#2 Speaker Pelosi:
In putting on a veil when it was not required, Ms. Pelosi has done a huge disservice both to modernization and to her brave but beleaguered Muslim sisters trying to decouple the veil from Islam. The issue is not about a bit of fabric but about Arab and Muslim women fighting to emerge from under its symbolism of male domination, as Dr. Subeeh did, to speak up and be counted.

Jihadist Islamists rely on the imposition of the veil as a weapon in their cultural war to the same degree as they utilize suicide bombers in their terrorist campaigns.

Ms. Al-Subeeh:
"The essence of democracy," she said, "is to respect and accept the opinions of others."

Definitely a step in the right direction and a very brave women indeed.

"Mankind is at its best when it is most free. This will be clear if we grasp the principle of liberty. We must recall that the basic principle of liberty is freedom of choice, which saying many have on their lips but few in their minds."
- Dante Alighieri

#5 I didn't realize Pelosi did this. If she did, she is truly a dumb bitch. She claims to be a liberal and progressive. These actions are truly retrogressive as a bassackwards example to submissive Muslim burka bags.

Ohferchrisesakes! She wore a veil out of respect for local customs. It didnt have any effect onuhemmm womens rights one way or the other. The real offense was that NancyPantsuits more then likely violated the Logan Act with her trip to visit the Chinless Regime. Sans veil or not.
