I guess we could say all clothing is to some degree. There are a million muslims in the Netherlands which has a population of only 16MM. The dutch are very vocal about their opionions of these immigrants and will say things like "That used to be a lovely park but it is about 80% muslims who take their children there so dutch people don't go there anymore." It's sort of like reverse tolerance...we won't tolerate your intolerant culture! I've talked to death about the open markets here with bolts and bolts of cheap fabric...it's all used for draperies and headscarves. Islam is a twisted religion, more than most so don't you feel bad about how you felt. And any muslim wanting to call me ignorant to their religious beliefs I say "Bring it." That goes for christians too. So there. I took it one step further so now the heat is off you, Sarah :-) That headscarf is a symbol of oppression and I don’t think you have to go much further than your own hesitation to dig deep into your embarrassment to realize that vibe was already there preventing you from jumping in.
