He's not trying to hide the fact that he's anti-Muslim. I think it was a horrible thing for him to say that, but at least we know he's intolerant and hateful.

Better than all the snakes who pretend to be tolerant of minorities but secretly hate them.
Better to be an honest person with hateful views than a person who denies their hateful views.

Someone should remind this guy that every artistic interpretation of the Virgin Mary depicts her with an obligatory head cover.

Saw a tweet the other day about how a guy put out his nativity set in the front yard. Then decided that given the current political climate he should remove all the Arabs and the Jews.

Alas, he was left with only a jackass and some sheep.

Not clear why any reasonable person would care what she wore on her head.

The proposed rule change also includes yarmulkes.

Wonder how many Congress critters wear toupees / wigs.

Toupees and wigs are not religious symbols nor do they take freedom from woman as the Muslim garb for women do.

This isn't thousands of years ago, duh. I thought you liberals were all about human rights and especially women's rights?

The woman in question wants to wear the hijab because it's part of her culture. Who are you to tell her otherwise?

What is your opinion of yarmulkes?
