Submission to misogynistic death cults is never cool.

When Laura Bush and other women wore black mantillas or hats to Pope John Paul II's funeral, it looked solemn and dignified. And if you were a woman there who did not wear a hat, you were not slapped with a fatwa.

Pelosi probably paid more than I make in a month for that scarf. You wasted a lot of money Nancy babe.

Next she'll give up her driver's license.

could the west appear any more weak? I don't think so.

I don't know if I take a lot of exception to this since she willingly did it out of respect. Don't women don a scarf when entering a Catholic church? A synagogue? Do Gentile men wear a yamulke in a synagogue?

I don't normally post here often but I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. I really really really really really really can't believe she's wearing, what is that, a hajib? It just boggles the mind that she's submitting her values and dignity to islam. I mean, I don't really like Pelosi, but I thought she had some personal pride. As a father of a beautiful 2 year old daughter, it makes me sick at the message this sends to our children. We aren't talking about Diane Sawyers, for Christ sakes, this is the speaker of the frickin House!

Dang! I was hoping to see her in a naqib with only her blinking bug-eyes poking out from behind the slit.

I don't consider a mosque the moral equivalent of a church or a synagogue. I wouldn't enter one. Well, if it was the Blue Mosque I might . . . and I did . . . but honest to God, it was for the artwork. As for the Islam, I didn't inhale. Nancy's motives were entirely different.

Women are not expected to covee their heads in Catholic chrches. How many decades has it been since you were in one, if ever?

And as for modest dress, I can't tell you how many people I see wearing shorts in church in the summer. It's a matter of reverence (or the lack of it).

The Autumn leaves on the scarf add a nice touch...except that IT"S SPRING!

:shrug: Women are expected to cover their heads in Catholic churches too, not to mention wear "modest" clothing.

Someone should really come to my church and tell them that. Not a single woman at Mass (but the nuns) has their head covered.

Not to mention these are the same sort of fuckwits that would take a shower in bleach if they touched a Nativity Scene.

Worse. She is second in line for the Presidency should anything happen to Bush and Cheney. This is an absolute abomination - she is not a "tourist" - the American Taxpayer is footing the bill. And she has absolutely NO constitutional authority to perform any act of diplomacy unless it is specifically at the direction of the EXECUTIVE branch.

When she gets back she should be arrested and tried for treason.

I want to be understanding, and say that she might be expected to do the same in many a pagan temple, or even in the presence of a monarch. (Comparing a mosque to a church or synagogue is not to my liking.) But in those cases I would hope for a sign of, if not defiance, limits to deference: A curtsy rather than a bow, declining to use an entrance meant to humiliate, or the like. All I see here is dhimmitude. This visit clearly was a bad idea; let's hope this is the only proof we see.

Congress has been pissing in the soup since the Revolutionary War. Pelosi's servile toadying is unsurprising.

#54 Naso Tang

:shrug: Women are expected to cover their heads in Catholic churches too, not to mention wear "modest" clothing.

Go figure.

Women in Catholic churches do so at their own will. It is not mandated that head coverings be worn. It is also considered "not Kosher" (heh) to wear sandals or shorts in church for both men and women. However, in Catholic/Christian countries, women who are uncovered are not beaten and referred to as "uncovered meat" as they have been called to by certain imams. Also, the teachings of Catholicism and Christianity NEVER have called for the beheadings of non-believers, unlike the "peaceful" religion of Islam.

When I was there, there was a muslim woman tour guide. I had to take my shoes off, and she threw a cloth on her head, because those were the house rules. Whether it's out of respect, or whether it was because of the rules, you just do that.

The point here was that she really had no business going to the place in her official capacity. Would an Arab head of state go to a cathedral when visiting the US? Don't think so. She just contradicted all of the crapola that the demos have been saying from day 1 about separation of church and state. She showed the entire demo/liberal establishment to be liars and hypocrites to be preaching out of one side of their mouths how great secularism is and then pulling a stunt like this.

Agreed that if she's going to go there, she has to do it according to house rules. She just didn't have any business going there. But then again, she didn't have any business in Damascus at all.

I expect to hear outrage from the Islamic community soon. The scarf is not black. The scarf does not cover the face. The scarf was admitted into a mosque.
/O, the shame of it.

Not a catholic thing, a CHRISTIAN thing. It was a christian tradition for the longest time.

It was even specifed by John Knox and Thomas Calvin, the founders of the Protestant movement.

It was not until the 20th century (1900+) that prodestant churches started to do away with this tradition. Vatican II in the 1970's did away with this mostly for lay Catholics and in the 1980's when Nun's uniforms got away from the old habit with veil and into simply slacks and shirts etc.

