No headscarves. Angela Merkel, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Condoleezza Rice.

1. Wait, we are supposed to cheer that the women who went to kow-tow to the saud thugs

didn't wear head scarves? Oh fuck that.

3. Actually it seems we are supposed to be outraged that only Mrs. Obama was singled out

for FoxRage! over #ScarfGate!

Sometimes the stupid just surrounds us.

5. I don't think we are "supposed to be outraged"

I think we are only contrasting how we look at things and how the right looks at things. You may be "outraged" but for me it takes quite a bit more than a head scarf here or there.

4. So where are all those who were outraged that people were making fun of the Islam religion

and their prophet recently (re: cartoon controversy), and saying that was wrong?

Mrs. Obama is clearly disrespecting their culture and religion here, so where is the same outrage?

Why do I get the feeling instead it will be *crickets chirping* from those same people this time.

6. Mrs. Obama is neither an Arab, a Saudi or a Moslem, just like the other women shown. She does not

have to be the obedient woman they expect of their own.. She is disrespecting no one nor their culture or religion, none of which is hers.....

7. There are many women who go there who aren't Arab, Saudi and Muslim., and yet don the headscarf

out of respect for this culture and religion.

8. I think then that they are stupid to do so....n/t

9. Fair enough.

10. Charlie Hebdo isn't Saudi or Muslim, yet we were lectured ad nauseam about being respectful of

the feelings of mass--murderers (not Muslims, the killers).
