I thought the moderate muslims said the head covering (hajib?) for women was a local tribal thing, and not specified in the Koran. So why didn't the Gov. show some guts, or better yet some of the women at the mosque, and NOT wear the hajib?!

The Governor is a politician pandering for votes, any votes. It doesn't matter if the votes are from people who would destroy America as this Governor has no principle, like most politicians. They will pander to anything, good or vile, as long as it will help them get re-elected.

Looks like in the background of the picture, there ARE women NOT wearing the hijab.
