As thousands of brave women tear off their hijabs across Iran, the two most famous hijab-wearing “feminists” in America have been shamefully quiet.
While many on the left consider Sarsour and Omar to be feminist freedom-fighters, neither seem interested in women’s rights when the patriarchy is Islamic.
Chesler challenges Muslim women who claim to be leading players in the women’s movement: “When will these particular Muslim women activists and legislators, all professional defenders of Muslims, decide that Muslim women are also worthy of defending?”
Charles Jacobs adds: Just as the left abandoned black slaves a generation ago because they were owned by Arabs and not white South Africans, today, the “woke” left is doing the same to women victims of Islamic patriarchy.
