She’s liable to be murdered and not by tea partiers.
My son has been going steady with a Muslim girl from Bahrain for 2 years now. She looks more like the Miss America contestant than some girl you would see walking around Afghanistan. Her father is a graduate of FSU so he obviously knew what American culture was like when he sent his daughter over. Last summer when she went back to Bahrain for the summer her mother tried to get her to cover her hair up and she told her to get stuffed. Last I checked there was no honor killing, either for the not wearing the headscarf or dating a Catholic.
I realize it may be hard for some of you to believe but just as you know there are Christians and Jews who aren’t Orthodox there are also Muslims who wouldn’t strap on a dynamite vest if you showed them a picture of Mohammed with a bomb turban. They just don’t get the kind of publicity the radical ones do.
Knowing my son’s girlfriend and her family the way I do I find it easier to believe Miss America’s story than most.
