Ibtihaj Muhammad is one of the world’s best athletes and a champion fencer. She also happens to be both Muslim and American, and so she competes for the red, white and blue in Rio’s 2016 Olympic games. Sadly, Muhammad’s spectacular athletic talent is now being overshadowed by her ridiculous personal opinions and her poor personal choices..........“[I feel unsafe] all the time. ......(Sarcastic Side Note: Can you believe her racist teammates only voting her 2nd out of 550+ Olympians! I mean choosing America’s greatest Olympian ever to carry the flag instead of this woman who competes in one of the least popular sports in the games! Racists.)...........Where is this terrible rash of Islamophobia? According to the FBI, 57% of religiously motivated attacks in 2014 were focused against… JEWS. Not Muslims. In fact, out of the 1140 anti-religious hate crimes that year:
648 were attacks on Jews
98 were attacks on Christians (Catholic and Protestant)
So, let’s just be clear… there is no reason to fear anti-Muslim violence in America today.
Also, would she suffer similar fear if she lived in Libya, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia or any other Muslim nation? 140 million girls are forcefully circumcised in these countries. Women are not allowed to drive, or own property in some of these countries. Women are murdered for falling in love, having sex, or even being raped in some of these countries. Women can’t leave home without a male leading the way in some of these countries. Women are beaten for speaking out of turn in some of these countries. In fact, in some of these countries… women can’t actually compete in sports.
But in America, Ms. Muhammad can become a world-class athlete, drive her car to the airport, vote for a woman for president, and complain about her country in the national media and she can do this all without a real rational fear of reprisal.
Man, America sucks… right Ms. Muhammad?......To Read More....
