Maybe it's a form of jizya

"Associated Press reported Thursday that Pennsylvania State Representative Movita Johnson-Harrell, a hijab-wearing Muslim and a Democrat, has been charged with 'enriching herself by stealing money from a nonprofit organization she founded to serve the mentally ill and poor who were fighting addiction.' And so once again we get a lesson in the dangers of identity politics."

More from Robert Spenser: "Her value, in others words, was as a symbol, not as a legislator. It is likely that when Democratic Party top dogs were deciding on who should run for the State House from her district, no one knew or cared whether Movita Johnson-Harrell would be an honest or competent state representative. Her value was solely in the fact that she was a racial and religious minority, a Sharia-adherent Muslim in a party that reveres such people."

One would hope that the constituents of such frauds would eventually wise up and kick these people out of office, but unfortunately, the removal of these con artists seems to only happen as the result of criminal investigations by law enforcement agencies at the state and federal levels.

Islam is a cancer. Kudos to India who welcome victims of religious persecution, but NOT ISLAM!

Well, she's mentally ill, and addicted to Islam, so she's just cutting out the middle man.
