Those were my thoughts yesterday at the supermarket.

Had a similar experience today at the Manfred Rommel Airport (Stuttgart). Passed by a fancy coffee boutique, and saw that the cashier was a Muslim woman wearing a very distinctive hijab. It was quite neat and tidy, and was largely in brown and black - actually quite appropriate for a shop selling coffee. But it did catch my attention.

(Of course, one can encounter plenty of such hijabs when simply strolling down the Königstraße in Stuttgart - but then the women are usually trailing behind a husband, loaded with parcels like pack mules, their gaze directed at the earth, etc. But this woman was in a service role, and would presumably be expected by her employers to interact with customers, engage in shoptalk about coffee, etc.)

Still, I didn't go in.

(I mentioned to my wife that it wouldn't have bothered me if the woman had been a habited Catholic nun, but my wife countered that a nun would not be attempting to impose her worldview upon the rest of society and/or wearing garb implicitly advocating the subjugation of women.)

Regards,

The Catholic nun would like to talk to you about Jesus Christ, and invite you to become Catholic.

Hijab Lady's husband would like to cut your head off if you don't grovel before "allah" and babble about "mahomet" being a prophet.

You and Mrs. Busek are very observant and astute.
