Hamed Abdel-Samad to Glamour Magazine: “Congratulations! The Self-Empowerment Of Political Islam Advances, With The Support Of The Left And Its Feminists!”

From Wikipedia:

Hamed Abdel-Samad (Arabic: حامد عبد الصمد‎, Ḥāmid ʿAbd aṣ-Ṣamad, IPA: [ˈħæːmed ʕæbdesˈsˤɑmɑd]; born in 1972 in Gizeh, Egypt) is a German-Egyptian political scientist and author. 

Abdel-Samad was born as the third of five children, the son of a Muslim Sunni Imam.[1] Abdel-Samad came to Germany in 1995 at the age of 23. He soon married an 18 years older, "rebellious, left-wing teacher with a penchant for mysticism." 

Abdel-Samad studied Japanese, English and French in Cairo[2] as well as political science in Augsburg. He worked as a scholar in Erfurt and Braunschweig. In Japan, where he was involved with eastern spirituality, he met his second wife. 

He taught and conducted research until the end of 2009 at the Institute for Jewish History and Culture at the University of Munich; his dissertation topic was: Bild der Juden in ägyptischen Schulbüchern ("Image of the Jews in Egyptian textbooks”). 

Subsequently he decided to become a full-time professional writer. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood in his university days, a stay in a summer camp run by them triggered doubts, causing him to become skeptical, and finally identify as an atheist. [3]

From the Vlad Tepes Blog:

In a Facebook post today, Hamed Abdel-Samad slammed “Glamour” magazine for naming Linda Sarsour “woman of the year”. Original translation of his post: 

A woman in America has just been named Woman of the Year by Glamour magazine for organizing a march against Donald Trump last year. 

The woman is called Linda Sarsour, she wants to introduce parts of Sharia law in America, and claims that the system in Saudi Arabia is more humane for women than the Western system. 

Not only that. She massively attacked the human rights activist Ayan Hirsi-Ali because she had criticized Islam’s treatment of women. 

About Ali, Sarsour said,”I wish I could take her vagina away. Women like that don’t deserve to be women.” 

Incidentally, Sarsour, who calls herself a feminist, was the initiator of the campaign “Headscarf means empowerment of women”, which has now also gained a foothold in Europe. 

Congratulations, the self-empowerment of political Islam advances, with the friendly support of the left and its feminists! 

The question is now: Why should one have compassion for a culture that no longer knows where it stands and that voluntarily gives itself up?
