No, no, I wouldn't be worried about violence if I went. I definitely agree with you on that. The thing that would make me feel weird is being in a country where I might be looked at strangely for not wearing a headscarf, abaya, or burqa. I just think that might be somewhat awkward-feeling. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from there.
