Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Leftists, Islamic supremacists enraged that media “disrespected” jihad murderer by publishing photo of her face

Dec 7, 2015 10:37 am By Robert Spencer

We have to show “respect” for mass murderers, you see — if they’re Muslims.

Tashfeen-Malik

“Harris-Perry: New York Times Wrong to Show Malik in Hijab Because It Suggests ‘This is What Terrorism Looks Like,’” by David Rutz, Washington Free Beacon, December 7, 2015:

The New York Times, despite a front-page editorial advocating for gun control, still failed to live up to the left-wing sensibilities of MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry Saturday because it had a picture of San Bernardino shooter and devout Muslim Tafsheen Malik wearing her hijab.

Now, Harris-Perry complained in the clip first flagged by NewsBusters, the newspaper was problematic for suggesting “this is what terrorism looks like.”

Malik pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist organization the same day she and husband Syed Farook killed 14 people. The New York Timesreported Malik was “visibly devout” with her use of the hijab and face-covering niqab. It is unclear how any other picture of Malik could have been circulated. As NewsBusters suggested, was the newspaper expected to photoshop the hijab off her?

Arab-American activist Linda Sarsour claimed Saturday on Harris-Perry’s eponymous show that the media’s rhetoric about the massacre shifted when it turned out the perpetrators were Islamic.

“All of a sudden we find out they’re Muslim. Bam, gun violence is out of the question,” she said. “We start talking about terrorism. And I’m extremely disturbed. I mean, I looked at the New York Times cover today. There, you have a whole op-ed on gun control. Great. Right next to it is pictures from the apartment of things that I have in my house.”

“Yes!” Harris-Perry said.

“These are things that all Muslims have in their house,” Sarsour said. “There’s nothing about that that tells you a story about what terrorism looks like. So you’re telling me that when my friends who are not Muslim come into my home and see a Koran on see frames on the wall with a scripture from my religion, is that supposed to tell you something?…”

Uh, yeah.

“Photo of San Bernardino shooter without burqa causes controversy,” by Susana Guerrero, SFGate.com, December 6, 2015:

Al-Jazeera producer Hashem Said is being criticized after tweeting that ABC News should have respected San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik by not sharing photos of her without a burqa, the Gateway Pundit writes.

One individual responded to Said’s comment by posting a picture of Malik after she was shot and killed by law enforcers. Malik is shown lying on her back on pavement as one arm covers her face. The individual who posted the photo wrote “Here is a picture of her without her face.”

Said has since retracted the tweet and apologized for his remark on Twitter. He also issued several tweets clarifying that he didn’t mean to offend anyone by his comment, and he explained that what he meant to say is that the image ABC used could be offensive to Malik’s family.

ABC News was the first to reveal an image of Malik. Malik typically donned a burka but the image they used reveals her face….

AFDI’s Geller Fellow Nonie Darwish explains all this: “The Sad Reasons for the Delay in Publishing Photos of Tashfeen Malik,” by Nonie Darwish, PamelaGeller.com, December 6, 2015:

Most Americans are wondering why the photo of the female Muslim terrorist of the recent San Bernardino attack, Tashfeen Malik, was for several days after the attack withheld without explanation by the authorities. Some guessed that it is for the sake of preserving the integrity of the investigation. That is the only logical explanation to most Americans. But I am afraid there are other reasons that only people with deep knowledge of the Islamic culture understand why Malik’s photo was not immediately published.

After the San Bernardino massacre by a Muslim married couple who left their new born baby orphaned for the sake of killing Americans, President Obama still refused to call the well-planned slaughter of Americans “terrorism,” let alone “Islamic” terrorism.

Obama does not even care about appearances when it comes to Islam and protecting Muslim sensitivities. It is not just Americans who are left wondering why Obama appears more concerned about the reputation of Islam than the reputation of America. But many around the world, including Muslims in the Middle East, are wondering about Obama’s loyalties and priorities.

Like her boss, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, instead of meeting families of the San Bernardino terror victims, met with a group of Muslims in Washington DC. She told them that her “greatest fear” was retaliatory violence against members of the Muslim community. That meant that her priority was to prevent a backlash against Muslims before protecting the American people.

