Braveheart, I really do not care for such things. My reply was to Mr. Balaord who was trying to justify the same.
One of the enduring memory of childhood is of little muslim girls going to school wearing Green skirt, cream coloured shirts & wearing Green coloured head-scarves. Though I find it difficult to appreciate the black-veil (probably because it was an alien thing in my childhood), I do not differentiate between muslim women wearing head-scarves and those wearing other types of dresses.
