I don't see why the united states authority deems it necessary to destroy peoples lives who are wearing a scarf over their hair or men who are wearing Sunnah because of the 9/11 attacks. This is just another lame excuse to inconvenience another Muslim somewhere, somehow. If I were to stereotype all Christians by the actions of one group, I would be trotting all over town persecuting anyone wearing a white cap on their head in fear of them being a KKK member, or any white, middle class American Christian fearing it was another Oklahoma bomber. I mean, common, enough is enough already. geese. give me a break.
I hope the Egyptian woman and the man SUCK THEM DRY!!! I hope people get a message from this. Not everyone who wears a scarf or Sunnah is a terrorist bomber.
idiots.