Having been born and raised in a Muslim culture, I have little doubt that the Muslim leaders Lynch met with asked her not to show the photo of the Muslim female terrorist. Their explanation for keeping the photo away from the public eye was probably because they claimed that showing a photo of a veiled Muslim terrorist who was also a new immigrant would inflame Americans against veiled Muslim women.

Another reason the Obama administration found good reason to keep the public from seeing her photo initially is because the veiled Muslim female terrorist who killed 14 Americans and injured 21 would have a negative impact on Obama’s plan to bring in hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees to America.

There is also another reason probably not spoken, and that is that observant Muslims do not like their women’s photos exhibited in public, even if the woman in question is a mass murdering terrorist. The Muslims who met with Lynch still expected Americans to respect their traditions of not showing Muslim women’s photos publicly.

The Islamic culture is a “pride and shame”-based culture, and Obama fully understands how important it is for Muslims to not be embarrassed. Obama and Lynch’s desire to please their Muslim friends and to prevent a backlash is more important to them than telling Americans the full story of jihad activity. In Obama’s world, Islam must be protected at any cost, even at the cost of keeping the American people uninformed.

Thousands and even millions of Muslims are not ashamed to openly sympathize with ISIS, but at the same time, they are too proud to accept the consequences of the shame associated with Islamic terrorism. The so-called moderate Muslim leaders who met Lynch were helping, aiding and abetting the Islamic game of eating their cake and having it too. It is a well-known convoluted feature of Islamic cultural logic, to preserve their pride and hide their shame, and Obama is helping them do just that.

Even though Muslims claim that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism, they still identify with and want to protect the image of a Muslim veiled woman who committed terrorism in the name of the Islamic State. And that is why the photo of the Muslim terrorist, Tashfeen Malik, were too precious to Muslim leaders to be posted on newspapers and TV screens for several days, until the public made it impossible for them to continue to withhold them. It was all about protecting the image of Islam and Muslims: we are told that the female terrorist does not represent Islam and has nothing to do with it.

The American people need to wake up and smell the jihad, even though their leader is keeping them away from knowing the sad truth.

      Does the left consider that ALL MUSLIMS that come to the west and fail to assimilate are in fact DISRESPECTING WESTERN CULTURE?

      Muslims immigrating under false pretense are also disrespecting the host country.

      Why is it that only the left is allowed to disrespect whomeve they choose?

      Yet, this couple left behind a beautiful innocent child.
      Despite all the ugliness in their soul they produced a beautiful innocent child.
      There in lies hope for a better world.

      In a sense there was a Muslim victim.
      But not really, because this child is not yet a Muslim, not truly.
      This child is sill innocent.

      Once Qur’an following Muslims begin to pray they lose all shame.
      Islam is ugly.

        Dec 7, 2015 at 2:38 pm

        That child won’t be innocent for long. Although temporarily in Child Protective Services, the baby will likely be returned to the grandmother, who, as you now know, was complicit in the whole terrorism plot. Rafia Farook, the mother of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook, is an “active member of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a Muslim organization that promotes the establishment of a caliphate and has ties to a radical Pakistani political group called Jamaat-e-Islami”. Unless that child stays permanently AWAY from that radical family, he/she is doomed.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 7, 2015 at 4:54 pm

        This child *is* innocent.

        But I agree with Marisol–unless Farook’s mother is taken out of circulation as she should be, the child will almost certainly be returned to the same woman who raised a murderous Jihadist.

        Unless this child grows up to be a person who is unusually good *and* unusually strong, the chances that she will escape this evil are slight.

        You’re pinning your hopes for a better world on this child? This child has no chance but to grow up just as messed up as her parents. It will be raised in the same insane “religion” and what’s more will want to avenge her parents. You see, her parents did nothing wrong but the infidels who killed them will have to pay.
        Now that’s more likely how it’s going to turn out.

      What respect do these evil bastards want? How dare they even suggest it? They kill so many people and we are still supposed to worry about their sensetivities? How about families of those poor innocent victims. The scummy families of these monsters should be forced to apologise to them instead of us apologising for showing that ugly mug.

    I think It was really a lucky break that the killer’s landlord let the media in to their rental house. The world world got to see the Koran on the kitchen table, the Islamic prayer sticker on that piece of furniture, the Islamic prayer book in the basket, and the children’s book on “Islamic Manners.” The resulting photos did more to educate our citizens about the Islamic threat than anything else could have. It showed that these supporters of ISIS were Islamic down to their fingertips.

