I didn’t *claim* it was a sharia thing. I mentioned it as a possibility. The airline had no business treating her in this capricious way, given the fact that young American women dress like this quite often.
Some may not like that, but that’s the way it is. I don’t know who complained, but the flight attendent should have smiled and acted with benign neglect.

I think we, as a community, have neglected this sort of crap too long. That includes me. I probably wouldn’t have made an issue out of it, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. Otherwise, how far do we let things go before we start speaking up?
