Two women exiting their vehicles come face to face at a highway rest stop in Mississippi. The one in jeans and a sweatshirt starts to turn away but comes back and asks, "Where are you from?" The one in the black head to toe burka with narrow eye slits says with a heavy accent, "Crystal Springs." "No, I mean where originally?" "Oh, India." First woman, confused, says, "but people don't dress like that in India." Second, covered woman, "Muslims do!" First woman, "But all the Muslims went to Pakistan!" End of conversation. First woman gets back in car thinking to herself, "I really wanted to say how creepy and stupid it looks to dress like that. No, I really wanted to ask her, what kind of God would want women to dress like that? Muslim woman, who had been sitting in back seat, hurries after her husband (dressed completely in white) and a carful of kids in skull caps, thinking, how ignorant, these Americans.
