Melania Trump in Saudi Arabia: Hijab-free and proudly American
Fox News - Opinion ^ | 22 May 2017 | Dr. Phyllis Chesler

Posted on 05/22/2017 4:49:45 PM PDT by blueplum

To her credit, First Lady Melania Trump did not wear hijab, a head covering, when she accompanied her husband the president on their recent state visit to Saudi Arabia.

Her head was bare, her hair was long, she was proudly, determinedly, naked-faced--and she wore elegant, flowing, pants.

Women have been killed in The Kingdom and in parts of the Muslim world for appearing like this in public. {snip}

Meanwhile, hijab-free Ivanka Trump’s meeting with a group of Saudi women allowed them to appear with her in a photo, wearing only their long, black abayas and headscarfs. For a moment, they, too, were liberated from their confining face veils. And they were smiling.

I hope that Melania and Ivanka Trump continue to give Saudi women and women throughout the Islamic world more reasons to smile as they continue to follow this naked-faced script.

“Women have been killed in The Kingdom and in parts of the Muslim world for appearing like this in public.”

Not a good idea to mess with a woman whose husband can kill every living thing in your country.

Proof that the Muslims are just cowards who won’t fight against people who can fight back.

I'd be proud of her as FLOTUS even if she was bare naked.

Hey, guys. You're forgetting FR etiquette. We are already 8 comments into a Melania post and not a single Melania pic has been posted. Be careful. Jim Robinson is liable to have all of you zotted. ..
