muslim men..

I just read an article about a female Turkish reporter getting stoned simply because whe did not have her head covered while reporting a protest. She was said to be 'sexually provocative' and was attacked by 30 men throwing stones and shoes at her.

An Islamic organization is now filing charges against HER.I am having such a problem understanding this whole concept. Not wearing a scarf on the head of a female sexually provocative? This coming from people who follow a prophet who was married to a child under the age of 10? How can this even be logical? ...a grown woman cannot show her hair? ...the men of Islam cannot handle seeing the head of a female? ...
