In the 1950's it was laughable in Egypt to force a woman to wear a head covering.  Islam has moved backward while the modern world have moved forward.

Don't go there Lucie. Once you start examining why Islam hasn't always and everywhere been what you are calling "Islam," then you can't just blame Islam.

You have to get into the question of why things have changed for SOME Muslims in SOME places which have always been Muslim. Muslim bashing of some monolithic essential Islam no longer makes sense. Islamophobia loses its political effectiveness then.
