Fear...he's afraid of a young woman in a hijab.”The United States congress is not a public place.”The United States congress is not a public place. Your questions are ridiculous. And just that for 181 years no one has demanded an exception to this rule and now the left willingly yields to Muslim demands should tell anyone with half a brain something ominous.What’s wrong with this? Where have laws ever been crafted to prevent people from wearing something of religious content in public? Are students in public schools not allowed to wear yarmulkes or hajibs?
Congressmen/women are public servants and most of the Capitol is open to the public. Even the House & Senate galleries when not in session and to visitors acquiring a pass from a legislator when it is.

But that’s neither here nor there, the salient point is that the rule that is in place has nothing to do with religion. It’s not like that rule was put in place to separate church from state. Furthermore, this only applies to the House as the Senate allows religious head coverings...
...he shall not permit any person to place any object whatsoever--including hats, coats, or other personal apparel--or portion of a person on any railing, or any male to wear a hat, except that where a man's religious beliefs require that he wear a head-cover in such public places as the Senate Gallery, then such head-cover shall be permitted;

... so what is the objection other than this being nothing more than conservative rage where the right presents a knee-jerk response to anything the left promotes?
The establishment clause you stupid tard
Es·tab·lish·ment Clause
noun
LAW
- the clause in the First Amendment of the US Constitution that prohibits the establishment of religion by Congress.
This has nothing at all to do with the Establishment Clause. No one is being required to wear anyone else's religious symbol. Islam is not being elevated to be the official religion of the U.S. House of Representatives. Where are you getting this stuff???
