The hijab is a religious expression of subjugation and obedience to Islam and therefore has no place in the halls of government. It floors me that the left has adopted this head scarf as some type of Che T-shirt...They are truly dangerous idiots.

Like most of my fellow American Muslims, I spent much of 2016 watching with consternation as Donald Trump vilified our community.

Like most of my fellow American, I spent much of 2016 watching with consternation as Muslims beheaded non-Muslims.

The hijab is a signal that the wearer is shariah compliant. Not a good thing.

‘...Islam as “incompatible with the modern West. My whole life and everything I have learned proves that facile statement wrong.’

But the fact that you left your job helps prove it CORRECT

Yea, she never once mentioned her religious kin slaughtering Christians and calliing for their deaths, or that her religion is responsible for slavery by omission in the New World.

If we take this essay at face-value and accept everything she says it still doesn’t address the basic problem of her ‘community’ harboring those that hate western values to the point of violence in total silence. Instead of attacking the country she professes to love, maybe she should take a hard look at her co-religionists.

What she does not understand is that it is not about her. It is about people who would commit atrocities in the name of her religion. If they succeed, then it WILL be about her. The constitution is not a suicide pact. If we are backed into a corner by Islamic terrorism on our own soil, there will be pressure from all sides to take extreme measures and it will not be good for her and her family. She should want to nip that in the bud. SMH.

I could care less about this person. She’s acting as if she’s a martyr. My advise to her is get a real job, but I’m sure she’s now with a lobby firm or think tank.

When Trump issued a ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries and all Syrian refugees, I knew I could no longer stay and work for an administration that saw me and people like me not as fellow citizens, but as a threat>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You feel threatened Rumana Ahmed , by our president keeping what happens in Europe from coming to our country? Rumana, you are not an American, and never will be.

I am glad you left the white House. Your message to all of America is : The Umma will never support The Constitution, nor will the Umma report Islamofascists when they manifest inside their own mosques.

A Hijabi who quits like this should keep on going, not to stop in your residence in America, but head for the airport and make a swift return to your family’s point of origin.

What is newsworthy with this woman is not that a progressive quit a job but that a progressive actually had a job...although I am providing her the benefit of the doubt in view of the fact that it was a Federal gubmint job.

The entire presidential support structure of nonpartisan national security and legal experts within the White House complex and across federal agencies was being undermined.

The swamp. When the entire presidential support structure is so totally of one philosophy there is no diversity. Now with a mix of the swamp dwellers and new blood it is more diverse.

Diversity does not come from wearing a hijab... or a Rush tie. Diversity comes when you realize that the mind beneath the hijab is closed.

It was only later that I learned he authored an essay under a pseudonym, extolling the virtues of authoritarianism and attacking diversity as a “weakness,” and Islam as “incompatible with the modern West.”

is her job still open? Sounds like a smart boss

Agreed. All these town hall meetings disruptors too are not real. Manufactured leftists.

Articulate Taquiyya.

“In February, three young American Muslim students were killed in their Chapel Hill home by an Islamophobe.”

A lie. From wiki, which leans heavily leftist:

“After initial investigations, a U.S. Attorney for North Carolina said the killings were “not part of a targeted campaign against Muslims”

Much of it is right out of the “progressive” playbook. I suspect a great deal is simply made up, like so many of the fake “hate crimes” we have seen.

Not a single mention of all the attacks done by Muslims. No mention of the Orlando Massacre, for example.

This is bold taqiyya.

Correct!! and would do us in, in a minute.

It’s a sign of a controlled woman behind that costume... controlled by islam, and by the men. Freedoms given up for their god... what a way to live!
