Freedom of travelers to dress their own way

samedi 31 janvier 2015 à 13:00

Bravo, Michelle Obama, for refusing to cover your head in Saudi Arabia.

Muslims insist on practicing their own customs when they travel, and demand non-Muslim visitors adopt local religion-associated customs when they travel to a "Muslim" country. They want their customs to override conflicting customs everywhere, and they have no right to that. Either all travelers are free to dress their own way when travelling, or all travellers must adopt local practices (no veil, for instance).

Indeed, the idea of a "Muslim" country is hostile to human rights, just like the idea of a "Christian" country or a "Jewish" country or a "Hindu" country.

Now if the US would only show less respect to the king whose policies include beheadings and whippings and many other sorts of repression.