Check out this picture of another Democrat fearless leader.

[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

Fallaci continued posing indignant questions about the treatment of women in the new Islamic state. Why, she asked, did Khomeini compel women to “hide themselves, all bundled up,” when they had proved their equal stature by helping to bring about the Islamic revolution? Khomeini replied that the women who “contributed to the revolution were, and are, women with the Islamic dress”; they weren’t women like Fallaci, who “go around all uncovered, dragging behind them a tail of men.” A few minutes later, Fallaci asked a more insolent question: “How do you swim in a chador?” Khomeini snapped, “Our customs are none of your business. If you do not like Islamic dress you are not obliged to wear it. Because Islamic dress is for good and proper young women.” Fallaci saw an opening, and charged in. “That’s very kind of you, Imam. And since you said so, I’m going to take off this stupid, medieval rag right now.” She yanked off her chador.

Sorry for the angry comment. I saw the pic about 5 minutes after several colleagues referred to Pelosi as "hot." Its just a personal opinion. I don't find her attractive. Not even for a 67 year old woman

I wonder if the Syrian masses can see her from under Assad's boot.

Keep them under boot as long as it helps them politically.

They really do like animals more than people.

Pelosi is making a mistake going to Syria. Observing the same custom that she would in Rome, however, is trivia.

She does look kind of dorky however, and hardly a strong representation of the USA. There, does that make you feel better?

Naso Tang...

When is the last time you entered a Catholic church? Modest clothing? Ever heard of "donning your Easter best.."? Summer attire for young women usually consists of Khaki shorts, flip flops, and t-shirt. Personally, I think church attendees are too casual anymore regarding their attire. However, comparing hijab, which ONLY functions to marginalize women, with the 21st century Christianity is ludicrous.

so Amy K is reporting from a church obviously...

I don't think one can quite compare any other headdress of a peaceful religion to this death cult's headdress symbolically. My mom was a nun for a few years and I can guarantee you not at one time did she feel her head was at risk of being separated, nor was she beaten by the priests and nuns there. And she left the catholic church and she's still alive to this day...THE HORROR! It's not the same symbolically at all. pelosi is a submitting traitor idiot.

Hillary clinton would for sure wear one of these. She's famous for licking her finger and sticking it up in the wind. She is a good chameleon..falls in line nicely if it will buy her a single inch to advance. Make no mistake.

Too bad she wan't there a 3 years abck. Assad could have arranged for her to see poor Daniel Pearl's head.

Christian churches in the Middle East and Europe often have "relics." For example, they might have a hand of a saint in an urn.

Muslims say they never take over another religion's holy sites. In reality, doing exactly that is core to the strategy of Islamic world domination, as is lying about it to infidels (taqiyyah).

My guess is this was once a Christian church. Fortunately, the ROP had the good sense to keep around a relic that was once in a church that they took over by force at some point. They must think they are gaining some advantage in so doing.

Those Hermes silk scarves start at about $450.00.

Geesh, I remember my mother having to wear such at a Catholic Church 60 years ago.

She looks like a simpleton, maybe a bag lady. Not a leader.

But that's the point, isn't it?

Someone posted that there were 3 Rebuplicans that had made a similar trip in the last weeks, and what was the difference here? I felt sort of dumb that I didn't know they had visited, dumb enough that I didn't know what I felt.

It wasn't until later it dawned on me what the difference was: she's there specifically to offer alternatives to a dictator, more specifically to undermine the sitting President and Commander in Chief while we are at war.

That was why her visit made me angry. Glad I was able to remember that tidbit. Angry.

Didn't this crap used to stop at the water's edge?

Coming in late here, but what a fucking disgrace.

OR 165,

Yeah, but that was back in the good ole days. Back when Bill Clinton had the whole friggin world spinning like a top!

"She just looks like a bag lady."

Bag lady, my eye, I bet that scarf cost $250.

Her evil hair rays are still showing. I bet she spends a ton of (tax payer) money on her hair coloring.

She's such a hag!

Syria used to be a very Christian country

As recently as 1980 it was about 12%. Now it's around 4 and dropping. One of those "inconvenient truths" that you don't hear much about.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, looks at the tomb containing the head of St. John the Baptist inside the historic Ommayad Mosque, during her tour at a popular market in downtown Damascus, Syria, Tuesday April 3

Yet she smiles away...yes don't mind the insult to any who worship Christ or have faith in the Church...just smile and look at the pretty tomb...

idiot...

