Freedom to Cover Petition
Posted by kristinsdottir under Appearance, Orthodox Christianity, clothing, headgear, religious dress
“We are calling on all people of conscience, freedom of choice supporters, religious freedom, civil liberties and human rights groups around the world to support our religious, cultural, civil, and human right to wear head cover in public schools and public institutions.
We urge the United Nations to step in and take an action against any government that passes a ban against veiled women or head covered men.”
Yup, Muslims are behind this. No, I don’t think it’s evil. In fact, I think we should all be able to cover our heads if we want to.
(the pic? Though the petition is serious, this photo is not — it’s a Creative Commons Flickr photo from Orthodork; check out her photo of Mother Gabriella of THE ORTHODOX MONASTERY OF THE DORMITION OF THE MOTHER OF GOD)

yes, I realize no one pays attention to U.N. resolutions, but hey, seems appropriate to be optimistic…
