Please...I was born and raised in the AA. My father and mother were high ranking officials. My mother sold veils with the "flor azul". They sold veils in the lobby at their conferences. If you did not obey, they intimidated you and made you feel like an outsider. If you were at a restaurant, they expected you to put it on to pray for your food and if you forgot a veil, they took the napkin and put it over their head.
Growing up my sisters wore one to appease the veil police! Save your apology for somebody who doesn't know any better.
You are welcome to wear whatever you want, but don't make it appear that it's voluntary. They (taliban) may not of sent you to hell, but you were certainly sent to purgatory.
