In the Middle East, where it is forced on women and at least one minister in Pakistan was murdered by radical extremeists in the past month for not wearing one properly - it is much more. And when arguably the most powerful woman in the U.S. goes to the Middle East and wears it inside a mosque, that is a reasonable show of respect.

I'm absolutely no fan of Nancy, and I agree that given the circumstance it's suspect, but really - it's just a headscarf. Used to wear one myself during cold weather when I was young. My mother hated it - said I looked like I "just came over on the boat" but it kept my ears warm.<BR/>I'm definitely not a muslim. And I might have worn even a hijab if I went into a mosque - but I also probably _wouldn't_ enter a mosque, and I _wouldn't_ wear even a headscarf on the streets. <BR/>Oh yeah...they also used to call them "babushkas" because the Polish women wore them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
