I think an important lesson was missed here - the etiquette for visiting different places of worship varies - including removing footwear in a Hindu temple, males wearing a head covering in a synagogue, etc

- females wearing a scarf in a mosque is just another such example of being polite when visiting, it doesn't constitute 'dressing like a Muslim' , it is just a simple gesture to show respect to the hosts during the visit.

How unfortunate that good manners were, apparently, subverted by other agendas in this particular case - and shame that the educational opportunity was ultimately subsumed by prejudice ...
