And yet, don't you think it silly that you feel threatened by woman wearing a particular piece of cloth? (Granted, a burqa is a -big- piece of cloth, but cloth nonetheless.) She is dressed "differently," and you have an involuntary shiver as if every woman in a burqa is a terroist? Like every Irish is a drunkard, every Pole is stupid, every Mexican is lazy or a drug-dealer? That anything that is not "of your culture" prompts a reaction of fear, and the desire to wipe it out?

I did say it was an involuntary reaction. I think its that they are so out of place.
I also know that most women in burqas are either brain washed or oppressed, but just occasionally some go boom.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
