Miss Michigan World America loses beauty crown for noting hijab makes women “oppressed under Islam”

Jul 20, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

After declining to try on a hijab, Kathy Zhu said: “So you’re telling me that it’s now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?”

How “Islamophobic,” right? But what about Aqsa Parvez? Her Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it. Or for Aqsa and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab? They showed no concern for the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; or for Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; or for Amira Osman Hamid, who faced whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; or for the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized by her family for refusing to wear the hijab; or for the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told they had to wear the hijab or be fired; or for the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab; or for the women in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; or for the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; or for the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; or for the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; or for the women in Iran who protested against the regime, even before the recent uprising, by daring to take off their hijabs; or for the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab; or for the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents; or for the fifteen girls in Saudi Arabia who were killed when the religious police wouldn’t let them leave their burning school building because they had taken off their hijabs in their all-female environment; or for the girl in Italy whose mother shaved her head for not wearing hijab; or for all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab.

Courageous women in the Islamic Republic of Iran are taking off their hijabs as a sign of resistance to the oppressive Sharia regime under which they live, and at least 29 women have been arrested for doing so. Who is standing in solidarity with them?

After she lost her crown, Zhu wrote: “This is more than just some beauty pageant, this is about the prejudice views against people with ‘different opinions.'”

Indeed. The Left is making an all-out effort to delegitimize entirely all points of view except its own. This is just one episode in that endeavor.

“Michigan College Republican loses beauty crown over ‘insensitive’ tweets,” by Jonathan Oosting, Detroit News, July 19, 2019:

A College Republican leader at the University of Michigan is blasting Miss World America beauty pageant officials for stripping her state title and barring her from a national competition because of provocative social media posts that spurred accusations of racism, Islamophobia and insensitivity.

Kathy Zhu, a 20-year-old senior at the University of Michigan, says she was barred from a beauty pageant over “insensitive” tweets.

Kathy Zhu, the 20-year-old vice president of UM College Republicans, said organizers took her 2017 and 2018 tweets about Muslim hijabs and African-American murder rates out of context and did not give her a chance to explain her rationale.

The controversy exploded Thursday on conservative media sites after Zhu posted emails and text messages from a pageant official who told her she could no longer participate because of “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate” social media posts….

The beauty pageant this week announced Zhu as Miss Michigan World America 2019 but revoked the title a day later. Organizers appear to have deleted the original announcement from a regional Facebook page and reposted a list of other winners from Michigan and Indiana.

A senior majoring in political science, Zhu expects to graduate next year. She describes herself as a “right-leading moderate” and supports Republican President Donald Trump.

“This is more than just some beauty pageant, this is about the prejudice views against people with ‘different opinions,'” she wrote Friday morning on Twitter.

Zhu transferred to UM in December from the University of Central Florida, where she drew national attention in 2018 for criticizing a Muslim Student Association event that invited students to try on a hijab, a head covering worn in public by some Muslim women.

“So you’re telling me that it’s now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing?” Zhu had tweeted. “Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?”

Her comments prompted a Twitter fight and at least one call for expulsion, but officials ultimately concluded that none of the involved students’ actions violated the university’s rules of conduct….

In an email exchange that Zhu published on Twitter, Miss World America state director Laurie DeJack told her that her social media accounts contain “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate content” in violation of pageant rules and conditions.

Specifically, DeJack pointed to a requirement that contestants be “of good character” with backgrounds “not likely to bring disrepute” to Miss World America or anyone associated with the organization.

“Therefore, and effective immediately, MWA does not recognize you as a participant of any sort in any capacity as it relates to any and all events of MWA,” DeJack continued in an email also sent to national pageant officials.

“I’m sure you will love to find a ‘woman’ who is cookie cutter perfect and says brainless comments like, ‘I love world peace,” Zhu wrote in response.

Zhu said she tweeted about the hijab incident after a Muslim woman “forcibly” tried to put one on her head at the University of Central Florida.

At the time, the Muslim Student Association said no one was forced or pressured to approach their booth on campus.

“The purpose of this booth was to spread awareness of the hijab and those who choose to wear it,” the group said. “The hijab, or headscarf, is worn by many Muslim women to exemplify modesty. It is a decision made of their own accord.”…

College Republicans at the University of Michigan stood by Zhu, who is vice president of the organization.

“We fully stand behind Kathy in decrying the outrageous behavior of Miss World America,” the student group said in a statement.

