Why then u r not allowed to wear shirt skirts or at least not to cover YOUR head when YOU visit their countries? So, they dont respect your cultures, means, and it is ok with you? :)
U still want to be nice to them here? Not me.

I agree with u, Cloud. But i still want to say it to every muslim i will meet here. If it would be up to me i would make it illegal to cover heads in USA, just because.

It's because we have laws here like freedom of religion that they can claim, but in their countries there are no such laws. I agree with you that they are hypocrites in that they want the rights afforded to them under American law, but they do not respect any other groups' rights in their own countries.
Tentofi - Don't start lying to prove a point. It is "NOT" illegal to wear a Speedo in the U.S. Did you ever see any of the Olympic games held here? All the swimmers would be in jail if that were the case. Do some research before you come up with ridiculous statements. It's not the norm, but it's not against the law either. Sheesh.

Muslim women have every right to cover their heads if they choose to do so. Priests and parsons wear dog collars proclaiming their religion. Many Christians wear crosses. Many Jews wear yarmulkes. Mormons have the sacred underwear. If people have religious traditions, as long as they are not bothering anyone else, it doesn't worry me.
If you are visiting a Muslim country there are certain dress rules you should obey. In some cases, if you don't, you will be hounded by the religious police so it is easier to obey the rules. There are dress codes everywhere in every country. I can wear a speedo swimming costume on any beach in Australia with impunity and not bother anyone. To do the same on some US beaches is illegal. Americans don't respect my Australian culture. We all have to respect the cultures of other countries if we are visiting them. Muslim women wearing headscarfs is not against any cultural tradition anywhere so leave them alone.

You are confusing culture with religion.
We allow Muslim women to cover their head because it is part of their religious freedom to do so in this country.
To do otherwise would be to deny them religious freedom guaranteed in the constitution.
What other countries do is their business. They are not democracies and do not have freedoms like we do here.
Therefore, it would be more comfortable for us when visiting those countries to dress in a manner that does not draw undue attention to ourselves.
Another example of dressing appropriately for Christians is the Vatican in Rome.
No one wearing shorts or immodest clothing is allowed to go in.
It is considered immodest and disrespectful.
