Another young Muslim mother was ordered off the beach at Cannes and fined for simply wearing a headscarf.

I hate Muslims as much as much as most westerners; however, some women wear a headscarf for medical reasons. My wife has cancer, and has undergone radiation and chemo treatments. After one strong series of treatments, she lost all her hair and wore headscarfs and hats everywhere. So I know not to diss anyone for wearing a scarf. But she was told to stay out of the sun if possible, and certainly wouldn't be sunbathing on the beach with a headscarf. Otherwise, in public be understanding of why some women wear headscarfs.

All due respect to your wife and others.

It’s a shame innocent people have to put up with this. I don’t honestly like it.

Here’s the alternative.

“however, some women wear a headscarf for medical reasons”

Then they can get a doctor’s note.

" I hate Muslims as much as much as most westerners"

Just speaking for myself, I don't hate muslims. I know some muslims, actually, and since 911 I've concluded that I wouldn't trust a single one of them with a cheese pizza.

I don't hate them, though, even though I no longer speak to them. I wish them well, and I pray for them, occasionally, that The Lord would send someone into their path to lead them into the right way, with him.

Fact is, that someone won't be me because they can't be my friends any more.

But I don't hate them. I can't afford to.
