No headscarf, Obama may skip Golden Temple visit

No headscarf, Obama may skip Golden Temple visit

This line caught my eye: "Indian officials were informally told that Obama wearing a headscarf to visit the Golden Temple may convey an image of him appearing to be a Muslim. This is one misinterpretation Obama’s advisors did not want at any cost, given the political sensitivities over this issue in the US."

A pleasant change from our homegrown politicians with "secular" leanings scrambling for a skull cap to sip porridge during Ramzan's rearranged mealtimes.

Also, compare against the Group of Morons (GoM) that wanted to have some Islam during the CWG ceremonies.
