Stop smuggling weapons into the mosques under your burlap, ladies, and we might think better of you...

I don’t believe that Moslems in America are routinely treated badly, but the aversion to a simple head scarf, and to the Moslem religion, is a sign of ignorance.

Surprise surprise. Lots of real trouble with militant islam and CNN focuses on this.

That’s assuming that who’s under the burlap is a woman.

Sorry if you are offended but when push comes to shove I don’t care if you are all rounded up and either put in a camp or deported!....you see, your Muslim brethren want to cut our heads off and we have had just about enough of this P.C. crap!

I feel so bad for them. They should really leave and go find a place where they can be treated as they wish. That same man singing The 12 Days of Christmas in Saudi Arabia would face severe if not life threatening punishment.

Why are people going to support a yahoo calling this woman a terrorist at a Wawa? Do you have the slightest reason to believe this woman smuggles weapons under her clothes? Further, the article refers to a head scarf, not a burkha.

I don’t think they’re treated badly either but I also don’t pretend to think that they wouldn’t support terrorist if they thought it would likely lead to the end of the US.

"They" who, you sound like a fool. You know the hidden desires of some mythical "they" in the form of this woman going to a Wawa?

Again, I doubt this sort of thing is common at all, I've never seen a Moslem mistreated, but apparently some people think women should be embarrassed at convenience stores for wearing a head scarf?

I bet Muslims in Saudi Arabia are being polled right now about how worried they are that Jews wearing yarmulkes might be treated poorly. /s

According to Seyam, the man replied, "What else does a terrorist look like?"

That's kinda funny!

Are you asking a question and are you calling me a fool?

Personally I could care less if she’s embarrassed at a store because for me it’s not a headscarf, it’s the religion underneath the headscarf.

Women allowing themselves to be treated as less than men is ignorance too.

I’m having a hard time envisioning this scenario. Does she contend that a man spontaneously broke into a corrupted version of the Twelve Days of Christmas, and that she listened to the whole thing. I could do all my shopping and be checked out before the Ten Lords a Leaping verse. This seems a little strange to me.

“They” were such nice boys. I couldn’t figure out why “they” only wanted to learn how to land the airplanes, but since “they” were wonderful students, I figured it was OK.

the author of this article is very confused. It veers from referring to ‘headscarves’ to ‘covering one’s face’ to ‘hijabs’ as if they were the virtually the same thing, which they are not.
