Opinions Of A 21st Century Kashmiri Nomad

take time to visit this week's featured blog, Opinions Of A 21st Century Kashmiri Nomad... the author, a muslim, offers some valuable insights and asks some interesting and pointed questions... example...

Why O why do people always look at me in a strange way? I think it maybe the fact that I have a rather long beard but is that any excuse? Is it because I have three eyes or three heads, most certainly not! Then how can a beard be so threatening to a ordinary member of the public? I do not approach people in a threatening manner but rather in a way that is quite endearing but still to no avail! They view me as the embodiment of all evil, is that fair ?

a good question, don't you think...? perhaps some of our more testosterone-fueled brethren of the "right" persuasion might care to comment...
