Melania Trump Doesn't Wear Headscarf In Saudi Arabia — And It's Not An Insult by GuntersChain(m): 1:28pm On May 20, 2017
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — First lady Melania Trump did not wear a headscarf when she greeted the king of Saudi Arabia on Saturday. Neither did President Trump's daughter, Ivanka, or any of the other women in Trump's delegation.
That's not uncommon, illegal, or even particularly impolite. While Islamic women are required by sharia law to cover their heads while in public, there's no such expectation for western women. And King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud greeted Mrs. Trump warmly at the airport, even directing Saudi customs to shake her hand.
So none of this would be an issue, except for the fact that President Trump himself made it one — when Barack Obama was president.
In 2015, President and Mrs. Obama visited Saudi Arabia to mourn the death of King Salman's brother and predecessor, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud. First lady Michelle Obama wore loose, head-to-toe clothing, but did not cover her head.
"Many people are saying it was wonderful that Mrs. Obama refused to wear a scarf in Saudi Arabia, but they were insulted," Trump tweeted. "We have enuf enemies."
Other high profile western visitors — including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister Theresa May, and first ladies Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush — have also eschewed the headscarf in their visits to the kingdom.

and the same quran tells u that, the God of islam (muhammad) will only accept islam from you as a religion, does that not mean it is made compulsory?

The onus lies on you, she is not a Muslim and nobody is expecting her to use hijab undecided

The Saudi Princes living it up in the best of peace and comfort, having sold their violent curse to the rest of the world.

They are business men, who know and use all the caveats their Book affords them. In their mind, if at all there is any aljannah, they've cut their deals for getting in easy and no baga will stop dem.

They've no qualms about dying easy at a ripe old age after a luxuriously, pampered life in the midst of early harems while indoctrinating, militarizing and funding young mujahedeens to their pillage, cause misery and die while claiming to serve the cause of the same god.

While the christians are decentralized from their former Roman catholic overlords; islamists have not hence our major quandary of people who can't read their "holy-books" objectively for the sentiments it expresses and adjust accordingly rather they embark on a violent forceful proselytization of their 21st century world in self-delusion.

If not for the West's liberality and political correctness as well as Petro-dollar concerns with deals orchestrated by Judases like George Bush Snr/Jnr; could the Arab's have taken on the USA in a 1-on-1 war effort?

Trump is a big hypocrite who accuses others of doing exactly what he is doing or plans to do. ...

It seems to me like America banned so many muslim countries from entering theirs... Over 80% are Christians while the rest at are Jews..

It seems to likw somewhere in England, a certain fellow called King James translatated the Bible after they broke out of Chatholism to start the Anglican Church..

Why should she dress like a muslim when the Suadi women will never dress like chriatians.. Is she a muslim?

Trying to imposs your sharia law on others.. What concerns christians and sharia law?

So obvious you are an extremist... People like u are in ISIS, Boko Haram, Caliphate etc...

Arabs are pure hypocrites and racist. No African leader's wife will be welcomed like that. If not that Africans are idiots, why shouldn't we be protesting, sabotaging, out innovating the Arabs and make them feel uncomfortable in north Africa. Our leaders need to start preaching and teaching students that Arabs are not and will never be our friends talk less of brothers and sisters.

A cowardice law...
A Religious law is suppose to have no respect for persons but rather Equality in the things of God...
