I once posted a light-hearted question just as a joke, but it has a ring of truth to it. I asked if the habit of wearing beards and old fashioned Arab garb made terrorists, and the intolerant mullahs who cheer them on, just encouraged them to be close-minded and backwards instead of modern and progressive.

Now, that actually has some basis in fact. I believe it was Czar Nicholas of Russia who decreed that the nobility could no longer wear the long, traditional beards. He believed it was keeping people in an old-fashioned, ignorant mindset. He believed that if people dressed more modern, their thoughts would follow. (If the person refused to shave off his beard, he sent soldiers to the man's house. The soldiers would pluck out his beard hair by hair until the person relented).

It has been proven that changing the way you dress can not only have a dramatic impact on your mood, but put you in a completely different frame of mind. Nicer clothes can make people happier and more self-confident.

We would be doing these people a favor if we forbad the hijab. Even NUNS don't wear habits anymore. It's time to get with the modern age. Hijabs are just another tool to keep women feeling inferior, and to "keep them in their place".

Middle Easterners who move to the West should conform to the culture of their new home, not try to change the culture of their host country.

No... but it may be a good idea to not allow for full facial covering (just the eyes and bridge of nose visable) for security reasons.

Is this question posed to us by a perverse desire to see the pope naked?

No. Then all you do is get to call it secular when it really means vigourously Athiest.
