Turbans are seen in the middle east only because the Sikh religion has a very large population base there. It has nothing to do with culture, it's a religion.
First of all, a turban is like a very large bandana, and it's wrapped around your hair in order to keep it clean. Imagine having your hair long, like down to your knees, and then wrapping a linen cloth around the length of it, then wrapping that cloth up around your head into a bun. That's what a turban actually is, and that's why men wear bigger turbans as they get older (it's against the Sikh religion to cut your hair).
And please don't consider hanging the cloth and the jacket on the wall...it's like someone hanging a priest's robe and a rosary on their wall because they think Catholicism is an indicator of north american culture.
Education is a wonderful destroyer of ignorance, so please look up all the info I've given you if you really want to understand these people and their religion.
Cheers,
Sean.
