The Bible says a woman’s hair is her covering. The cleric obviously doesn’t know the Bible.

The jackass doesn’t even know the Koran. Nowhere in the Koran does it mandate the veil or hijab or chador or burka or any specific covering at all, only saying that women should dress modestly.

The entire culture of covering up women is a social custom from the middle east (including the Byzantine areas) in the sixth century A.D. It is not prescribed in the Koran.
