Should non-Muslim women wear a headscarf?

When on duty in Muslim countries that have religious law (i.e. Sharia - the law that says not only that women should be stoned to death for adultery, but also carries out that sentence) many American and European service women would cater to their sensibilties by wearing headscarves. (Of course, their sensibilities must be catered to. When Muslims come to the US, their sensibilities must still be catered to - nothing about them catering to the sensibilities of the US who find headscarves offensive...)

Anyway, Annette Bening and some other female actress I'd never heard of went to Iran to give talks on making film. And of course they wore headscarves. I must admit I was shocked and relieved to ssee it was only scarves, not the full burkha that covered the entire face, leaving slits for eyes.

And, of course, the Iranians who invited them over are in trouble with the government now. (You'd've thought they'd've cleared the visit before inviting the Americans!) Seems Americans have insulted Iran in 30 years worth of film making, making them seem like a violent country with a violent history.

(Well...gee...name one country that doesn't have a violent history - from the indigenous populations on upward, people were killing each other and different tribes for being different... it's what poeple did then and its what they do today. Now the IRA is getting started up again...)

Anyway, it will be interesting to see if heads will roll on the Iranian side:
