The German government’s anti-Semitism commissioner has urged Jews to avoid wearing skullcaps in public.

 When I read above news I was wondering whether Sri Lankan Authorities may contemplate to issue a advisory to Muslims also with similar waning ?

Similar  waRning has been issued to Muslim Women regarding wearing Burqa covering the face Soon it may be applied to Muslim men against wearing their traditional cap?

I recall an anecdote in Russia about Jews ,Christians  and Muslims started wearing skull caps and buddhist none .

A Russian Communist who is an atheist was leading a group of priests of Christian ,Jew .Muslim and a Buddhist faiths  through  the jungle  A ferocious black bear started chasing them and all three other than Russian started praying .The Russian thought that praying would not help as the God was nowhere ,he climbed up a tree and shouted to other three to also climg the tree .

Bear was trying to come up the tree and the Russian got scared and urinated ( he uttered Naa Hui) 

Next to him on the tree was the Jew who had some drops fallen on his heary head ,more unrine fell on Christian and muslim also much  more 

Head of the buddhist was fully soaked 

Anecdote says that after the incident   Jew shaved part of the head and started wearing a skullcaps (kippah   ) ,Christian who was a priest started wearing a bigger cap ( Zecchetto

 .Muslim shaved hair and started wearing cap  ( Kufi/Taqiyah) to cover the whole head 

Finally buddhist priest whose head was fully soaked decided to shave the whole head !

Very soon all the buddhists may have to shave their heads to identify themselves as buddhists?
