Description:

Two Muslim women attending Barack Obama's rally in Detroit said they were barred by campaign volunteers from sitting directly behind the presidential candidate because they wear head scarfs.

Hebba Aref, a 25-year-old lawyer, said a member of her group was told by a volunteer that she could not invite Aref because of "a sensitive political climate."

I think it is ridiculous that this happened, but the press would have had a field day if the women were sitting behind him. He couldn't win.

So racial/theological oppression is ok if it is done on behalf of a black man? It would have been better to take the hit by the media so that he can stand up for the rights of all.
