Nancy Pelosi: Hijab or Hijive?

Filed under: National, fashion, fun stuff — Badrose at 1:05 pm on April 4, 2007

According to Islam101.com:


The vast majority of Muslim scholars and jurists, past and present, have determined the minimum requirements for Muslim women’s dress: 1) Clothing must cover the entire body, with the exception of the face and the hands. 2) The attire should not be form fitting, sheer or so eye-catching as to attract undue attention or reveal the shape of the body.

The rules are simple, even I understand them. Apparently, so did the most powerful woman in America.  While receiving the red carpet treatment in Syria, Nancy Pelosi dons her head cover (hijab):

But then later . . . From aljazeera.net, there’s this:

What part of “clothing must cover the entire body” did she not comprehend? More importantly, what skirt did she decide NOT to wear when meeting with Bashar al-Assad? The snakeskin mini-skirt with chains? Does she WANT Hezbollah to attack us?

Keeping the scarf handy, “just in case”:

Also according to aljazeera.net:

The top Democrat politician had earlier said she had “no illusions but great hope” for the talks which she said would focus on the fight against terrorism, Iraq and Lebanon.

Someone in the DemocratIC party (Josh Chernila?) needs to tell aljazeera that it’s offensive to be called a Democrat. (Remember what a slam-bang job Josh did reprimanding Lt. Gov. Bolling at the blog conference?) Sheesh - the DemocratICS really need to hire better PR people. My son had a more successful result when he changed his name to, “Chad Vader!” Chad keeps his entire body covered, by the way, EVEN his face and hands. Maybe he’ll get to go to Syria next time . . .

Well atleast if they had sent Hilary we would have had the basic pant suit thing going on. My brain can not wrap around any good or just reason for Nancy to be wandering off like this.

I had no idea S went there!!!! He’s really gone to the dark side, huh??? (Benjy and Camden are living there, too. I think Benjy’s not taken a single solitary toy to show and tell in the past three months that hasn’t been from that side of the moon. I won’t tell him that he has an option to change his name……

His teacher was kinda funny about it - at first she was fine with it but then told him he couldn’t because all of the other kids decided to change their names, too!

Everyone has a right to dress the way they want so if a Muslim woman wants to wear a hijab she should be able to and if she doesnt she shouldn’t be forced
