Four of those photos are indoors. Muslim women don't have to wear head coverings indoors.
Traditional Muslim women perhaps. Modern progressive Muslim women don't follow the old rules, Hammer. Ever been to Indonesia, Malaya, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the central Asian Republics? No, I wouldn't expect so, you've never left your Mum's basement, have you?
An overwhelming majority of Muslim women in the world wear one form or another head covering when it public Brian. Many countries 99.9% do. Don't make stuff up your jet fuel sniffing old fart.
So, you've never been to any of those countries then, Hammer? How unsurprising. Go out in Jakarta or KL or any of the other big cities and you'd be quite surprised at how little the women wear. However, you'll never leave your Mum's basement, will you? Tsk, tsk.
Believe what you want Gomer. I never said some Islamic women don't wear head covering. I'm saying an overwhemling majority do. Try to keep up.
Never ever met a modern, progressive, Muslim woman, have you, Hammer? You ever met any women other than your Mum? How about this Muslim woman?

I take it then that you know her identity, Hammer? What is her opinion on traditional religious Muslim dress for women, Mmmm?
She is the tiny minority, Bwian. They would probably stone her in most Muslim countries. Eros - sounds like a Greek name, what?
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation yesterday named a Muslim woman as its newest candidate for the upcoming New South Wales election.
Emma Eros, a mother-of-two and businesswoman was recruited by state leader Mark Latham to run as candidate for the seat of Hornsby. Mr Latham last week announced his state platform of “banning the burqa” in airports, banks and other government buildings.
Ms Eros, who runs a plumbing and construction business in Sydney and was raised in western Sydney by Lebanese parents, holds strong views about the burqa and niqab. She has said she backs Mr Latham’s views that the religious garments need restrictions.
“I am a believer that one needs to show their face,” Ms Eros said. “Any government building, anything like that, that’s relevant to identification then yeah, bloody hell, remove it.
People are abusing that freedom of religion that we have in this democratic country,”
she told the Daily Mail.
She went on to describe commonly cited religious reasons for wearing the garments as “lame excuses”, “bulls**t”.
“They’ve said to me, ‘I don’t have to do my hair’, Well, you’re completely lazy.
“Some have said, ‘It brings me closer to God.’ Well, I’m sorry, God is everywhere.
...
Ms Eros has been outspoken about her beliefs about traditional Islamic dress in the past, and says
her views have resulted in her receiving death threats and people telling her to “hang herself”.“I just don’t think it’s necessary to abuse the freedom of religion when it’s not a religious obligation to cover your face,” she said. Ms Eros also said Islamic women who make the pilgrimage to attend Hajj in Mecca were required to show their face. “If the birthplace of Islam is not demanding a full face covering by wearing the burqa then why should it be expected or demanded to be worn here?”
Ms Eros clarified she doesn’t mind if Islamic women wear burqas or similar items in private, but backs the ban in public buildings. “I don’t care if they wear it in their home. I don’t care if they’re wearing it going to their family’s house, driving somewhere,” Ms Eros said.
