After Rose Hamid’s horrifying experience at Trump’s rally on Friday in South Carolina, many people might wonder how I survived a Trump rally wearing a bright-orange headscarf while holding a giant Qur’an – or why I went at all.
I went because I firmly believe that Hamid was on the right path: it is important for people to stand up peacefully for the right things, even if we are confronted with physical and verbal intimidation. It is important to give people that may not have ever met or interacted with a Muslim an opportunity to meet her and learn about Islam from someone that actually practices it. And it it important, at a time when people like me too often face discrimination and hatred living our daily lives, to be polite, and yet be visible and present when we are the subject of political speeches.
Yawn.
Not “in-your-face-INFIDEL!” or anything like that.
“I went to a Trump rally in my Maidenform bra.”
EXACTLY RIGHT. IN your face politics as practiced by the followers of 0bama, and for that matter the turd in the white hut himself (last night’s guests at the propaganda speech.)
Very telling - a muslim animal next to another animal with a pic on his shirt of another animal.
There’s a reason queer Obama likens himself to another queer - Abraham Lincoln.
Hey Kaddie Baby....go to Saudi and DON’T wear your Hijab!!!! Can you say “STONED TO DEATH????” YEs, I thought you could!! DUMBASS...go home if you don’t like it here.
He went because he firmly believe that he was on the right path: it is important for people to stand up peacefully for the right things, even if we are confronted with physical and verbal intimidation. It is important to give people that may not have ever met or interacted with a Pro Life Christian an opportunity to meet him and learn about the value of all life from someone that actually practices it. And it is important, at a time when people like him often face discrimination and hatred living daily lives, to be polite, and yet be visible and present when we are the subject of vitriolic speeches.
And all kinds of bad things happened to him at the rally: there were hard stares and dirty looks, profanity and gay rights supporter spitting on him but not one ounce of tolerance for opposing views. He didn't speak to any supportive people and had the type of hateful and vile discourse that one should expect at a Democrat event.
SNIP The most provocative act that I encountered occurred towards the beginning of my two-hour wait: a MoveOn supporter noticed me and immediately came down to my section of the line where he loudly announced that he was selling “Kill The Blob of Cells In Your Uterus, It's Your Blob of Cells To Kill†T-shirts (apparently, the desire to kill people is considered trendy fashion at a Democrat rally). He looked directly at me to see how I would react; I looked back at him, shook my head, smiled and said a prayer for his soul, as I patiently waited for someone to engage me in civil conversation.
Very different receptions.
WHO is the dumbass in the ugly outfit?? You can figure out which one I’m talking about.
My take as well. It's as close as they can stretch their rather cramped narrative to opening up to the truth.
I might gently suggest to the author that while she may object to bombing ISIS, ISIS does not object to bombing her.
Go to a Bernie rally wearing a Klan hood. See what kind of reception you get there.
Wearing Islamic dress in America, a burqa or hijab or even a headscarf, is a sign that you do not consider yourself an assimilated American, but an outsider, one who follows the Qoran, and who therefore wants us to submit to your phony god. When I see it, it tells me that there is someone who wants to destroy America. It is not a harmless ethnic manner of dressing, like some German octoberfest outfit, but a provocative political act.
>>he loudly announced that he was selling “Bomb The Hell Out Of Isis” T-shirts (apparently, the desire to kill people is considered trendy fashion at a Trump rally)
ISIS isn’t really people. ISIS is the enemy. They said so. I believe them.
After Rose Hamid's horrifying experience......y'know, the one where she was criticized for advocating the genocide of Jews living in Israel?
Sorry, I have met Muslims before. I have no desire to meet any more, but I have the freedom to meet or not meet any. I choose not to meet any.
Excellent translation.
I could hardly get past her use of the word "horrifying" in the first sentence. No, Ms. Abdul, "horrifying" does not describe what happened to Rosa Hamid, who was simply escorted out of an auditorium.
No, horrifying is what your co-religionists did to innocent people attending a Christmas party in San Bernardino.
Does she reject Sharia as the law of the Land as it applies to both those of the Islamic religion as Well as what she considers the infidel?
Does she recognize the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land over any interpretation of Sharia.
If she doesn’t, she needs deporting.
“Rose Hamid’s horrifying experience”
What is she talking about? Rose Hamid was a protester and was kicked out just like any other protester. Does she expect ‘special treatment’ just because she was Moslem?
What is horrifying is that Rose Hamid and her companion would wear a yellow Jew star (which the Nazi’s forced the Jews to wear while persecuting them), while professing a religion worldview that demands Israel be destroyed and Jews be killed.
I just can’t believe the level or restraint the attending public at the rally had over THAT horrifying experience, and over that incredible insult.
Sounds like she purposely disrupted the rally looking for trouble and was escorted out peacefully. The book is a nice touch, but I question her ability to read.
