luluRM: I agree with most of what you are saying. However, we do hear criticism of Orthodox women and their wigs. It is usually along the same lines of the criticism of the hijab and niqab: that this is some sort of oppression forced on women by men. And the sikhs who wear turbans often go through troubles in the West, see the stories of the sikhs who were shot in the US directly following the Sept. 11 attacks or the sikhs who are asked to remove the turban when going through metal detectors in airports and public buildings.
