It was a very beautifully written letter but it is quite absurd that a four page essay is necessary to teach us something so basic and simple. The wigs are not modest. They are the opposite: they are immodest. Those who make the point that head-covering as a whole may be unnecessary are missing the point: you can’t do this and call yourself modest. You want to reject modesty that is your prerogative but to point at a pig and call it lamb is just insanity. The women who complain that it is unduly burdensome to wear scarfs, etc. have been proven wrong in the last wave of Muslim immigration to the USA. They wore their head covering and went to work and made into Congress and didn’t complain.

I agree that men should not be leading this fight and a woman’s head and hair is so personal it must be left to them to decide what to do but we can’t simply ignore the blatant hypocrisy and stupidity, either.
