Culture clash..

Description

I was out in the city without my D300, but still had my trusty phone-camera-mp3player-handheldgamingsystem with me, so I was still able to capture a few frames. I saw this Muslim lady walking down the street struggling to be able to drink and eat her snacks while still wearing her niqāb.

The guy in the foreground, I noticed was watching her as she passed, and while that was the frame I was going for, he turned his head and had this disgusted look on his face, which, I am pretty sure he wasn't going for, but spoke a little about 'american/muslim' relations.

I love this pic., great composition too ^_^

Put I learnt not to judge a whole nation by some people in it (even if they are a majority)

while in the airport in UK, the lady there was too rude to me, and kept talking to me as if I'm hiding a bomb inside my hijab or something :D, she even asked if covering my head makes me stupid -_-

but in that same airport, I was shopping for gifts, and after I bought a chocolate box, the sales girl ran after me and told me that it has wine in it and that she noticed that I'm a Muslim from my clothes and she didn't want me to do something forbidden in my religion :)

So, I think it's either ignorance, or bad personalities

peace :aww:
