Bethany Vierra was born in Washington state.
She got a master’s degree in Middle Eastern studies from the American University in Paris.
Then she got a PhD in human rights at the National University of Ireland.
With such an education, I would think that Vierra would be aware that women in Saudi Arabia didn’t have the same rights as men, and that this lack of equal rights was due to the country following Islamic law.
But I would be wrong.
Vierra moved to Saudi Arabia, married a Saudi Arabian man, and later gave birth – while in Saudi Arabia – to their daughter.
Since doing those things, Vierra and her husband have gotten a divorce, and are now involved in a custody dispute over their daughter.
During this custody dispute, Vierra was genuinely shocked to find out that under Islamic law (also known as Sharia law) in Saudi Arabia, women do not have the same rights as men. Here’s the obligatory “shocked” scene from the movie Casablanca:

Vierra was also surprised to find out that she was not allowed to leave Saudi Arabia or to access her own bank account, without her ex-husband’s permission.
During the custody dispute, some of the evidence that was used against Vierra were photographs which showed that she had worn a bikini in public, had worn yoga pants in public, and had had her hair uncovered in public.
And Vierra said of this:
“The problem here is not Islamic law.”
Relative to their level of education, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone as dumb as Bethany Vierra.
Instead of getting all of those useless college degrees, she should have watched the movie Not Without My Daughter. The movie is based on a true story. Here’s the trailer for it:

And here’s a scene from it about how the country enforces its dress code:

Meanwhile, back in the U.S., a woman named Linda Sarsour, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, made four tweets in favor of the U.S. adopting Sharia law.
Sarsour made this tweet, which says the following:
“10 weeks of PAID maternity leave in Saudi Arabia. Yes PAID. And ur worrying about women driving. Puts us to shame.”
She also made this tweet, which says:
“shariah law is reasonable and once u read into the details it makes a lot of sense. People just know the basics”
and this tweet, which says:
“You’ll know when you’re living under Sharia Law if suddenly all your loans & credit cards become interest free. Sound nice, doesn’t it?”
and this tweet, which says:
“If you are still paying interest than Sharia Law hasn’t taken over America.”
These statements prove that Sarsour wants the U.S. to adopt Sharia law.
Sharia law bans women from driving cars, prohibits women from appearing alone in public, calls for girls to have their genitals mutilated, and gives a woman’s testimony in court only half the value of a man’s.
After Sarsour made those four tweets in favor of the U.S. adopting Sharia law, left wing American feminists chose her to be one of the organizers of the 2017 Women’s March.
But any movement which truly cared about women’s rights would not support someone who wants the U.S. to treat women in such a horrible and repulsive manner.
I will say one positive thing about Sarsour: even though Sarsour claims to believe in Sharia law, and says that women in Saudi Arabia are better off than women in the U.S., at least she is not dumb enough to actually move to Saudi Arabia.
wish the author would have included if the woman is registered to vote and, if so, what party she aligns herself with? And who she voted for in whatever elections she was allowed to vote in
This woman was “educated” far beyond her intelligence.
The book “Not Without My Daughter” is EXCELLENT. Not a dull moment in it and much better than the movie.
“Relative to their level of education, I don’t think i’ve ever heard of anyone as dumb as Bethany Vierra.”
Have you not heard of the congressperson from the Bronx?
A PhD in human rights? WTF? Hopefully she learned something from her visit to Saudi.... but. How did she even get a visa?
She can't be....she has a PhD in Human Rights. (Whatever the hell that is?)
That’s three big mistakes right there.
“She got a master’s degree in Middle Eastern studies from the American University in Paris.
Then she got a PhD in human rights at the National University of Ireland.”
And with all that advanced education she won’t be getting a job saying, “Would you like fries with that?”
No, she will be able to say, “Would you like to see the dessert menu?”
PhD like Dr. Fraud.
a PhD in “human rights?”
aside from the Judeo-Christian tradition and the USA Constitution, it would be interesting to learn just what they teach for 4 or 5 years in that program?
hopefully, they don’t teach the Koran!!! ha!!!
No no no.
Its Climate Change.
AOC has only a bachelor’s degree.
Educated idiot, there’s no shortage of them. Unfortunately they run the schools and government.
No fool like an over-educated fool...
It shows that a good portion of degrees are absolutely worthless.
This sounds similar to a documentary I saw about body modification. There was a black studies professor that had tribal scarring, bone in the nose, and dressed in “authentic African clothing”. After years of teaching black studies, he finally took a trip to Africa. To his bewilderment no one dressed like that or had the body modifications. They wore western style clothes from jeans and t-shirts to business suits. He realized he whole world view was a sham.
Just shows what a self contained bubble academia lives in.
A$$hole. Credit card interest is charged. It’s called a fee and it’s a percentage of the outstanding balance.
Her degrees are useless. She is stupid (proof: she married a muzz). Sharia is horrible. She deserves what she got. No sympathy from me.
True story. Delirious and moron Dem voter that thinks the world is all Kumbi-Ya...Only to meet reality.
Kind of like that moron that got killed trying to get on that island
