(116,005 posts)Ah, I see. "I'm not obligated to support your bullshit when you inflict it on the public". Rather than educating your daughter and reassuring her that the woman wasn't scary, you chose to single her out as weird or the enemy.
This is odd since you also write "this OP is in the interest of cross-cultural understanding. Muslim women in hijabs are mostly kinda sick of being singled out as if they're weird or special or cute pets or the enemy. "
Did you know DU has a Muslim group? This is in response to your starting position of "I get the feeling on this site that no one here actually hangs out with Muslims and knows them as people". There are quite a few Muslims on DU, or friends, relatives of. I do not know of any of them who back your position of telling their children women with face veils are scary or bullshit.
This is an odd PSA.
