On the train this morning, the top level was too crowded (i.e. the two spots I like to sit were taken) so I sat on the bottom, which is a smoother ride but you're more likely to have a stranger park their ass next to you. A very nice muslim woman sporting the headdress parked it next to me then took off her shoes and put her bare feet on the seat in front of her, mere inches away from me. Maybe I'm not getting it, but shouldn't feet remain covered as well? (In general I think they should anyway, by and large feet are nasty especially for those of us not blessed with the gift of knowing how to properly trim their toenails, but that is another story that I'll not share with the 3 of you.)

Am I a total ignoramus on the issue of muslim women and naked feet?
