You're being ridiculous. Wearing religious attire is not the same as wearing tactical gear. He's not wearing a black trench coat or full camo or something that could be considered a style of clothing. He's wearing protective gear, like he's expecting a fight.

I never claimed it’s the same thing - you’re not accurately representing what I said.

Racial, religious, and sexual minorities all face prejudice based on their appearance, and the people holding those prejudices always have excuses for why they think it’s justified. This is no different - you’re judging someone purely on how they look rather than who they actually are.
