An Indonesian province said Tuesday it is ordering Muslim female flight attendants landing in the region to don a hijab upon arrival - or face punishment by religious police.
It's so sad when Muslims ignore the inherent, tolerant, feminist nature of Islam.
Muslim women in Aceh, on the island of Sumatra, are required to wear the Islamic headscarf under religious law, while non-Muslim females can opt to wear modest clothing instead.

Not to worry, flight attendants. Your punishment won't be severe.
Ali said any sanction would not include public flogging - a common punishment in Aceh for a host of crimes including selling alcohol and having gay sex.
