Women

Hijab, among muslim today, is often equated with piety, both by those who cover their hair and those who do not.
Unfortunately, too many assume that a woman who covers must naturally be more religious or conservative that one who does not. This generates expectations and pressure on Muslim women in hijab , whose behavior is held to different standards, perhaps undesired on the part of the woman.
On the other hand, according to popular opinion, the Muslim woman who does not cover her hair (even if she is otherwise dressed modestly) has not quite arrived at the perceived goal of all righteous believing women.
The scarf, an article of clothing, has sadly become a litmus test for a Muslim women faith and devotion to God.
Indeed... the importance which some Moslem's have attached to hijab has made some sarcastically refer to it as the "Sixth Pillar" of Islam, on par with prayer, fasting, alms-giving, pilgrimage and bearing witness to the oneness of God.
Quite interesting here since.. hijab actually conditioned on it's origin country demography which is hot weather and much dust.. quite difficult to imagine :)
