Sister Jabou,

Interesting to learn from you a new thing in this debate.I was listening to 
a debate on the issue and one of the Muslim ladies in the debate insisted 
that there is no mention of the Hijab in the koran.May be I over heard this 
or that she was referring to the  extreme form (could not remember the 
name),mostly seen in Afghanistan,until in one of my trip back home when i 
saw some Gambian women under that hot sun dressing that way.Which of the 
many forms is mentioned in the koran ?
For freedom
Saiks
