"The turban is not a symbol of Islam. If you had done your homework you would have discovered that, far from defining it as an "Islamic garment", all dictionaries and encyclopaedias define it as "Oriental or women's head-dress". And the Orient, thank God, is not composed of Muslim countries only. It includes India, for instance, which despite Muslim invasions has always managed to remain Hindu. In India the turban was used a long time before Prophet Mohammed. Think of the black turban of the gurus, of the jewelled turban of the s, of the red turban of the Sikhs who by the way are the most unbending enemies of Islam."

"[The] gates of monarchs Are arch'd so high that Giants may jet through And keep their impious Turbants on, without Good morrow to the Sun."
