Why were protesters wearing hijabs? The dark, powerful, hidden force behind the Women's March on DC

WASHINGTON – They gathered by the thousands to watch history on television.

They cheered wildly when President Trump said in his inaugural address that the U.S. will eradicate radical Islamic terrorism from the face of the earth.

The next day, they looked on in shock and horror at the violent protests in the streets. They were even more horrified when they saw American women wearing hijabs, Muslim headscarves worn as a sign of piety.

But this wasn’t Kansas. It wasn’t even the Midwest. It was the Middle East.

Cairo, Egypt. Home to tens of millions of devout Muslims.

Cheri Berens saw it first hand.

From her vantage point, “The entire coffee shop gasped in disbelief at the vision of American women donning the headscarf.”

Berens is an American who has lived in Cairo for years working as a researcher for the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. She witnessed the violence that preceded the takeover of the country by the radical Muslim Brotherhood and the counter-revolution that removed it from power.

Berens is author of “Cheri’s Memoir: An American Woman Living in Egypt” and is working on her next book, “The Cultural History of Egypt.”

And, in an essay on her blog titled “Women’s March to Islam?” she chronicled how for everyday Egyptians watching on television, packed into “every coffee shop in Cairo that had a satellite dish,” the scenes in the streets of Washington, D.C., were disturbingly familiar.

They recognized the same methods the Muslim Brotherhood used for decades to finally seize control in Egypt playing out in the American capital.

They need a real taste of Sharia Law.


Maybe we can contract out some summer camps with the Taliban.

Good idea but it must be stipulated that they receive the full treatment.

You HOPE it won’t fly here. A small minority can easily impose itself upon the majority. All the Muslims have to do is outbreed the West, and they are well on the path to doing just that.

I wanted to edit the writing on that article, while it was informative and powerful, it could have been better.

Screw that crap.

Slavery is at the other end of that prescription, slavery for everyone.

I’ll die in a pile of brass before that.

Yes, she is. And so do my Egyptian friends. They know where this road leads. They refused to go there and Sisi saw to it they did not.

First step?

Declare Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. It is already proposed. Get it done.

1) That’s a desecration of MY American Flag

2) Center the cross-hairs about 4” below the top-center star?
