According to the AP: “Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged a new American openness to ideas from abroad, especially the Muslim world, during a visit Wednesday to Indonesia.”
It will be interesting to see Secretary Clinton as see visits other Muslim countries; do they allow her the freedom of her culture, or will she follow their values and wear a hejab (head covering)?
Either way, it will be highly symbolic: Wearing one will show America’s willingness to submit to Islamic identity and morality, not wearing one would be seen as an affront to Muslims.
If Mrs. Clinton had been elected president, I wonder what she would have done?
