Michelle Obama ...

[Danny2011]

"As images of President Obama and the first lady, Michelle Obama, with the new Saudi leader, King Salman, circulated online after their brief visit to Riyadh on Tuesday, commentators, observers watching from afar, seized on the fact that Mrs. Obama had not covered her hair during the audience with the new monarch."

We becry that 'they' come to our countries and don't respect our culture.

How then do we get to go to 'their' countries and not pay the most basic respect ?

Should we be tippy toeing around Muslim cultures , or just be 'ourselves' ?


When I travel the world , I make it my business to know local customs , and respect them !

Cover up , not wear pants , wear a headscarf if needed. Have a chaperone if must.

Mrs. Obama -- ??

It being politics , it is not by accident or coincidence. Sending a message ?

Definitely politics at play here probably for both a domestic and foreign audience.


I don't think its too much to respect someone elses culture when in their country, how can you ask people to respect your culture if you're not willing to do the same (within certain limits obviously).

Chaperone lol, I'd say you've given chaperones a grey hair or two from time to time.
