The problem for them as politicians is that they live in an echo chamber. When they get out into the world, they are surprised to find their beliefs are offensive to everyone. FGM is acceptable to them. Feminism is not. LGBT is offensive to them. Terrorism is not.
That doesn’t work well in the “real” world of politics. The hijab is a symbol of patriarchal oppression, even if you say it isn’t.
The point I was speaking to is how the The headscarf is such an issue for them is in every country they are attempting to Islamicize the scarf represents 'to the Islamist' power over the enemies of Islam and their superiority over others...........which is why Rep.Omar switched from wearing the traditional Somali headpiece before she was elected to wearing the head-scarf when she entered the halls of Washington.....and why she insisted the ban on the scarf was removed before she was seated....she got her Islamic victory and therefore is emboldened to speak and do as we now are seeing.it is the 'distinguishing feature' between herself and the 'inferior' non-muslims she is among in Washington.
Let me add...also that they use our very laws of freedom and human rights to support THEIR values not ours. In fact human rights groups are the'vehicle' being used to survive until their numbers are great enough to influence and direct our society toward their Islamic system....all by using Western democracy
So for them freedom is just a tool used to kill our freedom later on.
