As Writeacher asked -- What is that image?

The image of Muslim-and Arab-Americans in my community is a part of the mix of this city that includes, blacks, Asians, whites, Native Americans, Christians, Jews, and atheists. The Muslim woman who is hired by my housing complex to fix delicious meals wears a head scarf. So? Some women always wear skirts; others wear jeans; some wear hats; others are bareheaded.
