Hey, if it was a Muslim man out there, I'm sure as hell there wouldn't be anyone calling about anything. I'm just saying there are touchy subjects out there. I don't think there is anything wrong with decorating for Halloween, but make him look like a dark orc, or a green goblin, etc.

My point is that YOU bring the baggage with you. You carry it with you wherever you go and that is how you filter the world. I didn't give it to you by putting up my halloween decoration (i'm not putting any up i'm way too lazy to do so.)
What came to your mind when you saw this photo? KKK?
If you were from Spain you would have exclaimed Nazarenos!!!!

The plaza in front of the church is saturated. Among the crowd stand a few tables—with vendors selling incense, portraits of the Basilica’s Jesus, mounted in frames and on clocks. The doors of the church are wide open in preparation for the thousands of extra visitors. It’s Palm Sunday and everyone has come to see the pasos, the floats bearing religious effigies—scenes from Christ’s Passion and statues of the Virgin—before they are carried through the streets of Seville as processions throughout the week. During Seville’s Semana Santa, or Holy Week, more than 100 of these pasos will be carried to Seville’s Cathedral and back by nazarenos, members of some 60 brotherhoods dating as far back as the 13th century. Members are penitents, and volunteer to stand with roughly fifty others under each 2000-kilogram float, supporting the structure on their necks, pacing somberly to the procession’s accompanying bands. Other nazarenos, up to 1500 for each procession, dress in long robes with pointed hoods, anonymous in their penitence, carrying candles, incense, flags or pocketfuls of candy to give away to the children spectators.