    It reminded me of this cartoon of a Prussian family from WW I.
    http://punch.photoshelter.com/image/I0000tC761DqZJ5k

    In fact I’m surprised I haven’t seen a cartoon like that for today’s problem.

    • Westman says

      Dec 7, 2015 at 12:56 pm

      The photos are very revealing. My wife said the unkept rooms, dishes in the sink, littered countertops, and general disarray was an indication of Malik’s mental state. She used the word, “disgusting”. How could this be the home of a Pharmacist, one who must be ordered and precise?

      One could be led to think the difference between Infidel and Muslim suicide is the latter expires while taking some infidels under the guise of martyrdom.

      • Marisol Enrique says

        Dec 7, 2015 at 2:48 pm

        Westman: I had a different view of that house. As a woman who has had a child, my first thought was: “She (Malik) had other priorities than keeping a house clean and organized.” It takes a lot of time and energy to co-ordinate and participate in a terrorism plot (obtaining guns, thousands of rounds of ammo, making IED’s [improvised explosive devices], body vests, reading the Quran, booby-trapping devices, contact with other radicals, etc. without being caught in the process). Her mind was ultimately occupied–however, I didn’t see it as a mental deficiency of any sort (other than, of course, mentally occupied with JIHAD). Just my point of view, Westman. I could be wrong.

        • Westman says

          Dec 7, 2015 at 7:05 pm

          You’ve got a valid point, Marisol. In the end the child was second fiddle to terrorism.

      @PrayerWarrior: I followed your link to the Punch cartoon. It was wartime propaganda pure and simple. Further, as a history teacher, I’m not absolutely sure that WWI (as opposed to the second) was completely the fault of Austria-Hungary and Germany (although I will not completely exonerate them, either).

      • PrayerWarrior says

        Dec 8, 2015 at 10:22 pm

        Kepha, I am aware that the case against Germany and Austria-Hungary in WW I is not as clear cut as usually assumed. Gen. Patton was in a bull session with some American and British officers a good deal before WW II, and he said as much. (Probably among the many reasons Gen. George Marshall picked Eisenhower to run SHAEF instead of him.)

        I was only wondering why an Islamic version of the cartoon had not arisen, seeing THAT IT IS A LOT MORE APPLICABLE!

    The hijab make all Muslim women look FAT by accenting the cheeks of the face.
    A burqa hides this effect.

    As a compromise, Rolling Stone Magazine could have retouched the photo to remove her chipmunk jowls and nose zit and Muslims would have not been quite so defensive.

  7. somehistory says

    Dec 7, 2015 at 11:06 am

    Well she was dead when the police caught up with her, so she couldn’t be made to do a perp walk. And why should she be protected from the public eye when other murderer’s faces are shown time and again?

    Her face is nothing to look at, no beauty even skin deep. And if there were no photos of her, then no photos would have been available. Had she been *exposed* only in full burqa, face covered from all view, moslims would still have objected as it would mean allowing the public to connect the terror attack with the terror *religion* of the worship of satan the devil.
    Had her photo been doctored, taking off the scarf and *exposing* her hair by painting it in,, moslims would have objected to that, saying something about taking away her covering being disrespectful of her as she always was *modestly* covered.

    moslims are taught by their evil code of unholy conduct to be unpleasable.

    “San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik fired first, wrote extremist Facebook messages long before massacre.”

    The survivors are getting their stories out now. The woman fired first. The man looked like he was looking for someone before firing. Probably Nicholas Thalasinos.

    • Westman says

      Dec 7, 2015 at 1:53 pm

      “Poor” Syed, henpecked unto death by wife and mother devotees of Islam. Dad was “moderate”, Mom was so devout that she and Syed conspired to divorce dear old Dad. Of course, add the fundamentalist wife and it all goes over a cliff. Imagine what would have happened to Dad if he wasn’t Muslim?

      The shooting victim’s observation that Syed was looking for someone may indicate that Syed only hated Nicholas Thalasinos while Malik hated all infidels and blamed them for all her frustrations.

      Perhaps Malik rejected the responsibilities of Motherhood and committed mass murder in the mistaken belief that martyrdom for Allah would erase her personal failures and relieve her from further responsibility – a suicide with benefits.

      For someone steeped in Islamic ideology how can you tell the difference between this person committing suicide or martyrdom?

