Slightly off topic but still somewhat related.
A neighbor of mine are "Palestinians" and muslims. The husband is a taxi driver and the wife wears her burka, but they are very good neighbors have raised their children who were born here as Americans.

When the oldest daughter turned thirteen the family planed a trip to Palestine to visit the grandparents. When I asked her if she would be wearing a burka while on vacation she replied, "of course not, I'm an American and we don't have to that". When they returned from the one month vacation she was wearing a burka. And she has worn one in public ever since. The kids at public school tease her quite a bit and it bothers her so I have not mentioned it.
However, I can't help but notice that she has changed.

The Palestinian girl has most probably changed because maybe she was abused via the practice of female circumcision.
