Reply #31: "any real exposure"

[southerngirlwriter]

Well, not counting the interfaith committee at the Interfaith commission, the Muslim family for whom I worked as a nanny for two summers, the Muslim family who live next door to my favorite cousin, with whom I have broken bread on a number of occasions, and my friendship with a local imam, who helped me do some research and writing on Islam after 9/11, you're right, I have no real exposure.

As to conditioning, what does it matter if you or I or anyone else disapproves? They have the freedom to be Muslims and wear their head coverings and feel however they feel about it. It's not up to me or you or anyone else, especially anyone else calling themselves a liberal, to judge that.

Their rights stop at my nose, your nose, etc. Unless my nose is in their hair, their head covering is not an issue.

Sheesh.