Is she going to convert before she leaves Syria too? Or did she do that before she left the USA?

How did St. John the Baptist's head end up in a Mosque?

OR

how come the middle east hasn't made one contribution to mankind since Mohammed was born? how come Muslims predominantly live in caves and hovels? could it be that Islam is a Satanic Death Cult that glorifies nothing but murder and hatred? if you could clarify that would be great

WTF is she doing visiting Syria in the first place?

It debatable whether that tomb really does contain the head of John the Baptist:

Muslim tradition maintains that the head of John the Baptist is interred in the Umayyad Mosque. In later times it was rumored that the Knights Templar also had possession of the head of St John the Baptist. Catholics believe that his head is kept in Rome.

John's right hand, with which he baptised Jesus, is in the possession of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Cetinje mona

139 Naso Tang...

Given the decline of Christianity that has occurred in all of Europe (that includes Italy, Tang), Catholic churches have been largely relegated to "museum status". So, outside of a few high profile masses every year that take place in the Vatican (Midnight Mass, Easter Sunday), tourists make up the majority of church goers in Europe. Oh, were did I get this info you ask? From my brother-in-law, two 1st cousins, and several other friends who LIVED in Europe for at least 4 years. As for the US, were some of us actually attend church because we...gasp!...believe in God, t-shirts and flip flop clad young women are the norm. I observed such fashion in my home church in St. Clairsville, OH, as well as in Rochester MN, St, Paul MN, Wheeling WV, Morgantown WV, and Pittsburgh PA. Who knows Tang, maybe I'm attracted to Catholic churches chock-full of hippees and red-necks.

Oh, BTW...

shrug: Women are expected to cover their heads in Catholic churches too, not to mention wear "modest" clothing.

I wonder, Tang...if you were NOT insinuating a comparison between Catholic women and hijab adorned Muslims, what was your intended point? This time, try S P E L L I N G it out for us neanderthals.

Why didn't she just put on a burka? Wish her face was covered.

This is what I get for sneaking out of the scullery kitchen, while cooking for the second Seder.

Now I will go rinse out my eyes! She is a traitor, so help me.

Cya later! Chag Pesach Sameach to any lizards who are celebrating. Now if we could all be delivered from the 10 plagues Pelosi and the dhimmicrats.

She's commited treason against our country, pure and simple...

Can you say, photo op with the women in the mosque?

So typical of that faith that the severed head of St. John the Baptist is in a mosque...

She does look like a baglady.

She could be wearing a mink, a DKNY dress, and a tiara, and she would still look like the woman that stands in front of the bus station watching the smoke from her cigarette reflecting in the bus stop window.

Crazy eyes.

"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the dog... Get that fork out of my brain. Goose dung, Cheez Whiz, Barbra Streisand!"

Pelosi: 'Political prisoners? What's that?'

Nancy Pelosi’s head in schmata:

It is an exemplary portrait of a weak horse (which goes beyond the useful-idiot condition) that will be used as a propaganda piece by the enemies of US to show how America is ready to bend her knees.

It is also an insult to all freedom-loving women around the globe who strive so desperately to be treated like full human beings.

I thought I'd never say this (and may regret it), but Hillary Clinton suddenly seems acceptable. Okay, not acceptable, but at least she's enough of a witch that she would not pandor in this way.

You're joking, right? Is this the same Hillary that put on a fake southern accent at a black church last month? Pander and democrat are synonymous.

I would say the message isn't mixed at all. Crystal clear.

There seems to be some confusion about the tradition of the Catholic and other churches in which women cover their heads for mass, following St. Paul in 1 Corinthians.

There is no moral equivalence here with the Islamic tradition.

The head-covering in the Christian tradition is / was taught to be a sign of respect and modesty specifically in a theological context and that is during the mass. In the Catholic Church it is non-obligatory according to Canon law for women to wear it, even when it was common practice. Muslims, on the contrary, demand (as obligatory, following Hadiths) that even non-Muslim women wear the head-covering outside the home or in the presence of men, which are completely non-religious environments, and thus it is specifically a symbol of women's submission to men in a non-theological context. The Islamic teaching is also that women should be covered to avoid arousing men, which is an entirely demeaning view of women.

The idea that Pelosi wearing the hijab is insignificant because head-covering is in the Christian tradition is therefore ludicrous. Pelosi is consciously or not showing respect for a tradition that is demeaning of women, and, by wearing the hijab, she is also expressing the message of submission to Islam, which is what the Islamic tradition requires of non-Islamic women. It is disgraceful. If she wore it for just for some kind of religious context, I could see an argument being made that she is respecting a religious tradition -- and not the misogynistic Islamic tradition -- but this is not the case at all.

naso

The Catholic headcovering is called a "mantilla" and was worn as a historical custom by women in the presence of the Pope. They are also worn by some women in Catholic Churches to signify human humility before God, though this naturally voluntary and the practice of a tiny minority.

