Muslim countries tend to require women from other countries to cover up when visiting in the Muslim country.
I’ve heard that even American service women in Muslim countries are required to cover up when they are off base/off duty.
So Americans follow those countries wishes, so why do Muslims go ballistic in America when they are asked to uncover for certain reasons? Like when a woman was stopped by a police officer in Florida and asked to uncover her face to be identified and everyone flipped out at the audacity he had to ask her to do such a thing.
What gives?

It is not usually against the American service woman's religion or strict beliefs to have to cover up her face, so this is why she is more tolerant to do so. On the other hand, a Muslim woman in America made to uncover her face goes against everything she was brought up to believe.

Because everyone comes here for that "American Freedom". They can come here and refuse to identify themselves to police on religious grounds(as above), be an illegal alien and yet have your baby here for free,etc.

It will make you feel good to know that the woman in Florida who refused to remove her garments for a license photo lost in court. She was required to remove them.
