Islam tells women to cover heads, says head of religious affairs office
Islam undoubtedly requires women to cover their heads, Turkey's head of religious affairs said yesterday in a statement that coincides with the current discussions on lifting the headscarf ban in universities.
�As long as a woman says �I am a Muslim,' she should cover her head,� Professor Ali Bardakoğlu, president of the Religious Affairs Directorate, said in an interview with the private NTV channel.
�Discussions on the necessity of wearing headscarves or head coverings are of a legal and political nature. In religious terms, there is no doubt that they should,� he said, adding that Islamic rules, dating back centuries, are unalterable.
