Michelle Obama forgoes a headscarf and sparks a backlash in Saudi Arabia

I see no reason why we should respect the subjugation of women.

Neither do I. I was talking about head gear. I don't know where you got off the track.
 
Liberals: Good for her, standing up for her rights and ignoring multiculturalism!
Conservatives: How can she insult our allies like this!? Damn it! We should respect Islam!
Libertarians: *after putting down the bongs* Wait... Arabia isn't just a country in Aladdin?
Moderate: Good grief, what the hell is she wearing? How are you going to get caught with the damn king of Saudi Arabia wearing Pottery Barn curtains? That's what is really important here.
Other:
Well, what this really signifies is that Michelle Obama is having an existential epiphany related to the croissants she had that morning.
Liberals pretending to be Independents: Well I for one will take this as an opportunity to be heard on issues that I believe will make me seem less liberal.
Conservatives pretending to be Independents: Wait, wait! Look at this link that shows how much Syrian Muslims hate crepes!
Centrists: I have an opinion!

Libbos: She's a racist!
 
I know I'm late to this thread, but this conservative applauds that she didn't wear the headscarf. It's a tricky thing, on one hand she's a visitor to another country not her own and should play by their rules, that's what good guests do. But there are some rules that we, because of our own internal rules, just cannot follow.

However, her clumsiness shows in the way she chose to do it. She should have worn a hat and explained that she was doing honor to Allah by covering her head, but would not bow to men who want only to subjugate women.

Greetings, clownboy. :2wave:

:agree: That's how the Queen of England handled it - it showed class, and no one was offended!
