The mistake L’Oreal made was choosing Amena Khan, a hair-covered hijabed anti-semite, to represent hair products. Surely that will serve as a textbook case of PR blunders. That said, L’Oreal did the right thing in removing her. L’Oreal has an ugly history of antisemitism. People were outraged at their choice. I applaud all those of you who called them out. It was incumbent upon them to do the right thing. Not to mention a hair-covered model for a hair ad is the height of submission and stupidity.
It was an awful mistake, but L’Oreal corrected it.

Revlon, on the other hand, made a similar mistake (actually worse), but is still hiding under their desks. Their vocal antisemite refused to receive a Revlon beauty award from a Jew (international film star Gal Gadot). Interesting, considering that Revlon chairman Ronald Perlman considers himself a proud Jew. Shame on him. It’s not enough to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk, Ron.
L’Oreal model steps down after anti-Israel tweets uncovered
By Amy Spiro, Jerusalem Post, January 22, 2018 16:49Woman who rejected Revlon award over Gal Gadot also deletes Twitter posts.
“I deeply regret the content of the tweets I made in 2014, and sincerely apologise for the upset and hurt that they have caused,” she wrote. “Championing diversity is one of my passions, I don’t discriminate against anyone. I have chosen to delete them as they do not represent the message of harmony that I stand for.”
Khan said she has chosen to step down from the L’Oréal campaign “because the current conversations surrounding it detract from the positive and inclusive sentiment that it set out to deliver.”
In response to a request for comment, L’Oreal told The Jerusalem Post that it had “recently been made aware” of Khan’s tweets. “We appreciate that Amena has since apologized for the content of these tweets and the offence they have caused,” said a representative for the company. “L’Oréal Paris is committed to tolerance and respect towards all people. We agree with her decision to step down from the campaign.”
Khan was unveiled just last week as one of the new faces in an ad campaign for hair care products, where she appeared wearing her hijab.
“Whether or not your hair is on display doesn’t affect how much you care about it,” said the beauty blogger from Leicester, England. But after the international attention brought by the groundbreaking ad, Khan found herself hastily deleting several tweets that used harsh language relating to Israel.
In the deleted messages, captured by screenshots and tweet-saving services, Khan called Israel a “sinister state,” an “illegal state” and said the country is full of “child murderers” and hoped defeat for it would be coming. In other posts on social media that had not been deleted, Khan accused Israel of “Torture. Murder. Rape. Genocide” and falsely claimed that “Orthodox Jews themselves condemn the actions of Israel.”
Khan has participated in L’Oreal campaigns since late 2016, when she was part of an advertisement for foundation. There is no little amount of irony involved in her cooperation with L’Oreal, which has operated a factory in Migdal Ha’emek for decades. The company has faced many boycott calls over the years from BDS supporters over its extensive business ties with Israel.
Last week, beauty competitor Revlon also faced controversy after it offered a “changemaker” award to a Muslim activist who rejected the recognition over the involvement of Gal Gadot.
Amani al-Khatahtbeh, a writer and the founder of MuslimGirl.com, said last week that she could not accept the recognition “with Gal Gadot as the ambassador.” She added that Gadot’s “vocal support of the Israeli Defense Forces’ actions in Palestine goes against MuslimGirl.com’s morals and values.”
Gadot, the Israeli star of the hit Wonder Woman film, was recently announced as the new face of Revlon’s “Live Boldly” campaign.
Khatahtbeh, as well, has a series of social media posts – both now-deleted and those remaining – that attack the State of Israel.
In one deleted tweet, preserved by Google cache, she wrote that “Zionism uses Jews as human shields.” In non-deleted posts, Khatahtbeh called the IDF “terrorist” and compared Israel to ISIS, writing: “Muslims protested #Israel’s human rights violations, and now they’re protesting #ISIS’s too.
Revlon did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

These hijabi wearing haters are a real insult to true women of God like Mother Theresa.
They are no different to the illegal immigrants who murder and rape to further there jihad and then the mainstream media carry on saying jihad is trendy. The mainstream media will twist it around and say ‘My jihad is going to Starbucks for a latte.’ and totally camouflage the true meaning of jihad therefore aiding and abetting the enemy.
I see high level arrests going down in the democrats and in the mainstream media because it’s time for the smack down and for the traitors to be charged with tyranny and sent to Guatanamo bay indefinitely.
It’s time to tell promullaphobias that they are enemy combatants of the USA for promoting islamaphobia as truth. The alternative Paris and the UK both turned into #SHITHOLES by the traitors within.
NEVER FORGET THE DEMOCRATS PUT ILLEGALS OVER US CITIZENS the taxpayer.

No doubt about it:
Hitchens was the baddest of the bad, Satan’s evil twin, and worse— he told the truth about an icon.
He criticized mohamedans and religion in general. BTW, He was not the first to look critically at Mother Teresa’s operation.

Hitchens and others were asking pointed questions about M. Teresa. Where was the medical staff? What palliative care was actually given to the dying?
Where were the physicians?
Why did the money (reputed to be $100,000,000.00 in one year) end up in a Vatican bank? Why was she flying in private jets and taking money from the likes of Papa/Baby Doc Duvalier?
The woman was considered a saint by both the left and right. Neither side verified her actions.
The truth welcomes inspection, falsehood hides from it.

Why did you not investigate the allegations against her personally? Do you have a copy of the receipt from a vatican bank for the deposit? Can sinners not attempt to atone for their sins, or are the critics of perfection not allowing for that? Why would you verify her actions, they were for the least of the low in the slums of India, not much aggrandizement or much self righteousness to be found in dealing with the dying poor. Considering that she is a humanitarian and religious, not an accountant, she dedicated her life to doing what she was asked to do, not trying to meet the expectations of armchair critics and other such clowns.
The population of Calcutta and suburbs is around 14. 3 million people, How far will 100 million dollars go there? How far will it go when spread across all the places Mother Theresa and her sisters work?

Whoever complied that list is as utterly clueless as possible, no research, pure geographically centred values and emotionalism. If some one wants to inform, they should do so, if they wish to blabber an uneducated inappropriate opinion they should identify it as such. If they have done anything like it, then a comparison will be quite intreating. Otherwise they are merely ignorant contrarians seeking attention, not by doing anything of value, but by trying to denigrate the work of those who have ability. To sum up the list, “bullshitt”.

Apparently you have never met a literate person before, not surprising, your comments reflect that you are still hooked on phonics. If all you can come up with is an emulation of a spell chequer, you really are of no interest. Not that I’ll miss you when you go away, as your contribution is nothing. You call that a long article?

What would you expect? A filthy atheist support a decent Christian? Every one has their faults, that is why scales were invented, to weigh out how much of what exists. Mother Theresa is a saint, we need more like her, she is also human, she is not perfect, nor ever was intended to be, unlike the perfection that is found in her critics.

Might have been L’Oreal’s plan all along that this would happen, their new model would step down, then they would still get the muslins to buy their products gaining a share of that market, and still retain most of their original client base.

“I have chosen to delete them as they do not represent the message of harmony that I stand for.”- Says Khan. So exactly when did she start standing for harmony? Must have been after she posted the anti-Semitic tweet. So glad she has seen the light. Ha!

It is good to get this news. Mindful buying is important. I am disappointed by these two companies. I also do not comprehend how you can sell hair products when hair is not seen. I initially thought the model showed some hair at top of for head, but then saw that it was a dark colored cap. I think these companies know what they are doing.
