Markus, here is a little quiz for you. I have seen some extremely attractive Muslim women. See if you can pick the religion of these fourteen images of
Women of various religions. I scored 10 out of 14. See how many you can get.

Interesting. I scored 9 out of 14.
You make a very good point. Perhaps the standard should be adjusted to say -- as long as they aren't wearing a Burka, which is excessive.
You are right, many Muslim women are attractive with their head coverings.

I'd say it depends on the circuŠ¼stances and if wearing the hat is required. For example, some men in the military may have to wear a hat (in my country, a beret) while in uniform. If they wish to attend Mass in uniform or need to go to confession before training and they have no time to change, it becomes a necessity and can't be circuŠ¼vented.
I believe there is an exception for men in the military.
Dad told the story about how when he was in the Coast Guard Academy a friend who was also Catholic invited him home for dinner. It was a Friday. His friend told his mother that they had a dispensation from the rules of fast and abstinence so they could eat meat on Friday. His friend's mother replied, "Not in my house."

In some countries (such as mine), it violates the dress code if a soldier were to remove his beret. What I know is that in the US enlisted men can wear a "patrol cap" while in uniform, and not be in violation if they were to take it off. However, in my country, it's a requirement the Army doesn't overlook or excuse based on religion.  
I guess that is what happens when there are no longer truly Catholic countries.  It makes sense.   :-X

13/14.  But I live in NY and have regular exposure to people from literally all over the world.  I confused the Sihk for Hindu.  Not bad considering I'm of course Catholic.

I have known many military traditional Catholics. They always have taken their hats off when entering a church but replaced them as soon as leaving the church.  

It's standard protocol for American military to remove their berets / caps from their heads as soon as they enter any building, and they put it back on their heads as they're exiting the building.

I'm a veteran. I know.
