How is this much different than what Muslim women wear? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...2aab9971e3.jpg

Traditional orthodox Jewish women wear scarves, hats or wigs for the same reasons traditional Muslim women wear the hijab.

Not too long ago, nuns were required to cover their hair.

What does this have to do with immigration?

Until the Renaisance, a hair cover was regarded as appropriate for married women throughout Europe, regardless of religion.

Women in Eastern Europe continued the practice of the " babushka".

What gives you the idea it wouldn't?
The worlds society has already been down this road. The war was won and evil pushed into a hole in hell. They just didn't totally eliminate it and it has now grown to be the biggest evil facing civilized society today. Exploding in the last 90 years and the formation of the Muslim Brotherhood, in 1929, with the goal of the final Caliphate.
Crusades for 1000, Alex.

Taking offense is a choice.

The ones killing innocent people? Those are the true, devout Islamists following the words and examples of their pedophile prophet. The ones not killing others? Those are the ones "masquerading" as Muslims.

What kind of logic is this?


No, that would be the religion she belongs to and supports.
Holy War, is more Black & White than the politically correct want it to be.
Something so easy to understand is made complicated, so no feelings are hurt to protect the no so innocent. What, we surely don't want to make them any madder!

It is not about culture.

Many will never want to accept what a Holy War is all about, or that they have been drawn into one.
Those people in San Bernadino that took one for the team, didn't accept it and most certainly paid the price.
