then there is the concern about the influence on society of certain recognisable groups (in this case, recognisable by the headscarf). we’re frightened of proselytism; I wonder if other minorities are frightened by the proselytism of majorities? there are many such questions even in our societies: is it good that non-christians should learn creationism-in-six-days at school? is it good that romania is becoming a secular state?
this is a slightly abbreviated version of the original romanian - and without the pictures and the jokes!
