When my brother taught math grad student 40 years ago, there were a lot of Jews in his classes, men and women He hadn't been in a place that had a lot of Jews before, and both the kippas and the scarves were a new thing for him to see.

You know roadcat, you're a perverse, insulting fraud. And your efforts to trivialize the threat of the Islam and their horrific abuse of women identifies you as the enemy.
An arrogant, really phenomenally stupid and childish enemy, but the enemy nonetheless. And your claims to Christian morality are ridiculous.
I find your defense of Islamic atrocities revolting. We're done, son.
The problem is the sharia-inspired torture of women. The solution is not forbidding women to wear head scarves.
Banning scarves seems to be, like liberal “virtue signalling,” a form of symbolic deflection.
“I really hate Islam! Oh, I hate it, hate it, hate it! See his much I hate it? I’m gonna pull the scarf right off the head of that stupid bint!”
You're absolutely right. That idiot Talisker hates scarves. He's more like a liberal than he realizes, with the symbolic deflection. Lots of women wear scarves, the Muslims didn't invent them. My sisters all wore scarves, back in the 1950s/1960s when putting rollers in their hair was popular, and to keep their hair-sprayed heads intact in the wind. This guy is probably a millennial born after that time and doesn't know any better.
As for my wife, it was heart-breaking to see her cry as her hair fell away after chemo and radiation treatments. Her doctor's waiting room was full of women wearing scarves, and none were Muslim. She was in better shape after selecting some scarves and being able to go out without embarrassment of being bald. She's in maintenance mode now, getting chemo every few months to prevent flare-ups of cancer, and her hair has grown back.

Thanks for the nice words. My youngest daughter, while attending UCSC, dormed with a Jewish gal and got heavily involved in Hillel Foundation, a Jewish youth group. Doing so opened her eyes to all things Jewish, including seeing the kippas and scarves. Another daughter traveled for months all over Europe seeing the same, from Holland to Greece. I worried while she was there, but the experience was valuable to her. She settled down in Iowa, which is somewhat tame, but she has her memories to cherish.
