Guest Columnist: My Two Cents

I'm all for religious tolerance, but lately I've been seeing something so unsettling I just have to speak up.

I've been seeing all these foreign women totally covered up from head to toe, and frankly, it worries me. It makes me suspicious. Ordinary women like to wear lightwegiht, colorful clothing, because it's comfortable and cute. Would someone really opt for this kind of getup out of their own free will? Are women forced to do this by their husbands? Or have they somehow been brainwashed by a backward culture into thinking that hiding their God-given gifts is the only way they're acceptable?

It's spooky, and I think it poses a hazard to the general public. Say, for example, one of them robbed a bank. How could you describe them to the police? "Well, I think it was a woman, but it was wearing this enormous tent." Heck, who knows what they're hiding under there!

God made the human body in his image, and seeing these outfits hiding his handiwork makes me see red. Do they not believe in God? And if so, what kind of demented supreme being would make them hide away in shame? This kind of attitude needs to be turned away at our borders, like people with diseases, or Greek cheese.

I know the politically-correct police will attack me, but I'm going to stick to my guns. It's great that we let foreigners into this vast melting pot, and many of their traditions will add colorful new threads to our cultural tapestry, but some of these bizarre traditions are better left where our visitors came from.
