Obnoxious defender of Sharia (and ignorant poseur) is the new face of feminism

Daniel Pipes provides some interesting background on Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers of the papier mache vagina parade that took place after Trump's inauguration. Here's a taste:
I learned about Sarsour’s ignorance of history. She promotes a fantasy notion of Islam’s founder, Muhammad: “Our prophet was a racial justice activist, a human rights activist, a feminist in his own right. He was a man that cared about the environment. He cared about animal rights. … He was also the first victim of Islamophobia.” Her musings on American slavery caught my eye: “The sacrifice [that] the black Muslim slaves went through in this country is nothing compared to Islamaphobia [sic] today.”
Yep, that sure sounds like ol' Mo, doesn't it?

  1. Her hijab is wrapped so tight, her brain doesn't get any oxygen. Besides, she's a woman, so she isn't supposed to have an education.

  2. Yeah and Australia's aborigines were all Muslims before the white man came they say, converted by Indonesian fishermen. Great theory.

    It isn't just her, there are whole schools of whacky non-western histories, which are verified by accusing dissenters of being racists. The Hindus are just as bad:

  3. Bruce: Really? They've actually been peddling that hogwash in Australia? Astounding. And, in other circumstances, I suppose it would be hilarious.

  4. There actually were camel herders from British India ('Afghans') who intermarried with the aborigines, but the 'reversion' stuff is baloney:

  5. 1960s US 'black power' was influential among educated Aborigines. It's the sociologists here who counter the dogma:

  6. Meanwhile we have more immediate problems with Middle East refugees trying to create no-go crime zones, this is just one that's in the news:
