Stop insulting my kin

Dhimmi,

I wasn't referring to nuns, but to my biological sisters. When I grew up, women -- modern American women -- were expected to cover their heads in many situations, particularly in church; whereas men were expected to remove their caps indoors and doff them at times as a sign of respect.

Israel has some serious issues to deal with, concerning enemies such as Hizbullah, Hamas and others; and head-coverings is not one of them. Some Westerners here have seen it right to ridicule Muslims on the matter of headcoverings; and in so doing, they also poke fun at my Catholic sisters. You seem to be one of those scoffers; and I do not respect you for this.