“Although they are within their rights to do this as a private organization, we believe that this decision shows incredible bias against unextraordinary right wing opinion, which we expect will come back to hurt the organization.”…

“I just think that they got a one-sided story,” Zhu said of pageant organizers, suggesting a former antagonist in Florida had alerted them to the social media posts “that made it seem as if I was a bad person” without any context.

“The whole point of them not wanting me to represent them is because they didn’t want bad publicity, but this gave them way more bad publicity because they removed someone that really didn’t do anything wrong,” she said.

    Beauty contests can demonstrate the higher things that society
    appreciates….but they also can be artificial social distractions.

    Meanwhile, in a contest of its own:

    Iran shows videos of raid on tanker….

    Look at how these “commandos” seem to ham it up for camera.
    Look at how the lighting through the windows and the drop hole
    seems not to fit the ambient lighting of the actual scene.
    So staged!

        Now Masih Alinejad seems to be a real feminist with real courage.
        Unlike some of the Western third wave feminists who when real courage is required, for example in challenging real discrimination against women under Islam, are silent as mice, or even say the women under Islam choose and enjoy their slavery.
        More power to the real feminists like Masih Alinejad.

    She spoke the truth not only about the hijab but about black on black crime in America (e.g., yearly more young black males in Chicago alone are killed by other black males twice over than the police all across America kill black males—and per FBI statistics, a policeman, whether white, Hispanic, Asian or black, is 18 times more likely to be killed by a young black male than the other way around).

    This young woman spoke the truth and one knows by now that the Left (and Muzzies) cannot handle the truth. Hence what happened to her and serving as just another example of how Islam + Leftism serves as a “perfect storm” for the termination of liberty.

      “White Girl Bleed a Lot” substantiates the roving violent gangs
      and the unreported black-on-black and black-on-white crimes.

      “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America
      and How the Media Ignore” is a 2012 Non-fiction book by Colin Flaherty.

      It deals with race and crime in the United States, particularly the knockout game,
      violent flash mobs, and black-on-white crime. It is published by WND Books.

    • Eric Jones says

      Jul 20, 2019 at 8:39 pm

      Maybe Zhu doesn’t know that there are other ethnic groups besides Blacks that commit crime. There are Asian Youth gangs, there are Triads, La Cosa Nostra, MS-13 and Russian mafia in Brooklyn NY. There are biker gangs and many others. Some feel smug in pointing the crime finger at the Black community. Look at your own community first.

      Eric

      • CogitoErgoSum says

        Jul 20, 2019 at 9:13 pm

        Eric, maybe her idea of a community is more diverse than yours.

      • Wellington says

        Jul 20, 2019 at 9:33 pm

        Eric: I’m sure she knows this and I am also sure she knows that young black males commit murder and mayhem far, far out of proportion to their numbers. For instance, The New York Post in its September 26th, 2017 edition published an article entitled (because of the NFL “situation”) “All that kneeling ignores the real cause of soaring black homicides.” Relying upon FBI statistics this article related that in 2016 7,881 blacks were killed while there were some 6,576 whites and Hispanics murdered, even though blacks make up only 13% of the American population. The VAST majority of these killings of blacks were by young black males killing other young black males.

        I certainly wish black America well but the greatest enemy of black America is black America. Miss Zhu knows this. You don’t.

        • Eric Jones says

          Jul 20, 2019 at 10:09 pm

          Wellington

          Having lived in high crime areas in my life, and have been a long time opponent of Black on Black crime; and a victim of Black of Black crime myself, I know the statistics well. I have live through it.

          What I object to is Zhu singling the Black community out as if its the only community that commits crime. As if the Black community is the only one that suffers from crime from within ones own ethnic group.

          Oh. I forgot to mention other none Black groups that commit crime on their own group. The Ruzzitto crime family in Canada The Irish mob in South Boston and the Ndragetha making in roads in to Canada. I don’t know the ethnicity of people that post here at JW. Not one of you would like your group to be singled out as an engine of crime. I don’t like it either.

        • Wellington says

          Jul 20, 2019 at 11:02 pm

          Eric: My understanding is that she tweeted what she did because the subject she was addressing was specifically black violence in black communities. I don’t think if one mentions this topic it is necessary to always note as well that, gee, other groups are guilty of violence.

          What? You can’t bring up black violence (which is off the charts) without mentioning that other groups commit violence too? This would be so pc if one thought this way. It seems that you do.

        Jul 21, 2019 at 11:12 pm

        Eric…The difference is probably that those other groups don’t spend an inordinate amount of time trying to blame the surrounding community for their choices or their limitations. No easy answers but trying to remain a trustworthy citizen surely provides a good toehold on climbing that mountain.

