    She is.
    As Bjauck points out she wears a scarf - a head covering - which is very respectful in many faiths (including Christianity in certain circles (Greek Orthodox being one)).
    I knew I had seen it a lot recently and it was my time in Greece a couple of years ago.

    You forget that there are those in NZ who pleaded with her NOT to wear the hijab - not headscarf, but the Hijab.

    I can only speak for myself, but I don't give two stuffs what she wears, but I don't fantasize over a naked version.

    Head scarfs have never gone out of fashion, it is pointless debating with an old fool clearly suffering from discordia.

    Even primary kids would laugh you out of the playground for that.

    Any chance we could move back to discuss the issues instead of throwing childish insults around? It feels pretty disgusting to watch grown up men behaving like preschoolers.

    If we want to see a kindergarten bully who outgrew his school uniform, than we just need to watch the US president - no need to drop the standards on this forum to the same lows ...

    I guess head scarves - especially those that cover the forehead and cheeks - have the added advantage of protecting skin from the sun. Perhaps another reason that they are often worn in areas with stronger sunshine. Pale skin (especially for women) being valued in lower latitudes (as it used to be in higher latitudes) as a sign that women do not have to toil outside or in the fields.

    Think of the number of skin cancers fair skinned women in NZ could have prevented if face veils had been part of our cultural attire.
