wow! the full Salafist getup including the robes. i have NEVER seen that 
in Austin.
i believe i read somewhere that the white crocheted caps signify that the
wearer is a slave of Allah. but i cant confirm this

Salafist fundamentalists in America! i believe the term of art for this
persuasion is Islamist (as opposed to Islamic).

it is somewhat comforting that Moslim mosques have been informing the FBI
about these types on an ongoing basis since 9/11. and that no act
of terrorism has happened after 10 years. maybe stink eye should be
criminalized

on another subject, i was stopped by a cop yesterday for crossing the 
street at 6th
& Congress against the light. it was a "Warning". after i signed the 
warningt he
said You are free to go. I said What? He replied "technically you were 
being detained."

the cop explained he was enforcing PEST.

Pedestrian Enforcement Safety Team (PEST) to conduct a pedestrian 
initiative beginning Sunday, October 23, 2011 through Saturday, November

the PEST initiative is to educate the community on pedestrian laws and 
to conduct enhanced enforcement operations. There have been 17 
pedestrians killed in crashes so far this year.   Below are some key 
elements of the PEST Initiative: Locations will be selected based on 
crash data analysis: Pedestrian violations include:

  * Disregarding Pedestrian Control Device
  * Solicitation by Pedestrian

  * Pedestrian in the Roadway
