Thanks for sharing but is this about "Turkey"? I mean, I guess that is for "off-topic" more, isn´t it?

 Moving it to General/Off topic

I often wear a headscarf - for fashion rather than religious reasons

And I often get stared at - but ´m not sure it the headscarf that attracts the stares

 I am not sure what one particular item would make me stare at you, bod....but I am fairly sure I would....

Staring at people is not a very nice thing to do Elisabeth!!!

 I didn´t think YOU would mind bod!!

Well - I am used to being stared at.......

I have no idea why though

I can´t imagine. 

Well, she has a very important point. It is so sickening to hear that some people think of you as a terrorist because you have a headscarf, so unacceptable... I do think that in today´s world, especially in the west, a burka might cause some uneasy feelings because of security issues and it should not be allowed especially in public places. But comparing all muslims to terrorists is disgusting.
