Rest in peace ‘Encarnação Sousa’!

Just an aside, to those fanatic Europeans that can´t stand to see a Muslim woman wear a scarf: do you see the resemblance between that and European village ppl´s attire? This is why I say Europeans are hypocrites and racists. This reminds me of my grandmother (the black scarf, Christian woman).
