I’d like to comment on a phenomenon I’ve been seeing recently in my deep-blue neighborhood. I’d like to call it the Muslim Fashion Show.
The characters include between three and six (numbers may vary) (young) women clad in full long skirts and hijab headgear, plus one (young) woman in Western dress, no head covering. I refer to the latter as the “liaison” who makes the performance appear wholesome and normal to the average onlooker.
The hijab-clad ladies arrange themselves in an area open and visible to all.
They proceed to wander around in a large circle, aimlessly, not really looking at anyone or anything else.
The liaison beams at all passers-by.
The hijab-clad ladies then drift off to do whatever the environment dictates: if it’s public transit, they take a seat or disembark at the next stop. If it’s at a grocery store, they eventually pick up a shopping basket and start wandering the aisles. The liaison follows them.
The “look at me, I’m in Muslim garb” performance is very consistent. The same characters show up.
It all looks staged.
‘It all looks staged.’
Invite you all to join me in humming “Jesus Loves Me” when passing these black-clad women.
Brush up on the tune - you’ll feel like you’re at least ‘doing something,’ as I do.
If the Muslim woman is an American convert, she may have gone to Sunday School, and knows the song.
If not, and the Muslims hear the tune frequently, - - well, who knows the impact it could have - - - : )
