islamophobia in the midwest

Submitted by snakesavage (United States), Jan 3, 2007 at 22:44

I happened to be entering a Home Depot in a large midwestern city the other day, and as i entered a man and his son were entering too. As we entered, two muslim women entered at the same time. The son stopped and stared at the women and then asked his dad "are those muslims dad?" and the father answered "yes" - he thought so. The son then asked "are they men or women"? (they were wearing a full facial veil) The dad replied "they are probably women -the men only wear a veil when they want to murder someone or commit a robbery.--The father then took his son by the hand and left the store. i'm afraid islamophobia is here to stay unless muslims change to adapt to their new country.
