Fuss over Hijabs

Ridiculous, do the religious police seriously consider it an offence for a lady to wear a head scarf?
I'm old enough to remember when ladies always covered their heads, especially in church. This was a Christian custom too.
We were a Christian country. It was out custom for ladies to cover their heads, men, because they all wore hats too, took them off in defference.
Look back in the Bible at 1 corinthians 11. Paul's letter states, every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven."

The Queen is often seen with a headscarf on. Does this make her disrespectful? She is the head of the Church here after all.
Isn't this all rather silly, a fuss about scarves.