Now, please take your glib, thoughtless analogies elsewhere.

This photo shall live in infamy.

Oh boy, Nancy Pelosi put a scarf on her head. Oh no, now we should all get upset because it looks like someone from the US government might actually respect another culture that some people ignorantly associate with "evil" while conveniently overlooking the stark similarity to whichever flavor Judeo-Christian religion is popular.

Relax. It's a scarf. It's the same thing Thelma and Louise wore. Oh and if you're all upset about Pelosi going there, where's the outrage about Republican representatives Aderholt and Wolf, who were there when she got there?

/tired of manufactured phony outrage

The question is, How many OTHER heads are in that mosque?

How unrelenting and ignorant does your desperation have to be to put on, yourself, the yoke your enemies wish to put upon you, in hopes of persuading them of your "decency"?

How vacant of brain, how void of historical sense, how callous to the weeping families of the slain, to admire the art and culture of those committed to genocide in principle?

How drunk in power, how delusional in hope, how pitiful in strategem?

loppyd,
One would HAVE to be crazy to go crazy at Hermes. Either that or drive your own Brinks truck.

Pelosi claims, IIRC, to be a Catholic. I have a funny feeling she doesn't attend church regularly, except during campaign season. (See also Bill Clinton).

Of course, not only does she support abortion rights through the very instant of birth, I strongly suspect, like another supposed Catholic, Jean Francois Qerie, she believes it is such an important right that the taxpayers should pay for it.

IIRC, the bishop in St. Louis said Qerie was not welcome to receive Communion when he was campaigning there. I wish more American bishops would have the courage and ask the more extreme supporters of abortion not to pretend they are Catholic.

muslim women aren't covered to remind of the presence of G-d.

I really hope someone in the RNC is hurriedly buying rights to that picture for the 2008 campaign season...

Back to Pelosi, she has made a Fool out of herself also and how she can show her ugly face when she comes back is beyond me.

I think if someone insisted Nancy Pelosi cover her head during a mass, she'd squall like a scalded cat. We'd have Rosie O'Donnell writing haikus about the misogyny of the Catholic church and the mouth breathers at Huff-n-Puff and Kosstards would be apoplectic.

#219 Mr. Green

That "mosque" probably was a Christian church in the not too distant past.

FWIW, the wikipedia entry says the head of John the Baptist is there "according to Muslim tradition." They found it when they were excavating prior to construction. link In other words, it is far more likely the head of the Baptist is somewhere else.

Someone might have already said this in previous comments, I haven't read them yet, but the scarf isn't covering enough. This POS ought to be in a burka so she'll know how it feels when the muslims take-over do to her stupidity.

Although it is tradition for women to cover their head when visiting a mosque, I don't necessarily know that it will viewed simply as an American following local custom. Instead, it could very well be seen as more of a political move, as the very potent image of an American politician bowing to Islam. At least, that's how the Muslim media might spin it.

So we Catholics require women to wear head scarves, though none do, while nowhere in the koran does it say that women must waer them, yet they all do?

In the words of Ray Davies "It's a mixed-up, run amok, shook-up world,..."

OK -- question...

tomb containing the head of St. John the Baptist inside the historic Ommayad Mosque

Why the heck is John's head in a friggin mosque? I know that Herod's daughter Salome requested his head as reward for a dance...

But how did it end up in the mosque?

Lurch, dear - Representatives Aderholt & Wolf, whichever fine state they may call home, are somewhere down towards the bottom of the barrel in the line-up to replace POTUS is the even of a national disaster. Pelosi had gone there specifically and entirely to conduct diplomacy that she is not authorized to conduct in an effort to undermine the sitting President of the United States.

Aderholt & Wolf are merely stupid tools. Pelosi is a lawbreaker and a traitor.

There is a difference, however, in meeting with the leaders of de facto enemy states. While actively working to undermine the policy of the President, while the de facto enemy supports the combatants opposed to US troops in the country next door.

[Link: www.upi.com...]

From the Wikipedia article on the Umayyad Mosque

"Initially, the Muslim conquest of Damascus in 636 did not affect the church, as the building was shared by Muslim and Christian worshippers. It remained a church although the Muslims built a mud brick structure against the southern wall so that they could pray. Under the Umayyad caliph Al-Walid I, however, the church was demolished and between 706 and 715 the current mosque built in its place."