      As for Malik, her face should be posted in every Post Office with the caption: A terrorist CAN look like this.

    Remember, whether the reasons for doing so, as expressed by Darwish are correct or not, the “picture” shown by news outlets until an actual photo was found was one of those blank, black images.

    For their precious NYT to post even that image would likely have been too much for Sarsour and Perry to bear.

    I imagine they might, might have agreed with using that blank, black image for a police APB had the woman escaped, though.

      Respectfully, I don’t see SNL’s skit making fun of the Islamic State (and I doubt the IS would be offended, either). Instead, the comedians accurately depict western businessmen willing to partner with their own country’s Islamic enemies. (It’s worse than Lenin predicted: they’re selling us the very rope with which we’ll hang ourselves.)

      Good skit but more disturbing than funny.

    Of course muslims and their apologists don’t want a picture of a veiled muslima terrorist published.

    They don’t like the association; all veiled muslimas pretty-much look alike. (Isn’t that the whole point of the veil?)

    If photos like these were to cause the veil in Western countries to go the way of Hitler’s toothbrush mustache, we’d have a step in the right direction.

      One, US Army Major Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter.

      “On November 9, 2009, the FBI said that investigators believed Hasan had acted alone. They disclosed that they had reviewed evidence which included 2008 conversations with an individual that an official identified as Anwar al-Awlaki, but said they did not find any evidence that Hasan had received orders or help from anyone.[194] According to a November 11 press release, after preliminary examination of Hasan’s computers and internet activity, they had found no information to indicate he had any co-conspirators or was part of a broader terrorist plot, stressing the “early stages” of the review.[190] They said no e-mail communications with outside facilitators or known terrorists were found.” – wikipedia

    Leftists, Islamic supremacists enraged that media “disrespected” jihad murderer by publishing photo of her face
    ………………………………

    *Unbelievable*. Why should we have to show exaggerated “respect” for mass murderers? Every other killer is pictured.

    More:

    “Harris-Perry: New York Times Wrong to Show Malik in Hijab Because It Suggests ‘This is What Terrorism Looks Like’”
    ………………………………

    So–is it wrong to show Malik because she is not fully swathed in a Burqa, or because showing her in Hijab makes it clear that she is Muslim? You can’t have it both ways.

    Besides, I’m not sure there are any pictures of her without a Hijab. Besides, wouldn’t showing a picture of her sans Hijab–even if one exists–be even less “respectful”?

    But the fact is that it was intrinsic to Tasfeen Malik that she wore Hijab. It was intrinsic to her Islamic identity–just as was *murdering Infidels*.

    The fact is that this *is* what Islamic terrorism looks like–whether dhimmis like David Rutz likes it or not.

    More:

    “These are things that all Muslims have in their house,” Sarsour said. “There’s nothing about that that tells you a story about what terrorism looks like. So you’re telling me that when my friends who are not Muslim come into my home and see a Koran on see frames on the wall with a scripture from my religion, is that supposed to tell you something?…”

    Uh, yeah.
    ………………………………

    Yes, indeed–since Farook and Malik acted on the diktats of Islam in waging violent Jihad. And Linda Sarsour *herself* is a stealth Jihadist, here pushing the falsehood of “Islamophobia”.

    More:

    Like her boss, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, instead of meeting families of the San Bernardino terror victims, met with a group of Muslims in Washington DC. She told them that her “greatest fear” was retaliatory violence against members of the Muslim community. That meant that her priority was to prevent a backlash against Muslims before protecting the American people.

    Yes–she cares *nothing* about Muslims slaughtering Americans–just the idea that we might dare consider Muslims to be violent as a result. *Ugh*.

    More:

    There is also another reason probably not spoken, and that is that observant Muslims do not like their women’s photos exhibited in public, even if the woman in question is a mass murdering terrorist. The Muslims who met with Lynch still expected Americans to respect their traditions of not showing Muslim women’s photos publicly.
    ………………………………

    In other words, Muslims mass murder us, then demand that we enforce Shari’ah norms. All part of Islam’s agenda for us…

    The question is “Should ALL cultures be equally respected?”

    The correct answer is NO.

    If a group of cannibals migrated to USA should their culture be respected/accommodated to allow them to kill and eat other people?

    When some Koreans come here should they be allowed to use human exrement to fertilize gardens and sell the produce at farmers market like they do in home country?

