I live opposite a local Mosque
I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it when I moved there a couple of months ago (though not for the same fucktard reasons as above; being an Asian woman and having been brought up in Islam myself, I was more concerned about being hit by radiation waves of judgment every time I opened my front door), but it's actually really nice. Apart from the fact that the regular comings and goings make my street very safe, seeing so many people leaving their houses at the same time to go to prayer makes it feel like a real community, in quite an old-fashioned way.

I do get a lot of sidelong glances, but nothing which causes me any problems.

On the delightful boss mentioned above, can you not at least try some stealth re-education about rapists? For a start?
