Muslim women: My headscarf is not a threat

Then why is it banned in some Muslim countries? At least some, CNN in this case, are starting to report the truth about the hijab.

According to Muslim scholars, veils, scarfs, hijabs, and niqabs are not in the Koran or proscribed by Islam. They are considered by many Muslim scholars to be radical political statements and are therefore banned or restricted in many Muslim countries. It's time the rest of the non Muslim world understood that these coverings are not religious symbols but radical political statements.
