I think in these times everyone should be extremely careful about what we say and what we wear and do. For example, a colorful silk or nylon Western-style scarf is ok, but not anything that might be mistaken for Muslim wear.
Obama has started wearing a flag pin now after being criticized for not wearing one. We all have to be consistent in showing how patriotic and loyal we are and how much we oppose our nation’s enemies. It might not be pretty, but that’s just the way it is, and we have to accept it.
I think there’s an implied sarcasm tag in that... isn’t there?
