You said it again. "Host society"! Sorry, but I slowly get the feeling that you have a problem to accept that Muslims can be an integral part of Holland or Germany or any other "western" country! They don´t
have to be 100% like "us", they can do whatever they want as long as it isn´t against the law. It has not much to do with "disdain" and "indifference".
I admit that it maybe wasn´t a very wise decision to wear such a religious outfit in those times, but they probably wore them every Ramadan before 9/11, Iraq, Madrid and London, why should they change it now? Because it makes (as you put it) "normal" people feel uncomfortable? It´s a religious thing! We are not in a position to tell them what to wear or not. That incident only shows that a part of our society is f*cked up. Not those two guys have a real problem, the others have!
If it was one of the terrorists goals to try to divide Muslims and Christians they had a partly success, as the train example has shown.
