What Is Your Favorite Style of Head Covering?

What is your favorite style of covering? Amishy kapp style, Muslim-like head scarf, bun cover, veil, or another style? If you feel comfortable explaining, would you explain why you wear a particular style?

Thanks! :)

Muslim Head Coverings-Bans and All

Before I start rambling on here I want to get one thing straight: I respect Muslim women in their choice to wear any form of head covering, hijab or niqab, even if I don't agree with it. I don't hate Muslims, for Yahweh tells us to love everyone. Now, onto my post.

Some of you are probably aware of the Muslim face veil ban in Canada. ( Here's the first woman to be jailed for wearing one: Woman Jailed for Wearing Islamic Veil ) I haven't formed my entire opinion of it yet, but here's what I am currently thinking: Toy masks are used for robberys, why not ban them? People talk about the niqab and burka " When it was introduced, he said the ban was aimed at stopping criminals – from terrorists to shoplifters – disguising their faces from security staff and CCTV. ". I know that they can be used in robberies, or used by terrorists, but something's missing here, and I'm not sure I know what. I'll figure that out later...

Also, I believe people have been given a misrepresentation as to why the Muslim veils are put on. I know some Muslim women are undoubtedly forced into wearing one, but aren't some Christian women also? I find it strange that when I type in " head covering " on the Google search engine under News, all I find them talking about is the Muslim head coverings and face veils. Why not the Christian ones? Why aren't stories about Christian girls in schools not being allowed to wear a head covering being put on there? In my personal, biased opinion I think the world focuses entirely too much on the Muslim head and face coverings.

Just my two cents. Comments? ( Muslim women please come forward too and comment if you wish )

My Thoughts on Muslim Head Coverings

I wanted to convey to my readers ( where ever on God's green  Earth you may be ) my thoughts about wearing a head scarf but looking like a Muslim.

First, I have nothing against Muslims. I do not hate them.

Looking like a Muslim isn't necessarily a " bad " thing, but I think for those of us who cover for religious reasons, we convey a certain image to the world. You can ( most of the time ) see someone with a kapp ( an Amish/Mennonite head covering ) and know she is most likely Amish or Mennonite. Just like when you look at a burka clad woman, she's most likely Muslim ( though I have seen some Christian women don a burka or a face veil ). Here are my reasons I don't want to look like a Muslim.

First, when I don a head covering, when people look at me I want them to know what " religion " I follow ( It's a relationship with Christ not a religion. ). I don't want them being confused.

Please don't think I'm judging you if you're a Christian woman and wear a face veil, these are just my personal feelings about it.
