Remini was born into it, she was raised as a little child inside Scientology by her parents and other relatives. That’s why it was so brave of her to leave; and they are all such a tight family that they left with her.

Remini wasn’t born into it. Elizabeth has been indoctrinated and threatened since birth of the consequences and is well aware of the physical and emotional punishment that becomes you. Although her money and fame provide her a cushier position in the church now it would be a hard to fight against everything you’ve…

Also, didn’t Rasmeah Odeh lie on her immigration forms too? But everyone on the left is fine with letting that go and saying she had her reasons, but no such generosity is extended to Hirsi Ali...

I wish I could give you more stars. Those same issues exist within Christianity and Judaism as well but you can criticise Christian fundies all you want for their treatment of minorities but if you say anything about Islam doing the same then you’re an Islamophobe. Does not compute.

She is a regressive leftist trying to normalize the oppression of women if related to her religion and homeland. The immense cognitive dissonance on display is just crazy. She isn’t even damn feminist, she is like a covert op trying to get people to support her disgusting agenda of keeping women oppressed if they are…

Headscarves are symbols of female oppression. Funny that the Handmaid’s Tale headdress is now fashionable to show misogynistic oppression, but the hijab is somehow a symbol of feminism??

If being anti-Israel, and loudly so, is a prerequisite for being a True Progressive (ugh), then so should being loudly anti-Islamic theocracies. They’re the only theocracies left (well, except for the square mile that is the Vatican), and tens of millions of women suffer greatly under them. It’s a far greater problem,…

None of that is true. Neither the Observer or Asian Tribune articles cited even back up the claim that she made up the arranged marriage. Look at the other sources too. For instance, the “militarily” quote is taken out of context.

Rasmea Odeh also lied on her asylum documents. It’s almost like people who are desperate for safety will do whatever they can to get it?

It’s simply impossible to take seriously someone who says they are “feminist” and supports Sharia law, which results in terrible discrimination for hundreds of million of women, far more than exist in the occupied territories. That’s why people think you are full of shit.

She actually is really pretty awful, and shame on Jez for not discussing that.

Linda is always bashing people who question Islam. Usually secular Muslims and those that have left the faith for numerous mistreatment issues. To be honest, Linda uses the “I’m a liberal” stance to silence the minority within the minority. Muslims in US are a minority and looked down upon, but within Muslim…

“I have reported your post for hate speech.”

I stand by my comment that Hamas would kill all the Jews they can. But that doesn’t mean I think all Muslims are blood thirsty savages. Saying Hamas would kill Jews is like saying ISIS would kill Jews. I know that Hamas doesn’t speak for all Muslims, just Bibi Netanyahu doesn’t speak for me.

Well, I don’t know Emily Shire and I’m also sick of Jezebel demonising her as well while holding Sarsour up as some kind of martyred saint, so maybe stop trying to dismiss someone’s opinion based on her knowing the person in question. I don’t think Sarsour is a terrorist the way the far right try to portray her but I…

Well bless your heart. If you can’t tell them apart maybe you should wait until you can. Cause comparing Jews to white supremacists is pretty much peak antisemitism.

For one thing, Obeh has taken credit for the bombing outside of Israeli custody, had the equipment used to manufacture the bombs, and has never found anything that corroborates her claims of coercion.

They are not “girls” or “females.” They are women. They are not children, animals, or hardware, but human people JUST LIKE YOU. Human females are called women. Use that word. Don’t use other words, unless you wish to communicate your disrespect overtly.

Women. Woman. Women. Woman.

That seems irrational given that men are more likely to be murdered and more likely to be a victim of violence.
