As noted by the Associated Press, Michelle Obama did not wear a headscarf or veil Tuesday. In Saudi Arabia, that's unusual: The country is one of the few on Earth where women are expected to cover their heads, and most Saudi women wear niqabs.
Exceptions are made for foreigners, however, and Michelle – who did wear loose clothing that fully covered her arms – appears to have been one of them. In photographs from the official events, other foreign female guests are also shown not wearing headscarves.
More than 1,500 tweets using the hashtag #ميشيل_أوباما_سفور (roughly, #Michelle_Obama_immodesty) were sent Tuesday, many of which criticized the first lady. Some users pointed out that on a recent trip to Indonesia, Michelle had worn a headscarf. Why not in Saudi Arabia?

The same was true in most of Europe until there was good reliable heat. All eastern women in the old movies made to report events in the thirties and forties show women in headscarves
Nuns still wear head coverings, real tight full head coverings
pioneer American women wore various bonnets as head coverings
Any of the places you listed have “morals police” that will arrest the “uncovered” woman?
Any of these places will have people throw acid into the faces of the “uncovered” woman?
What a pair!
Foregoes a head scarf? She should be required to wear a paper bag. If she had any self respect, she would do so simply to avoid being seen with Barrack!
Michelle should have hopped into a car and drove to the nearest Christian Church seeking sanctuary.
I certainly hope they cut her sentence at least in half in the interest of "friendly relations". Perhaps if her husband promises to beat her with a stick no thicker than his index finger for a while they will reduce it more? It would only be fitting justice, and all that.
and they freaked a few days ago about John Boehner and Protocol ,LOL
“Her Muslim husband should get a grip on her.”
Him and what army?
Good for the Mooch. Too bad she couldn’t beat the new head creep with her handbag a la Aunt Esther.
Barry probably had already explained that the guy with him is really Michael LaVaughn Robinson.
These 2 are a disaster where ever they go ,LOL
Where is Barry’s headscarf?
These two p**s on everyone.
Mrs. O did nothing wrong——neither did Laura Bush when she visited.
No head covering needed.
.
IKR? Here's the rub. The egomaniacal Bomos are inconsistent and clueless. They bow to this leader, where a headscarf for that leader, play with robots, where neon robes, refuse to see some and take selfies with others. The message is mixed and subject to interpretation by the world. They are just blundering through this presidency thing. The country they are most uncomfortable in is the US. That's the country they hate the most.
She probably wore it as a boob belt.
Who the hell cares what the 7th century nitwits in Saudi Arabia think???? They need us a hell of a lot more than we need them and with Yemen on their doorstep, they have a whole lot more to worry about than Mrs. Obama’s hair....
I’m sure the Saudi’s forgot about it when they noticed Mooch’s bulge - probably figured transgender.
