Laura Bush Subservient to Muslims

You'll be subservient to Muslims too, if you ever meet one.
I don't think that respecting your host's religion is being
"subserviant".

Right Wing Smears Pelosi As 'Subservient' For Wearing Scarf - What About
Laura Bush?
Yesterday, right-wing Internet gossip Matt Drudge posted a photo of Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wearing a headscarf while visiting the tomb of John the
Baptist inside the Umayyad mosque in Damascus.
As Mahablog points out, the right-wing is now seething:
HotAir: "The campaign commercial practically writes itself. Ah well. A woman
must know her place when entering a mosque. . It pains the left too, I'm
sure, to see the most powerful woman in America having to yield, however
slightly, to a misogynistic culture's expectations, but they can't vent
their anger at the people responsible so they'll vent it at Charles or me or
whomever instead."
Instapundit: FEMINIST IN AMERICA, subservient in Syria.
The New Editor: "This picture disgusts me. What message is Nancy Pelosi
trying to send? Are women equal to men, or not? Why is modesty foisted only
upon women?"
Little Green Footballs: "Pelosi in a Hijab. The modern Democratic
leadership. How . quaint."
Apparently they never saw Laura Bush when she visited al-Aqsa mosque in
Jerusalem:
