I will be attending the Ligonier Highland Games on September 11. Hijab would be inappropriate.
Besides, frankly, while I would fight tooth and nail to defend a woman's right to wear it, the idea repels me. The Koran tells women to let the ends of their headscarves hang down to their bosoms, in other words, don't show your cleavage. Sage advice. It does not say wrap yourself up in a piece of black cloth and make yourself a non entity. I find the whole hijab thing offensive. I remember seeing a little Muslim girl, she couldn't have been more than 10, trying to play while wrapped up in one of those things. She couldn't move. I hated seeing that.