    You can find all sorts of things done in foreign countries which are not legal in USA, why is it that only Muslims complain and kill people over such things? JW readers know it’s all about trying to establish Islamic supremecy and nothing more.

        Remember the glamorized photo of Dzhokhar that graced the cover of Rolling Stone? Remember the soft face of Katherine Russell?

        Too repulsive and too ugly to deserve my respect.

        Farook and Malik were UGLY.

        Even though most Muslim women are so ugly they should be required to cover their faces, in this case it is necessary to show this monster’s face as an example of the ugliness of Islam. In fact, with apologies to Margaret Hamilton, paint this b***h green and she would look like the “Ugly Witch” from the “Wizard of Oz:” She only put people temporarily to sleep, but this creature killed.

        I think there is a good chance that Muslim’s ugly appearances are responsible for their barbaric actions. They cannot bear to see attractive Westerners without trying to kill them.

    We don’t give a shit about this muzzie culture of “pride and shame” and their sensitivities. Do they care about ours? We just don’t like to be killed and bury our murdered loved ones and they don’t want us to show their women’s faces. Not that shitty face is a nice sight. But we need to be informed about whodunit.

    Obama’s duty is to protect the American people and not Islam, he’s got to protect our civilisation, not their uncivilized cavemen world.

    “These are things that all Muslims have in their house,” Sarsour said. “There’s nothing about that that tells you a story about what terrorism looks like”. That’s very revealing, so they all store weapons and ammo in their garages which are part of the houses. We’ve got to get rid of muzzies all over the West.

    Upon reading this post, I took to my bed. I felt I was in The Twilight Zone…

    Note to Muslims: Whenever possible, we here in the States publish the photos of those that kill, especially mass murderers. OUR country. OUR rules.

    If I’m not mistaken, the offending photo is that of Malik’s passport photo. Did she not consider an attire less “telling” when she stood before the camera for her passport photo? No doubt she was asked “to please remove the trash bag from over your head, Ms. Malik…we need a photo of your face.”

    The world has a right to know THE FACE of this woman. The woman who participated/orchestrated the senseless massacre of 14 at a CHRISTMAS PARTY at a DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER for those most vulnerable.. A party attended by Farook’s co-workers. The same good folks who threw Farook a baby shower when he was expecting his daughter.

    I still feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone.

    This post numbed me to the core…

      It’s idiotic political correctness gone amuck.

      When some Sikh extremists bombed an Air India plane (and a Japanese airport) about 30 years ago, there were pictures of some suspects wearing Sikh turbans. For the most part, Sikh communities understood this and didn’t whine, mewl and gripe about the need for it.

      Perhaps there shouldn’t have been any photos of handsome white serial killers and mass murderers (e.g. Jeffrey Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh, Paul Bernardo, etc.) because that may spread prejudice against good-looking, middle-class white guys.

      Of course, everyone knows that only white people can be murderous, and that no Muslims ever do anything wrong, correct?! /sarc./

    I defy any liberal or muslime, may pig feces be upon them all. to show ONE case where a firearm acted on its own volition, pointed itself at a target, then pulled its own trigger. Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? But that is what liberals do when they call for “gun control” in an attempt to blame weapons for the murders, rather than the MURDERERS who bought the weapons, the ammunition, and intentionally used them to murder people!

    Come on people. Expose the LIE called gun control. It is NOT about gun control at all. It is about PEOPLE control by traitors who desperately want to create their NWO with a one world government, and they will stop at NOTHING to achieve it, regardless of how many people they must murder to achieve it.

    • bernie says

      Dec 8, 2015 at 8:53 pm

      I understand that Switzerland has a very high percentage of registered gun owners, yet the yearly murder rate (from all weapons or means) is actually quite low, even compared with some developed coutnries which have strict gun control laws.

      No only that, but the school she founded has become a big smoking gun the media can’t ignore:

      http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/08/us/fbi-says-san-bernardino-assailants-were-radicalized.html?_r=0

      [quote:] “Ms. Malik also spent a year studying at an Al-Huda center, a conservative religious school for women in Multan, a city in central Pakistan, officials said Monday. … Al-Huda, founded in 1994, sometimes draws women who turn to the group after their children have grown up, sometimes causing friction in their families as less pious members complain of being pressured to conform with a more conservative family lifestyle. “They are trained to be activists and reformers, bringing people back to what they call the ‘real’ Islam, true and pure,” said Faiza Mushtaq, an assistant professor of sociology at the Institute of Business Administration in Karachi, whose Ph.D. study focused on Al-Huda.” [quote/]”

      Note that well. This is a Muslim telling the New York Times that Malik had learned “real Islam, true and pure.’

