To hijab or not to hijab?

I stumbled upon an amazing and intelligent debate about the Quranic scripture as it relates to obligatory wearing of the Hijab... both people in the debate have strong feelings on the matter but more importantly, they reveal some of the arabic translation and historical context from the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). No matter our bias, culture or traditions, the Quran serves as the foundation for all Muslims around the globe. We should seek first to understand our roles and responsibilities from the Quran before our culture or traditions. First step is to create a baseline, then add to that baseline with cultural norms and societal traditions.

What do you think about the exchange below?
