18. Stealing a line from Buzz Lightyear: "I don't believe that man's ever been to religious school"

Mon Jan 30, 2017, 10:45 AM

* Even the most conservative and insular Muslims respect Jesus as a prophet
* It's called a hijab
* Allah is the same God of Jews and Christians, according to Muslims, and in my experience with Muslims, I've only heard "Allah" mentioned a couple of times outside of religious rituals. Rest of the time, it's just God. Including from a Moroccan coworker of mine who tells me that God protects me. I truly feel a lot better hearing that than the "not my problem" cliche espoused by a number of these so-called "real Americans" that Bill stands with.
