I had visited India in 1995 for my brother-on-law’s wedding, and had come across this attitude toward muslims from many different people there...I was a bit shocked by all the security at the airports (thought I might have to marry a guard who frisked me a bit closely at one point!)and really didn’t ‘get it’—I remember at one point when we were traveling passing a large Christian cemetery and people were *living* in it, they had laundry hanging over the tombstones all over the place—and my husband and FIL complaining about ****** muslims, having no respect, etc. etc.
I ‘get it’ now. *heavy sigh*
brother-on-law’s=brother-IN-law’s
Sorry. Bit choked up here reading all these anecdotes. :*(
