” It does mean, however, that hundreds of millions of Muslims are ok with the more “devout” among them doing so.”
They ALL suck!
When I see a covered lady in a store, I always walk away. I find the whole religion and the lack of actively speaking out against the violence perpetrated by their coreligionists revolting. Therefore, I find them totally disgusting.
However, I really cannot handle a burqua.
Before 9/11, a very educated engineer from Jordon was an instructor for an engineering software firm who came to teach at our company. He was quite educated, well groomed and friendly. One day at lunch the caterer brought in cold cuts, which included ham. He did not have to eat the ham, but remarked loudly to the woman engineer in our group, “What, you are feeding me ham!” and made a big issue of the selection.
I would never trust him, and prefer not to associate with him.
