Moroccan Head Scarf

 Over the past ten years, Morocco has made major changes to religious education, in particular regarding whether young girls should wear headscarves. A verse from the Koran that says girls should don veils has been taken out of the books. Even a picture of a mother and her daughter wearing headscarves was removed from the latest editions of a text books.

Other Arab countries have made similar changes, worrying that the veil could be used as a symbol of extremism. There are few things that have become such obvious and controversial symbols of Islamic identity as the headscarf.

Religion aside, the head scarf is a important part of traditional Morocco, and lets face it. Heads scarfs look great, theres so many colorful designs and silk like materials. They also protect your hair and head from the harsh Moroccan sun. For this reason alone, the head scarf will never disapear.
