!

thats why I cut my hair, (notice avatar) LOL. Still christians do not stay in the darkages. Christians know that God talks to his creation and that God can bring shame to those that uncover themselves too much, if a Muslim does not think that Allah can talk to a women personally and have to inforce a dress style on them, then that is sad. we as christians believe that God talks to both men and women, and that God will make a man feel shame for lusting after a women and a women will feel shame for dressing unappropriately.

And who wrote 1 Corinthians---the christian god? No. Paul did, it was a letter, and as is much of the new testament, it is his own personal beliefs and opinions. So why pay any attention to it?

Yes, but you must know that they are supposed to do it for different reasons according to the NT. Like some Orthodox Christians do it in church -- but not outside of it since they aren't praying.
There are other examples in the OT too.
Just look at Mary and what she wore!

It also states that when Jesus died on the cross, the veil was ripped.

all of these scriptures refer to a woman's head being covered--nothing about covering our faces or shrouding our bodies as if we were dead or mummified.

that's a hat sparky, not a full face covering.
