AFDI applauds Women’s March board members for rejecting the vile antisemitism and jihad exhortations of CAIR leader Billoo. What were they thinking?

Women’s March Dumps Zahra Billoo

By: IPT, September 19, 2019:

Zahra Billoo’s tenure as a board member for the national Women’s March lasted three days.

Story continues below advertisement

The board voted her off Wednesday night, she wrote. The Women’s March has not yet issued any statement or comment and Billoo remained featured Thursday morning on the March’s website among other board members.

She is the victim of “an Islamophobic smear campaign,” she wrote, “led by the usual antagonists, who have long targeted me, my colleagues, and anyone else who dares speak out in support of Palestinian human rights and the right to self-determination.”

The Washington Post reported changes to the Women’s March board Monday, noting that outgoing leaders Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory and Bob Bland were unable to overcome controversies involving anti-Semitism. In addition to those controversies, Sarsour pushes a blood-libel that makes Jews responsible for police shootings of unarmed black people.

The Investigative Project on Terrorism was among the first to highlight Billoo’s appointment Monday, pointing out that she has her own deep well of anti-Semitic rhetoric. It was an obvious problem to everyone but the Washington Post, which failed to mention any of Billoo’s record. Instead, the newspaper described her as “a civil rights attorney and executive director of the San Francisco Bay area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.”

Billoo, who does not believe Israel should exist, who compares American Jews who move to Israel and join its army to ISIS terrorists, who casts Muslims who don’t share her absolute rejection of Israel and its supporters as sellouts, lashed out at the Women’s March board in an overnight Twitter rant.

The board rejected her request to meet to “to address their concerns, and to work with my sisters on the new board to learn, heal, and build together.”

“The Women’s March, Inc. that voted me off its board tonight is one that no longer demonstrates the strength that inspired millions of women across the country,” she wrote.

“This action today demonstrates that this new leadership is unable and unwilling to be an ally during challenging times,” she wrote, saying she is the victim of a right-wing smear campaign. Screen grabs and recordings accurately reflecting Billoo’s beliefs now constitute a smear campaign.

 

In an attempt at reflection, Billoo acknowledged that “anti-Semitism is indeed a growing and dangerous problem in our country, as is anti-Blackness, anti-immigrant sentiment, Islamophobia, ableism, sexism, and so much more. I condemn any form of bigotry unequivocally, but I also refuse to be silent as allegations of bigotry are weaponized against the most marginalized people, those who find sanctuary and hope in the articulation of truth.”

But she cannot bring herself to consider that her blind hate toward Israel and its supporters, which include 95 percent of American Jews, constitute a form of the bigotry she claims to condemn.

She acknowledges “that I wrote passionately. While I may have phrased some of my content differently today, I stand by my words,” she wrote.

The Women’s March may have been slow to act with Sarsour and her colleagues. That may be one reason why it quickly saw a problem adding Billoo, although her controversial views were hardly a secret before she joined the board. But the March was dogged by anti-Semitism accusations, and it quickly become clear that Billoo’s presence would only exacerbate a problem.

She remains safely ensconced at CAIR, however, where she runs the group’s San Francisco chapter. Zahra Billoo: Too anti-Semitic for the Women’s March. Right at home with CAIR.

Indeed, the Muslims are the eternal victim; tears are flooding down my cheeks. Meanwhile, anti-Semitism has escalated to that of the NAZI era but it’s the Muslims who are facing unbridled Islamophobia. It is encouraging Billoo got the toss but I find it disingenuous; a decision made because of criticisms by perhaps some women of principles and tolerance. Sarsour, another repellent Jew-hater, was not tossed and she is no less an anti-Semite and hate-monger than Billoo.

You are bang-on; non-Jews were next on Hitler’s list for extermination after the Jews and others deemed subhuman. Methinks, the Liberals would become the first led to the Halal slaughter house. Their appeasement and alliance with Islam will eventually lead to their end. If, of course, the Caliphate is completed.

It, Caliphate) won’t happen in America; Patriots will make the Demos and its Muslim appendage into dust. That’s what I was proposing but obviously missed the mark. The EU is another matter, it is Islamized.

If hijabs are so empowering, why are these women allowed to half-hijab? Why are they allowed to have any part of their faces appear in public? Are they less devout? Yes, apparently. Eyes only if they want the hijab to be a sensation, and do they drive? Shame on them! Let’s allow their glorious religious standards to be applied entirely equally worldwide or not one filthy bit!

Why are you justifying ocular exhibitionism by females? The niqab is dangerous because nude female eyeballs cause virtuous Muslim men to neglect their prayers and noble acts of jihad. Only the burqa is an acceptable garment for females, who should, in any case, not be allowed to leave the house without permission of their owner (husband, father, brother, son, grandson, third cousin, etc.).

“Other female apparel” is certainly varied and complicated. But no reason to not get “muslima apparel”. I mean they’ve got only the one thing. You know: Those incredibly attractive Hefty Bags?

Sarsour and Omar both wear make-up while at the same time wear the hijab. Yet they aren’t stoned or have acid thrown in their face.

I won’t give the Women’s March too much credit.

It took them 3 freaking years to realize that critics were right about Sarsour. 3 years and they still haven’t realized Trump is innocent; and 1 year and still haven’t realized Kavanuagh is innocent, and 30 YEARS and still no apology to Clarence
Thomas.

The McCarthy hearings only lasted 36 days. that’s it! The Democrats having been doing Neo-McCarthyism for 3 decades!

Let’s not ease the pressure on Women’s March. One of its Farrakhan loving co-founders, Perez, is still there. Even Lefty Anti-Defamation League calls Farrakhan out – as it gives the so many other Muslim anti-Semites a pass.

So, now the Billoo is gone, time to demand Perez is booted of the board for the same reason – she is a rank anti-Semite too.

Honest to goodness, that’s exactly what I thought. I mean I figured this ‘womyn’s group’ finally found one of their own kind simply TOO disgusting to feature.

For themselves I mean.
