On Wednesday, Legal Insurrection posted an article about a recent appearance by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at a Muslim event.

The article quotes The Washington Free Beacon:

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wore a hijab during a visit last week to a Bronx mosque where the powerful New York Democrat sat alongside a cleric who once celebrated Hamas for “causing so much trouble for the Jews” and has hailed Osama bin Laden’s spiritual mentor.

Gillibrand, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, appeared at the Bronx Muslim Center, located in New York City’s “Little Yemen,” on Sept. 21, according to photos posted by the center’s outreach director. The photos show Gillibrand wearing a pink headscarf and seated next to Hamud Alsilwi, a Yemeni cleric who has led the Bronx Muslim Center since 1998.

…The Bronx mosque is a branch of the Muslim American Society, which federal prosecutors have described as an “overt arm” of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.

Alsilwi has praised Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and hailed Sheikh Abdul Majeed al-Zindani, an influential Islamic scholar designated as a terrorist over his ties to bin Laden.

The article notes:

As noted earlier, Gillibrand is far from the only prominent elected female Democrat in New York who has taken this approach. We also saw this from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) during a May event designed “to celebrate the start of Eid al-Adha (the Muslim religious holiday that honors the importance of unwavering faith, submission, and charity).” With a heavy emphasis for women in particular on “submission,” no doubt.

Wearing a hijab is not simply a courteous or religious act. It is giving credence to the idea that women are inferior creatures with no rights. It is a visual representation of the subservience of women in Islam.  At some point, Americans need to realize that the goal of Islam is not to coexist within America–it is to conquer America and put in place Sharia Law. I guess the feminist movement has somehow failed to notice what the role of women is in an Islamic society.