    Here is the real reason we are seeing a MASSIVE campaign of misdirection and smokescreens led by Barry himself.

    “TASHFEEN MALIK” is a historic Muslim nom de guerre.

    Walid Shoebat noted several days ago (spelling corrected):

    The name “Tashfeen Malik” was the nom de guerre for a male warrior from the earliest days of Islam, one of the earliest jihadis. Known to Muslims as “تاشفين ملك الموحدين” Tashfeen Malik Al-Muahideen, translated into English: Tafsheen King of the Muslims and the conqueror of the West. Yusuf ibn Tashfin reigned 1061 – 1106) as leader of the Moroccan Almoravid empire. Co-founder of the city of Marrakech, he had gained a reputation as a cunning and charismatic leader even before going to Spain to promote the Islamization of the West.

    BINGO! (that’s an old Christian phrase from a game played by old ladies in the catholic church)

    I know why the picture was not forthcoming. THEY NEEDED TIME FOR AN EXPERT PHOTOGRAPHER AND A PSYCHOLOGIST TO DOCTOR IT UP!

    I’d bet any amount of money that they doctored this picture up to be as appealing and to show emotion so that people would empathize.

    Remember Kerry said that the hebdo murders had a legitimacy that you could relate to at some level (paraphrasing).

    They want to soften the American public to the new reality that we are not Isreal and we can

    NEVER AGAIN BE AT PEACE IN OUR HOMES–JUST LIKE ISIS HAS WARNED.

    So the ‘authorities-(of which we have ZERO in reality) want to try to HUMANIZE HER FACE AND HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE RATIONALE BEHIND THE EVIL.

    WE ARE NOW ISRAEL ( NOT “not Israel’)

    Another opportunity to bring home the point:

    AMERICA IS NOW ISRAEL AND THEY WANT YOU TO BECOME DESENSITIZED TO THE NEW REALITY THAT THEY HAVE CREATED IN YOUR COUNTRY.

    GOD BLESS TRUMP FOR BEING WILLING TO SAY WHAT THE COWARDS WON’T SAY.

    Common sense would tell you that we need to stop ALL IMMIGRATION because our country is under attack. If they would get that part straight the rest would follow.

    How many Germans or Japanese did we take during WWII.?

    We have had times that we have stopped immigration but the government has taken this out of the control of the American people I’m sure slowly over time they have seized this authority.

    Why shouldn’t immigration be under the control of the American people?

    THERE IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND ITS TIME TO

    TAKE BACK IMMIGRATION.

    You can’t take your country back until you take the authority back. If you don’t have borders you don’t have a country.

    Of course he did and this is suppose to be the new reality for the United States of America, thanks be to b a r a c h h u s s e I n o b a m a.

    This is what he has planned from the beginning. He wants to turn America into a hellhole like the middle east and he has laid the groundwork for an allout invasion of this country my middle easterners.

    As a person who has taken passport photos in a business capacity many times over the years, I can tell you this: Tashfeen Malik’s face is required to be shown, period. Other people aren’t even allowed to wear a hat–religious or not. Who the h*ll are muslims that they get to cover everything but their eyes, or not have their face published when they commit a crime. D*mn right, we’ll “disrespect” her. If she’d been arrested instead of killed, she’d have gotten a body-cavity search just like any other criminal. She should have been searched by a BIG, BLACK, BOMB-SNIFFING DOG!!!

    Harris Perry is a traitor to her gender as well as a dhimmi idiot. If she was a real American woman she ought to be campaigning for the banning of the hijab/burka what have you. They banned it in France which country Americans often accuse of cowardice, even though their war of Independence, of which they are so proud could not have been won without the help of the French.
    If being devout means you murder innocent people in cold blood well so be it. you can expect to get your face in the news. BTW there is a female ‘gestapo’ in IS land which goes around in full burkas with only eyes showing, beating up any woman who is not dressed according to IS sharia rules. So what do you think of that Ms Harris Perry, just a symbol of piety or a symbol of repression and bullying?
