Answer 1

Yes I agree that Jack Shaw was right.
It is a fair question to ask, but it wasn't. an order.

Think of it this way.
You come into my office wearing a hat
I ask you to take your hat off ?. (you don't have to).
On the other hand I say Take your hat off !
( I'm giving you an order.)

Shaw was only asking (example I )

Answer 2

Anytime it is questionable as to why a person is in full burka-style clothing and security is involved with Islamic extremists in a country, the search should be called for and properly done. This man hiding in the costume of a female is a prime example of just such an instance

Answer 3

i'm wondering how Hillary can "negotiate" with those extremist if she is elected until eventually she wears her veil. enable's be sensible. common experience says that is an impromptu time for a lady as president. i'd like to make sure a lady president ultimately yet this isn't a logical time. no one getting into or leaving any united states of america must be aloud to succeed in this with their face cloaked below a veil.
