I just read your letter. It is very well written and you make so many
great points!
I especially loved this part.

:Devotees of Hinduism feel that their deities most approve of
offerings presented with hennaed hands. 100% pure henna should be
allowed to pious Hindus who feel that their prayers and offerings may
be shunned if they cannot present them with hennaed hands:

In the following did you mean Zoroastrian?

:Hindu, Muslim, Sephardic Jewish, Rom, B'hai, Parsee, Zooasterian,
Sikh, Coptic Christian, and Armenian Christian brides all are
traditionally hennaed for their weddings. These people make up, at
last census, 10,000,000 citizens of the USA. It would be tragic to
prevent, by halting the import of 100% pure henna, these brides' joy
in celebrating and preserving their wedding traditions! Henna as a
wedding tradition dates to 7000 BCE. A tradition that has endured
for 9000 years and stretched over 60 countries should NOT be
interrupted by a government officials misinformed and poorly
reasoned ruling!:

I have been searching for some info on Zoroastrian beliefs recently.
The local library was no help and I have only found brief mention on
the internet. Do any of you know if they allowed women to worship and
what thier feeling about women were? You can email me if you do.

Thanks,
Natalie
