Over at Times of Israel, However, Rebecca Bermeister Is Anything But a Dozy Bint: No ‘Solidarity Hijab’ for Her

‘But from our liberal and somewhat naive perspective, like Bluebeard’s young wife, we can’t conceive of the possibility that we may be being swindled.

‘Any attempts to raise the issue are dismissed as negativity, paranoia and Islamophobia; it’s a kind of cognitive dissonance.

‘Many of the women I know, who shuld have supported yesterday’s powerful display of female solidarity, chose instead to question the seeming madness.

‘Not necessarily because they are Trump supporters (nothing wrong with being that, btw – CM), or because they have lost their passion for womens rights, but rather, perhaps, because their tools of intuition have been severely sharpened – often by life itself.

‘They are to be found stalking social media like the sane amongst the crazy, looking for signs on foreheads, agreeing with each other’s posts with “likes” and ‘LOLS”.

‘The irony of feminists donning the hijab and protestors carrying signs saying, “Free contraception and Palestine”, cannot be lost on a million women. Surely.

‘Gloria Steinem stood up and declared that if a Muslim registry was set up, “We will all register as Muslim”, which is exactly what Islam wants.

‘But Asra Nomani, a Muslim feminist writer, commenting on a clip of demonstrators having their heads covered by Muslim women, she quotes her mother saying, “Americans are so naive.  So much blood has to spill before they wake up”.

‘And I join her, unapologetically, as  a Jewish feminist writer in saying, No, I will not sign your registry as a Muslim, I will not join your marches, I will not eat your candy, not matter how many feminist or humanitarian causes you wrap it in.  It is not kosher.

‘One protester in Tel Aviv was quoted by the Jerusalem Post, saying that she was protesting against “all the horrible things that are threatening to be done to women”.

‘I have news for you, honey.

‘The horrible things that have (as you yourself noted) not yet been done to women in the USA, are child’s play compared with the horrible things that may end up bieng done to women if enough of you naive, liberal feminists don that lovely Islamic head scarf and join the Muslim cause.

‘I am not Islamophobic, really I am not.  I understand that the Quran may be understood on many levels, and truly some of the loveliest people I know (oh, beware, beware, my dear, perhaps you are not yet quite as awake-up as you think you are; many a one before you has been fooled by charming, smiling, lovely, sweet-voiced moderate’ Muslims who they thought were their friends, right up to the awful moment when  something else, something truly terrifying, came snarling out from behind the smiling mask, and they realized, too late, that that was the reality, and the smiles and wiles had all been as false as Hell – CM) have the prayers of the Quran (and what awful prayers they are! curses, rather, many of them, as Nonie Darwish has explained, in her book about sharia, “Cruel and Usual Punishment” – CM) blasting across multiple flat screens in the bedrooms of their four-story homes.  I just don’t want them blasting across mine.

‘So, as much as I align with many of the causes, this time I will not be joining LInda Sarsour as she demonstrates (or pretends to demonstrate – CM) against misogyny.

‘Nor will I be joining Donna Hylton, convictd murderer, who sat time in jail for seventeen years for torturing a real-estate agent to death.  These women are dangerous and they are nasty.

‘The wolf in sheep’s clothing is not the ugly, clumsy orator who fumbles his way through the king’s court, swishing his pen like a sword; it is the women who take you by the hand and merrily skip you into the garden of their prophet – a prophet whose principles are ultimately, and dangerously, held higher than yours.”
