Are you against headscarfs as a personal choice, Yogthos?
Just so we’re clear, you didn’t answer the question. Should different individuals have a choice about whether or not to wear a headscarf?
Or is the answer that you instead believe that the choice wasn’t the interviewers but instead directed by, uh, “The West”?
Absolutely, everybody should have a choice over that. The obvious problem with your line of arguing is that CNN could’ve easily found someone who would wear a headscarf to interview the Iranian president as well. The fact that you couldn’t see the obvious flaw in your argument really highlights the quality of your intellect.
So I think by reading the comments I understand the context here.
A CNN reporter, Amanpour, was going to interview the Iranian President. The president demanded the female wear a head scarf. The CNN reporter declined because she is a strong independent woman or something, so the Iranian president didn’t show up. This same reporter then interviewed a former member of ISIS/Al Qaeda, and now suddenly she is wearing a headscarf. However for some reason interviewing this Al Qaeda member while wearing a headscarf is more important then whatever principles she supposedly has?
The implication is that she had no intention of conducting a good faith interview of the Iranian President at all. Is this correct?
That’s the gist of it, although it’s a different CNN report in the second interview I think. Clearly, CNN can find reporters who will wear a head scarf if they actually want to.
Yea lack of glasses probably a different reporter. But the fact that it is a different reporter shows that CNN could have accommodated the Iranian Presidents demands if they wanted to, then the fact that they accommodated the al qaeda guy shows it was never about the head scarf or Islam or anything like that.
