Some of you know that I participate in a medieval re-enactment group. We get together on weekends and pretend like we're medieval characters. Some of us are interested in Middle Eastern cultures, and wear headscarves, the way women did in Middle Eastern countries during our period of study. This has nothing to do with modern politics. Alot of these people are in the military, and served in Iraq. Unfortunately people who don't know what we're doing have harassed some of the women wearing headscarves. No one can stop idiots from getting drunk on a Saturday night and going after someone who is simply playing a game. But it's scary how far the madness over Islamic religious clothing is getting. These women are not even Moslems in real life---but what if they were? Does that make them terrorists? No. Now I have a Middle Eastern costume for an event some friends of mine are doing in two weeks. I'd better not get harassed. I will be pissed if I do.