    • KWJ says

      Jul 21, 2019 at 2:22 am

      I don’t like that the guy said prejudice against right-wing opinion. Her opinion about hijabs is not right-wing, it’s even an opinion I had as a child. It’s no wonder people on the Left assume others are right-wing or Trump fans when people say something about Islam/Muslims/migration, etc.

      The issue of Islam should actually be a bigger concern for liberals. They go on about LGBTQ while you have Muslim Brotherhood fans in Congress and Islamic parties outright saying they want sharia law and no gay marriage. No sane liberal would cow to Islam. Radical Leftists are liberals’ enemies but many haven’t seemed to figure that out.

      No hive minds please. I may differ with a conservative about, say, abortion but free speech and freedom is even more important to me than pro-choice because without it you’re already living under totalitarianism anyway. In Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, for example, they still punish for adultery and sex out of marriage. In Iran men and women can’t even shake hands with each other. If an unmarried woman gets pregnant she’d have to hide the abortion, not because it’s illegal, but that she’s not married.

      So, no, it shouldn’t be that conservatives need their own lane-definitely not on this issue-but that political correctness and cowing to Islamists need to go the way of the Dodo bird. The Muslim Student Association, which is Muslim Brotherhood, seems to think Muslim women who choose to wear a hijab dismisses its oppressive nature because the Qur’an tells them what to wear. Umar advocated for the niqab because he could recognize Muhammad’s wife.

      It’s not about modesty…one can dress modestly without putting a scarf on their head. The way many Muslim girls wear it with tight jeans, etc. is more like announcing they’re a Muslim. Hilariously, the Muslim model in Sports Illustrated bikini issue demonstrates this. She isn’t being or dressed modest at all…her hijab is just a way to blare “I’m Muslim.” Most Islamic clerics would be appalled. It’s like clothing taqiyya or clothing jihad. The MSA peddles in half-truths and a lot of dissimulation.

    Perhaps we also need a beauty contest where the contestants wear burkas, and only inner values matter.

Can non-muslims participate in this evil competition? Why should they be doing that. This is America, not Iran or Arabia.

      The Burkini: A Closer Look At The Swimwear That’s Making Headlines
      ======================================================

      Beauty Pageant Contestant Wore A Burkini !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      (Where else but Minnesotastan!)

      https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/11/29/503729951/the-beauty-pageant-contestant-wore-a-burkini

      The other contestants in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant wore revealing swimsuits.

      She came out in a burkini — head-to-toe swimwear — and a hijab, the traditional Muslim head covering.

      Halima Aden, a 19-year-old Muslim from St. Cloud, Minn., wanted to compete on her terms. She wasn’t sure how the pageant would react to her request to wear a burkini. “I prepared myself to hear ‘no,’ ” she says. “But I was hoping they’d say ‘yes.’ So when they did allow me to wear a burkini, I was so thrilled.”

      Aden’s family is originally from Somalia. She was born in the Kenyan refugee camp of Kakuma, where her parents had fled in the 1990s, and came to the U.S. when she was 6. She made it to the top 15 semifinals in the beauty pageant — and made history. No one in the Minnesota contest had competed in a burkini and a hijab.

      Her pageant bid drew worldwide support — and criticism as well. We spoke with Aden about her decision to dress according to her Muslim values.

      Aden competes in the Miss Minnesota pageant. Her relatives in Somalia said, “We don’t know what pageants are but congratulations.”

      How did it feel to wear a burkini with all the other contestants dressed in revealing swimsuits?

      I thought this was the perfect time to represent myself as a Muslim woman and encourage other girls to live their life with conviction and not to be scared. To represent a population where women do dress like that especially with all that’s happened [banning the burkini in towns in France] and so many girls feeling scared to wear their hijab.

    Jul 20, 2019 at 10:40 pm

    Who remembers this? As paraphrased from Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isioma_Daniel:

    In 2002, journalist Isioma Daniel authored a comment piece on the Miss World beauty pageant that was to be held in Nigeria later that year. She wrote:

    “The Muslims thought it was immoral to bring 92 women to Nigeria and ask them to revel in vanity. What would Mohammed think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from one of them.”

    This was a truthful remark, but her comment piece triggered religious riots that left more than 200 dead and 1,000 injured. Eleven thousand were made homeless.

    Daniel left Nigeria for Benin. A death fatwa was issued against her.

      Seems to be a correlation: When passion becomes bad, passionate bloodlust becomes good. Inshallah!

    Miss Michigan World America, I heard it from Linda Sarsour at the Women’s march that Muhammad was a Women’s Libber and that the Hijab is empowering. So it must be right.

