Now this is ridiculous. I know Hillary is trailing in every single poll, but attempting to paint Barack as some Islamic extremist is nuts. There's several inherent problems with what she's trying to do:
1. Historically, US Presidents, Congressmen, and Government officials all dress up in the traditional dress of whichever country they are visiting. (see below)
2. Attempting to play on the country's fears of 9/11 is shameful. Invoking anti-Muslim sentiment over and over again to try and win an election is as low as Flo-rida (without the catchy hook). Haven't Muslims suffered enough in the last 7 years from politicians stereotyping a religion that preaches love based on the work of extremists who have drastically mis-read the Qur'an?"The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr." - The Prophet Muhammad
3. Not only is Hillary making herself look bad, but she is coming dangerously close to fracturing the Democratic party AND setting herself up for a defeat whenever she's up for election. People discuss her legacy and what impact going negative will have on the way people view her. I can tell you this - if she continues on this course of action, her name will forever be associated with dirty politics, fear-mongering and stereotyping all for the sake of politics.
Shame on you, Hillary! Shame on you!
