The hat next to the pink Spanish pointed biretta is either the headgear of a Jewish Chief Rabbi, or a Muslim Ayatollah or Mufti , the one that looks like a round black pumpkin is Ethiopan or Egyptian Coptic Christian, and the tall beige felt looking hat is the type worn by Muslim monks who are called Dervishes, and have monasteries (yes, actual Muslim communities of monks), in mostly Turkey but also in Egypt and Syria. During the Muslim Ottoman Turkish Empire (1453-1922) which surplanted the Byzantines in 1453, there were thousands of Muslim monks in dozens of monasteries. Today there are not many. Mostly in Turkey, in the land where the movement began in the first place.
