Duchess Of Cornwall Accidentally Exposes Ankle In Pakistan Mosque (camilla)

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, caused a panic in Pakistan on Thursday. The duchess unwittingly revealed her ankle inside a mosque.

Camilla visited the Lahore mosque with her husband Prince Charles dressed in modest slacks. However, when Camilla replaced her shoes - which she had removed for the tour in accordance with Muslim tradition - she accidentally tucked her pants' leg into her sock and flashed her ankle.

Her assistant private secretary, Amanda McManus, was heard frantically whispering "Ma'am, ma'am" and then rushed down the steps after her to rectify the wardrobe malfunction.

It is considered disrespectful to Islam for women to show too much skin.

Charles' first wife, the late Princess Diana, caused outrage when she visited the same mosque in 1991 wearing a green wrap dress which stopped above the knee.

Charles and Camilla were shown around the mosque by preacher Maulana Adbul Khabir Azad, whose father was threatened with imprisonment over Diana's visit in 1991.

Fortunately, it is not believed Camilla's mishap will cause the same controversy.

So far the tour has not gone well for Camilla. Earlier this week she was accused of insulting the memory of British servicemen after removing her Remembrance Day poppy pin, claiming it kept catching on her Islamic-style dupatta scarf.

I think I'd panic,too,if I saw her ankle.And if there's a single candidate on earth for "the veil",it's gotta be her.



I agree

" But, whipping them, stoning them, or executing themin public is perfectly respectable."

When they behead them, are their heads covered or uncovered ?
I remember the video of the woman being executed in the soccer stadium and she was covered head to foot.
Probably , the burkas are manufactured with target marks on the back of the head and across the neck.
Because one never knows when the urge to behead your wife or daughter might strike and this way they don't have to waste time with all that fabric.

In Iran, men and women can't attend soccer games together BUT they can attend public executions together. But when the Dems take power they'll talk to the Jihadis and work all that out.

IMHO, Charles and Camilla fully deserve each other.

That's why it's not a good idea for women like this to travel to Islamic countries. It gives the nutbars ammo in their defense of forcing women to wear a veil as most all of us agree Camilla shouldn't be seen without one. Preferably a veil as thick as a pair of Levis 501 Blues.

An Ankle? An ankle is nothing.

Unless you are Hillary Clinton.

I can think of plenty of other things to find offensive about that woman.

Camilla is in for it now. Prince Charles will be having a royal hissy fit with her over disrespecting his beloved Islamic faith. http://www.meforum.org/article/356
I don't like her, I thought Diana would have been a wonderful Queen. But I do hope Camilla has the guts to punch him in the nose if he gives her any $hit. I don't think life is quite as good for her married to that moron as she thought it would be. I hope the Queen has the sense to make one of her grandsons King instead of him. He is a wackadoddle.

It's not how she looks that I find offensive. It's her unappologized-for adulterous past that I find offensive. And, no, I'm not just blaming her.
