Muslim Woman Demands Obama Apology

June 20, 2008 | ISSUE 44•25

A Detroit Muslim said that she was refused a seat behind Barack Obama's podium at a campaign rally because she was wearing the traditional head scarf. What do you think?

I thought we agreed to keep the Muslims in the nation's attic until the election was over.

I don't blame him. I wouldn't let anybody sit behind me in Detroi

Maybe she just wasn't worthy of sitting behind the head Muslim.
