“In Philadelphia I’m struck by how many women I now see on the street wearing the hijab or even the burqa. Some of my friends are annoyed by that kind of “in your face” Islam. But I understand it. The hijab and the burqa say two important things in a morally confused culture: “I’m not sexually available;” and “I belong to a community different and separate from you and your obsessions.”

This did strike at my heart as an indictment against the “Christian” culture, what is left of it anyway. Except for the Amish, I would have to agree with this. Modern-day Christians...men and women... are not known for their sexual morality. Far from it. In our church we just had, yet again, another out of wedlock birth. I'm sure there will be a baby shower congratulating her any day now.

“And I may have a bomb under here. If not now, in the future. And that is my ultimate reason for existence.”
