Queen Beatrix in headscarf row

Give me a break!  Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands  covered her head when she visited a mosque in Oman, during an official visit.  Several Dutch politicians began foaming at the mouth because of it.  Do these same politicians issue expletives when the Queen wears a hat to church? 

Queen Beatrix called the criticism "nonsense."
