I am usually level-headed. Not now.

some rationalization

O, I have no problem with this part. Had she been killed in some action... Even being taken as a hostage is thing we already used to...

But this headscarf they put on her just makes me mad. These don't want freedom. Their idea of freedom is everyone around being their slave.

Not their slave. Their brother/sister ;-( In the religious sense of the word.

I think, she was wearing a headscarf on her own, even before the capture.

Even if she didn't, if you try to understand them, that could help you to keep your cool. Imagine you have found a naked Papua girl on your backyard. Won't you try to cover her somehow before bringing her to the lost and found? A woman with uncovered hair is an abomination for them, just as for some orthodox Jews.

Anyway, the headscarf <--> slavery link is a bit of a leap of imagination :-)

It looks for me not as covering her, but as "immediately starting to teach her glory of sado-masochistic love" :)