    Individuals with schizophrenia may also be afflicted by a number of symptoms that suit into 3 unique organizations: terrible, cognitive and tremendous. Negative signs and symptoms include matters which includes a “flat affect” (little to no emotional expression inside the voice or face), an incapacity to revel in satisfaction and difficulty starting or finishing a brand new activity.

    The problem with her is that she is intelligent and can think for herself. That’s not the type of representative they want. Give them Hell.

    “….a pageant official who told her she could no longer participate because of “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate” social media posts….”

    ——————————————————————————————-

    More from the “upside-down / back-to-front / black-is-white” world of right-on Leftism: the admirable Kathy Zhu’s remarks are of course accurate, truthful, sensitive to the plight of oppressed women, entirely appropriate, and she very commendably puts her principles ahead winning some silly contest.

    Conversely, the pageant official who pretends to be concerned about the “hurt feelings” of others, couldn’t give a damn about anything except making money and holding onto his pathetic job.

      All part of a stubborn effort to fool everyone into accepting that the Islamic Emperor wears clothes.

    How dare she tell the truth about Islam’s oppression of women. All this political correctness, all this lying and refusing to tell the truth about the barbaric, backward garbage that Islam consists of, all this protection racket that the PC brigade run for Islam, is truly pathetic. I suspect she will think that she is better off having nothing to do with this ludicrous contest which is obviously run by a bunch of lying, politically correct cowards.

    That virtue-signalling hijab..

    “Reported by Anass,Omar ibn al khatab saw a slave woman wearing the headscarf so he beat her
    screaming “you should not clothe yourself like a FREE woman”
    {Book of Kanes al umal fee sunan al aqwal hadith 41925}

    slave woman without headscarf=Not free
    slave woman with headscarf=trying to be free but not accepted..

    “..if they do that{wear hijabs} it will be known that they are free and that they are not servants or whores”
    Tafsir ibn khathir 33:59

    woman with hijab=pure,free
    woman without hijab=impure,servant or whore

    ilhan omar..pure,clean…except for once being married to her brother.

    “women are compared to slaves and camels with regard to the evil in them”
    Abu Dawud 2155

    “allah CURSES WOMEN who remove their facial hair in order to look more pretty thus trying
    to change what allah created”
    Sahih Bukhari vol 6 bk 60 hadith 408

    Are you sure you don’t want to put on that hijab?
    Look at all the lovely colors and designs they have!

    muhammed said the reason the koran says a woman’s testimony is HALF that of a man k2:282 is because
    “they have a deficiency of the mind”

    If you put on that hijab..you are kinda confirming perfect mo’s prejudice…

    That’s the trouble with beauty contests: contestants are supposed to be ‘beautiful’, not have an IQ.

    So what’s next for Dejack? Obviously he’s being ”offensive” and bringing his contest into ”disrepute” by not forcing all contestants to cover their faces and their ”ornaments.” What a hypocrite!

  31. Linde Barrera says

    Kathy Zhu is beautiful, sees things clearly, brave, and tells the truth. For many, those attributes do not qualify to win a beauty pageant because “political correctness” is not at the top of the list. A phone call of protest to the management of this contest is in order. FREE SPEECH FOREVER.

    She is Asian, Easy target to discriminate against even better than a white female at this point

    “Courageous women in the Islamic Republic of Iran are taking off their hijabs as a sign of resistance to the oppressive Sharia regime under which they live, and at least 29 women have been arrested for doing so. Who is standing in solidarity with them?”

    Certainly not western ‘feminists’ for damn sure.

    • Giacomo Latta says

      Jul 22, 2019 at 12:29 pm

      The non-reaction by Western feminists smacks of a disdain for inferior cultures. Feminists call this disdain racism whenever they perceive it in anybody else. But, being leftists, it is impossible for them to be racists (cough, cough).

    The Left has proven once again they lack tolerance for any thought, way of life that differs from from their construct. They are a perfect model of Stalinist CCCP , NNAZI Germany, Mao’s Student Revolution, North Korea, Pol pot,; they all share a Common theme intolerance and Declared Public Enemies.

    This Lady is quite right! Women are oppressed under Islam – FACT! In Pakistan over 70% of female prisoners are in fact victims of rape. They make their formal complaint to the Police, the RELIGIOUS POLICE take over & the woman is slung into prison for Adultery or Blasphemy. it matters not whether it is a ‘backward’ Muslim country or a ‘modern’ Islamic country e.g. Saudi Arabia.
