People are wary Rind, when we were younger the asian girls wore pants under their uniform at school, this we understood it was part of their religion, that they were unable to show their legs, fine, no-one argued about it, we respected it. BUT this is going a step to far, it's obvious that more are wearing them than ever before and to me it seems more and more are wearing these after 9/11. I have tried to educate myself on reasons why they wear them, just for my own curiosities sake but the reasons seem shrouded in mystery. As I posted, I must of heard of at least 30 different reasons. I can't help but think that with all the secrecy is it extremists showing their allegiance.
We have a known Al-Quaida supporter living close by to us and since 9/11 he has grown his beard and donned head gear that he never wore before. The women you see wearing bhurkas, when accompanied by a male, he will have a beard and head gear (sorry don't know what the official name is for the cap). What else am I to think if I can't educate myself.
