"Majority of blacks killed by other blacks" -- that's "offensive"?

You've seen this story, right? At left is the summary that appeared recently on the landing page of Canada's Notional Pest. The story is about Kathy Zhu, a beautiful (check out her Instagram page) 20-year-old of Chinese descent (Nota bene!) who won the Miss Michigan title recently, only to have it taken away from her over tweets which the PC police at Miss World America called "offensive" and "insensitive".

The first tweet that aroused the ire of the SJWs referred to Black Lives Matter. "Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks?" Ms Zhu wrote on Twitter in October 2017. "Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others." Is that offensive? From here it looks like a statement of fact followed by a sensible suggestion about what needs to be done about black-on-black crime.

In February 2018, in a tweet she has since deleted, Ms Zhu criticized a World Hijab Day awareness event at the University of Central Florida, where she had been a student before transferring. "There’s a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus," she wrote. "So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"

In an interview this weekend, Ms Zhu said her tweets had been taken out of context and that she was punished for her conservative views. Not wanting to wear a hijab did not make her an Islamophobe, she added. Ms Zhu told the British Independent newspaper she believes "coming out as conservative is harder than coming out as gay in today's society... I stand by each and every one of my tweets on my account. It is honestly sad that the left refers to statistics and facts as racist and insensitive."

The real problem (for the gliberals and "progressives") is that Ms Zhu is not just on the conservative side of social issues, but that she is a supporter of President Trump. In this photo from her Instagram page, she wears the MAGA hat [Have you got yours yet? Ed.], and should probably consider herself lucky that she hasn't been assaulted by masked antifa types.

"I am very glad that I now have the opportunity to speak out about the unjust treatment of conservatives," Ms Zhu said this weekend. She also touched upon the response she's had on social media, saying it's been "mostly positive. People support that I've decided to stand my ground instead of compromise on my beliefs and values."

"But of course," she added, "the negative reactions are from those that either have not read the articles and just saw clickbait headlines or believe that statistics are racist." Indeed. She might have added, as well, that the (((controlled media))) always concentrate on what they consider "hate crime" rather than on a person's First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and... dare we say it... freedom of thought!

Footnote: Lucky for Ms Zhu she doesn't live in Canada, land of M-103. The ultra-Liberal government of Just In Trudeau is rumoured to be intent on resurrecting Section 13 of the Human Rights Act, which was used in the past to clobber free thinkers (Hello, Mark Steyn!) who dared to utter facts -- not opinions but facts -- about, errr, the "Religion of Peace". Fortunately for Canucks, they will have an opportunity in just under three months to undo the hyuge mistake they made in the fall of 2015.

Guest editorial: Embrace liberty, get rid of the hijab!

Walt likes to make readers aware of important dates and events -- things you should know so that you can make the proper adjustments to your view of the world. In particular, you must think some more about the Religion of Peace (TM) and how our society should embrace it, and all followers of the Prophet Mohammed, including (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and the Taliban. M-103.

You will hear more about being nice to Muslims on February 1st, which the powers that be (you know who they are) have decreed to be World Hijab Day. Seriously. Not making this up. The good folks at Dr. Rich Swier's blog have submitted an editorial which Walt is pleased to post below.

The mission of World Hijab Day (February 1st) is to allegedly make non-Muslims aware of the societal response to Muslim women who wear a hijab. Perhaps Muslim women feel uncomfortable wearing the hijab in public because they know that millions of Americans see the hijab as exemplifying one of many harsh tenets of Sharia law that oppress women.

The hijab has replaced the pink triangle as the progressive left’s top symbol of diversity. However, tens of millions of Americans including thousands of Muslim women view the hijab as a symbol of Islamist, misogynistic repression. Nearly sixty percent of Muslims in America do not wear the hijab according to Pew Research published by NPR on April 21, 2011.

Some scholars of Islam teach that the Quran does not mandate the hijab. The hijab was invented and mandated by Mussah Sadr, an Iranian mullah, in the 1970s, 1300 years after the Quran was written. Sadr issued a Sharia edict that required women to wear the hijab to allegedly prevent their rape. Women In The World media published an article on September 15, 2015 titled “The day 100,000 Iranian women protested the head scarf.” The article displayed a seldom-seen collection of photographs, shot in Tehran in 1979, of thousands of women who are not wearing hijabs or other oppressive attire prior to Sadr enforcing Iran’s new Islamist hijab law.

British Muslim Qanta Ahmed wrote on March 18, 2017 in The Spectator UK: “As a Muslim, I strongly support the right to ban the veil. At last, the European Court of Justice has made a stand for European values. Rigid interpretations of the veil are a recent invention. They’re derived not from the Quran or early Islamic tradition but from a misogyny which claims a false basis in the divine.”

The same Sharia law that dictates women must wear the hijab also advocates harsh discipline (abuse) of wives, genital mutilation of girls and honor killing of allegedly dishonorable females. Hopefully, Muslim women will embrace the fullness of the liberty that is extended to them by the United States Constitution by doffing the oppressive hijab as most other Muslim women have done in America as well as take a stand against the harsh Sharia tenets that oppress them.
