Pirro punished for correct assessment of Omar?

ONN: For being candid about identifying Rep. Ilhad Omar’s (D-Minn.) Islamic headdress as a symbol of her faithfulness to Shariah law above American law, Judge Jeanine Pirro’s Fox News show was cancelled – temporarily – but one expert asserts that her assessment of the Muslim lawmaker was spot on.

“Pirro was correct in her opening statement that Omar submits to Shariah,” WND education and public policy expert Carole Hornsby Haynes asserted.

Exposing the truth?

Pirro’s speculation instantaneously ignited much backlash and a media firestorm last month – from both the politically correct left and the conservative media – including her employer, Fox News … even though her insinuation is deemed correct.

“During the opening segment of her March 9 Fox News show, Judge Jeanine Pirro posed the question about whether the hijab – Muslim headscarf – signifies that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), is loyal to Shariah (Islamic law) rather than the U.S. Constitution for which she took an oath to protect and defend,” Haynes recounted.

The conservative judge opened up Fox News Channel’s Justice with Judge Jeanine a couple weeks ago by posing a thought-inducing question to her audience.

“Omar wears the hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested ,” Pirro told her audience. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Shariah law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

Defending Islam

Almost instantaneously, Fox News condemned Pirro’s remarks – after indicating that it had addressed the matter with Pirro directly.

“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar,” the Fox News Channel declared in a statement at the time, according to The Hill. “They do not reflect those of the network, and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”

Even fellow staffer at Fox, Hufsa Kamal – of Arab descent – was quick to question and condemn Pirro before Fox took action by suspending her show.

“@JudgeJeanine, can you stop spreading this false narrative that somehow Muslims hate America or women who wear a hijab aren’t American enough?” Kamal tweeted in response to Pirro’s opening. “You have Muslims working at the same network you do, including myself.”

As is the general case when concerns about the militant nature of Islam are brought to attention, Pirro was essentially accused of religious profiling.

“Kamal’s tweet refocused the real intent of Pirro’s question to a narrative that Muslims are being labeled un-American because they outwardly show evidence of their faith,” Haynes explained. “Just as Omar shifted the focus of the U.S. House resolution – originally intended to rebuke her anti-Semitic remarks – to ‘Islamophobia,’ so did Kamal’s tweet divert attention from the truth about hijabs.”

Haynes stressed how deception is encouraged in Islam when it benefits the religion.  more here
