The U.S. has yet again insulted 1.5 billion Muslims. Somehow [1] executions of children, [2] clampdowns on dissent and [3] death fatwas against people in distant lands don't seem to insult them. From the [4] Indo-Asian News Service, with thanks to Nicolei:

Tehran, Feb 10 : Iranian women's groups and NGOs are upset over a new US law that requires women who apply for visas to present pictures without their Islamic headscarves, reports Xinhua....

"The US rudeness against Muslim women is an assault against their cultural identity, dignity, religion and national beliefs," the letter said. "The measure was also an insult against 1.5 billion Muslims around the world," it said.
