Due to the religions association with small but extreme groups of terrorists any one in a turban or a head scarf gets strange looks.

Sweden banned the building of minaretes in the alpine country. I didn't know Europe would be like that for some reason I assumed that they were more open to racial and religious issues. I guess I'm ignorant to ignorance. To read more about this subject click right here
