So called liberals, supposedly dedicated to the advancement of women, attack the first lady of the United States while forgetting the stoning of women in Islamic countries. Unbelievable.
First Lady Melania Trump was recently subject of one of the most repressive articles against an American woman.
The fake and failed Clinton News Network (CNN) opinion hit piece essentially said that of course Mrs. Trump is getting accolades from the Saudi Arabian press because she is “conservative” in her dress and manner. Please.
Maybe CNN should run some more articles about Islamic genital mutilation, stoning of women, sodomy of minors, or the oppressive judicial system that requires more witnesses on behalf of the woman than a man in judicial proceedings. However, it is doubtful they will. The Clinton News Network certainly won’t quote the Quran which says it is OK to beat a wife if she is disobedient (Surah 4:34), that Jews and Christians are like monkeys (Surah 5:30), and that Muslims must “fight until there is no more Fitmah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e worshipping others besides Allah.” (Surah 8:39).
The writer of the opinion piece states some of the wrongs in Saudi Arabia such as women not being able to drive, but completely ignored the greater evils I named above; evils that are prevalent in most of the Islamic world. Further, the author will not even go against the ideology that says these evils are OK.
But these are the priorities of the left. They want to run down their own first lady to score a cheap political point. Not done attacking the sitting president, who is trying to build the Arab equivalent of NATO to fight ISIS, they keep attacking his wife. They can’t win tough wars, so they try to win elections. They complain about contraception in the U.S., yet ignore the genital mutilation of their sisters around the world.
These leftists are fools, and gutless ones at that, by attacking what they think is oppression here in America while not calling out the greatest evils in the world today. Radical Islam is an ideology that brought down the World Trade Center, sees infiltration in America (including its military), and believes it is OK to use children as suicide bombers. There is no arguing with such a philosophy and there is little arguing with the left.
We should not be surprised but just to recap, post-modern progressivism is not an ideology of love and peace but an ideology of power and hatred. Post-modern progressivism is not concerned with the defenseless in our cities or in Middle America. We have Islamic terrorism running rampant through power and force and we have leftist terrorism through political correctness. It is a natural marriage that radical Islam will use until it then kills off the leftists it used to do its bidding.
As far as Melania Trump, she is above all this. She is a strong confident woman. She has made her own choices. She has made a career and then married and had a family. She stayed in New York so her son could at least finish out his school year, setting an example of family being more important than career.
She has moved us with her smile, with her tears at the National Cathedral, and her rendition of the Lord’s Prayer. Mrs. Trump is loved and respected precisely for whom she is. Bringing femininity, beauty, grace, dignity, and a sense of style, Mrs. Trump is the epitome of everything the left hates, is not, and will never be.
Mrs. Trump standing by her husband does not make her an object. It makes her a wife and makes it even more likely that when she does speak, we listen. Melania Trump does not need to do anything except being the good person, wife, and mother she is; a true first lady in every sense of the phrase.
CNN=Fake News!
I thought she sent quite the message by not covering her head in Saudi Arabia, and covering her head when at the Vatican.
“...and covering her head when at the Vatican.”
I may be wrong but I believe there is something in the Bible, indicating that a woman must wear head covering when entering a Holy place. She is probably wearing out of respect. IMO
Melania is just plain beautiful inside and out!
I believe its a misinterpretation. I think it actually means women should have long hair.
It very reverent though...and I love seeing it.
I’m not sure if the rule still applies, it’s been awhile since I’ve been, but orthodox Roman Catholicism until the 80’s required women to wear head covering of some type whenever they attended Mass, or entered a church containing the holy eucharist, or when going to confession. Men were required to remove theirs.
and later in the evening that gorgeous orchid colored gown

CNNDNC is naught but a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.
To expect it to be anything more than that is setting oneself up for disappointment.
may the ghost of Timothy McVeigh visit CNN
it's pretty humorous that the pictures and video accompanying the hit piece article show Melania shoulder to shoulder with Trump. As for walking behind him, perhaps someone should remind the author that Everyone, walks behind, the US President. Everyone.

I wonder if she was able to practice other languages while overseas. I think she speaks five languages. That’s so cool.
The Book says:
1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
I'm sure some of FR's Catholics would know and will post the applicable data.
Who let that string stay on the carpet!
Melania is amazing——she can look fantastically beautiful and feminine even completely covered up in a long black dress.
To place this historically, I graduated from eighth grade in 1965, from HS in 1969.
Thank You.
