Then either don't run the photo or, if you must photo-shop them out, issue a disclaimer stating that Hillary Clinton and another woman were there, but were edited out for religious reasons. If it really is a question of modesty, then there are ways you can do that while still respecting the women who were there.

But they didn't do that, did they? They just photo-shopped Hillary out without any further discussion. And in doing so, they sent the message that there were no women present to advise the President at that critical hour.

And that's A LIE. it's not that they have different religious beliefs, it's that THEY LIED. They chose to pretend that there were no women present at all, and that is why this is misogynist and denigrative. And may I remind you, the rules about modesty were made by rabbis, but the law about not bearing false witness against thy neighbor is set in stone.