The result of "peaceful coexistence" then and now...

Sen. Pelosi, Nancy (Dhim-Cal)

The rulers of the Arab countries can be divided into 3 groups: the reformers, the reactionaries, and the largest group, the fence-sitters. By visiting the leading reactionary state, Pelosi has enhanced Syrian influence, undercut the reformers and let the fence-sitters know which side is safest.

I still think we'll see liberal women start wearing headscarves and calling it "fashion" very soon. IIRC we've already started seeing them on the runways.

And the burka makes a great cover for criminal activity, so I'm sure the libs will enjoy that as well.

The key point being that there used to be (among other things) a church there. Note the "used to be" part.

Symbol-rich environment:

Ms. Nancy seen smiling over the head of John the Baptist.
Does she smile because she knows another cheap dancer, Salome got her head? We all know who's head Ms. Nancy wants served on a silver platter.

Salome danced for the head to please her mother, Herodias, who wanted revenge on John the Baptist. Who is the "mother" Ms. Nancy dances for?

Do I have my history right? Do I have my democratic politics right?

Republicans that are with her are traitors too... Doesn't freakin matter to me...

What is alarming and siturbing and will play out across the Arab world is that the US Speaker of the House, number 2 in the line of succession, is having discussions with foreign enemy governments that the Administration won't even give the time of day to...

With due respect to Charles, the head of John the Baptist in an ancient mosque is no more "quaint" or unusual than any one of the dozens of severed limbs, bloody rags, or other "holy relics" found throughout Christian churches of Western Europe and parts of the Middle East. John the Baptist is also a highly regarded prophet in Islam, as well as the Bahai faith and Mandaeism, in which John the Baptist is actually considered the greatest of all prophets, even above Jesus.

@227 cblesz:

No, it is very, very similar to Christianity. I've read the Quran, and I've been friends with a few Muslims from Bosnia - and you know what's funny? It's not a conspiracy to take over the world, it's a religion just like yours. They don't like the fact that a minority of people are bastardizing select parts of their beliefs for violence - both the terrorists attempting to legitimize their hate, or people here, attempting to legitimize hate. And what could they do? You know as well as I do that a Muslim who speaks out against terrorism will be struck down just the same.

Re #207 Given that Pelosi was visiting a mosque, I retract my criticism of her wearing the veil in that context. Have to stay honest, here, and I hadn't read that she went into the religious site. However, the suggestion that the Christian traditions and the Islamic traditions are parallel on this issue of covering women is still false, needless to day.

Regardless, we're all adults here. Well, mostly. Speaker Pelosi should feel welcome to dress how she feels is appropriate. I would have preferred that she show the local Syrian (and Middle East since this trip was likely carried on all the local news outlets) women that it isn't the end of the world if a woman shows her head of hair off in public, but she didn't. Oh well.

For the record, Rep. Wolf et al were not third in line for the Presidency of the United States and would not be viewed as potential State Department negotiators by the local media or dictatorships. Therefore, a Kucinich (D) or Wolf (R) can "fact find" without raising potential such flags. Other than the potential waste of taxpayer money these trips entail, of course.

If I ever find myself in a situation where someone wants me to cover my head, I'm wearing a watch cap; it that isn't sufficient, then I'm wearing a ski mask, and they can bite me if they don't like it.

I don't scarf.

When I was a kid, I wore little lace doohickeys to Mass (and a Kleenex pinned to my hair when I forgot the lace thingy), but that was then. This is now.

Also, the colors are ok for her, but Speaker Pelosi would look better in a solid color. Not that it matters.

Is she in the midst of making the sign of the cross as she stands there in front of the Shrine of St. John the Baptist? The jihadis will have a field day with this. The Speaker has just made herself an official Enemy of Islam™ by trying to naively pay her respects. Apologies will not be accepted (but they may be demanded of her all the same).

Next time she goes to Damascus she should remember to bring a sword, and be sure to return with the head of Assad, which could then be given a place of honor in a little box in a closet near the Capital Rotunda. That would be a gesture sure to be understood by all.

And then there's the matter of the Ummayads. The Speaker wishes for the US to reach out and engage Iran in dialog? She is evidently unaware that Yazid, son of Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufian (the founder of the Ummayad dynasty), killed Hussein, son of Imam Ali and penultimate martyr of Shiism. Apologies will not be accepted (but they may be demanded of her all the same).

This is the Middle East. History matters. Symbols matter. Anyone failing to grasp those basic concepts is invited to stay home.
