Summary: To her credit, First Lady Melania Trump did not wear hijab, a head covering, when she accompanied her husband the president on their recent state visit to Saudi Arabia.
Her head was bare, her hair was long, she was proudly, determinedly, naked-faced–and she wore elegant, flowing, pants.
Women have been killed in The Kingdom and in parts of the Muslim world for appearing like this in public.
Melania lived. These rules don’t apply to her nor should they.
In my view, they should not apply to Saudi women either. After all, burying women alive in public, imprisoning them in moving sensory deprivation isolation chambers, is a violation of basic human rights.
Please recall: In 2016, when Iran held American sailors captive in the Persian Gulf, that they forced the sole female Navy sailor to don hijab on board. This is how Barbary pirates once treated their captured Christian female slaves.
Adopting, willingly, such non-Western customs which subordinate and hobble women or voluntarily “pretending” that one is a Muslim when that isn’t the case – this is typical “dhimmi” behavior. In other words, to appease the aggressor, to stave off punishment or death, infidels trapped in Muslim lands (Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, the “wrong” kind of Muslims), have, and still do, pre-emptively obey Sharia law or tribal customs.
