[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Laura Bush also didn't wear a headscarf when she visited Saudi.

I think this is the right decision. Wearing a headscarf should be a personal decision, and no one should be pressured to wear one - Muslim or not, political visit or not.

I also think it was smart of her to attend the meeting of the dignitaries. It highlights the absolute backwardsness of conservative Saudi's in their total ignoring of women. [b]A few men acknowledged her and shook her hand, but most pretended she didn't even exist standing there.[/b] That looks bad for Saudi Arabia. It's shameful.

Good for Michelle O! Love her! [/quote]

Touching an unrelated female is actual prohibited under Islam (do remember which sect), so this is not really ignoring.  The article I read stated that the one who did not shake nodded - which I understand is an acceptable alternative to hand shakes.[/quote]

Totally agree about the handshakes. But they should have greeted her.  (I have no clue if they did or not).[/quote]
