I'm wondering how Hillary can "negotiate" with these extremist if she is elected unless she wears her veil.
Let's be realistic. Common sense says this is an impromptu time for a woman as president.
I'd love to see a woman president eventually yet this is not a logical time.
Nobody entering or leaving any country should be aloud to do so with their face cloaked under a veil.

Yes. Those Muslim women are in the west. We don't wear veils. If they want to practice their religion to that extent they need to move back to a country where it is acceptable. I liken this to a American woman in Saudi Arabia wanting to drive around town in a pair of Jean and a sweatshirt. It's illegal there.

Yes. Veils are not traditional dress in the west. If they are going to use traditional muslim practice as an excuse then the women wouldn't be negotiating or talking for themselves, their husbands would be doing it as a woman does not conduct business with a man according to traditional muslim custom. They conveniently chose which traditions to follow and which to cast aside as they please.
