Muslim Harvard student asks Israeli politician why she is “smelly”

One thing is certain: if the roles had been reversed, and a Jewish student had asked a Muslim politician why she was so “smelly,” that student would no longer be at Harvard, and would be subjected to international opprobrium, while stories on “Islamophobia” would be blanketing the airwaves and filling mainstream media publications.

“Meet The Brilliant Harvard Student Who Called A Jewish Politician ‘Smelly,’” by Blake Neff, Daily Caller, April 21, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

The name of the Harvard student who asked a visiting Israeli politician why she was “so smelly” has been revealed. The student is a leader in Harvard’s Arab community with a history of anti-Israeli activism. Not only that, but he’s also a man looking for a job, making his public stunt look like an incredibly bad idea.

Last week, Husam El-Qoulaq rudely disrupted a panel featuring Israeli politician Tzipi Livni to ask her why she was “so smelly.”

“I’m question (sic) about the odor of Tzipi Livni, very smelly, and I was just wondering,” El-Qoulaq said to a confused panel.

Despite his remarks being very public, it took nearly a week before El-Qoulaq’s statements attracted wider notice, with several Jewish media outlets expressing outrage at the stunt on Wednesday. Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow strongly condemned the behavior in a school-wide email. El-Qoulaq issued an apology as well, claiming he was unaware that assigning a pungent odor to Jewish people has long been a part of anti-Semitic propaganda. El-Qoulaq suggested that he was just trying to make a rude personal attack on Livni rather than an attack on all Jews in general.

 But despite the fact that the “smelly” question was made at a very public event with numerous eyewitnesses, Harvard and others have tried very hard to suppress El-Qoulaq’s identity. His name wasn’t included in Minow’s email condemnation, it wasn’t added to his apology in the Harvard Law Record (despite his invitation to have offended Harvard students reach out to him), and a video recording of the event was even censored to take out his question, thereby preventing it from aiding in his identification….

Maybe toilet paper doesn’t do as good a job as a bare hand.

There is a pose in "yoga" called "the child's pose" (a few variations shown here...)

     

which is said to be one of the yoga poses they sometimes use to relieve constipation and gas.

It is very similar to the way Muslims pray at their five prayer times every day.

     

Now, can all you infidels imagine the ferociously "exotic" aroma that occurs when, say, 5,000 or more Muslims enter a fairly large mosque for prayer at prayer time, they remove all their smelly shoes, and they all assume one of the yoga gas-relieving postures to pray?   Oy Vey Akbar!!!

Why does Mohamed have sex with camels?

The fact that yoga classes assume the muslum prayer position without actually praying is what makes yoga haraam for believers. They still come take class though. It works.

I would've answered, "It's your upper lip."

P.S. Or, maybe, "why do you worship a moon-god and follow the teachings of a pedophile prophet?"

He wasn’t kicked out of school? I read an article about a fraternity/sorority mixer at a major university at which some boys “hit on” (my words-—maybe it was flirted or “came onto”) some of the girls, the girls reported them, and the boys who said the words were expelled from school.

I didn't know that.   (I guess if they happen to be practicing yoga at prayer time, they can just start to pray, and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak...)        :-)

(I think if I was doing some of those yoga postures I've seen, I'd be praying that I wouldn't get stuck in one of them, or break anything important.)       :-)

(It sounds like you practice or teach yoga.   Were you saying that yoga works in general, or that that particular yoga pose works to that particular effect?)

Okie dokie. Have it your way professor. Lol.

[ichabod1]

Yes, I teach. It’s a healthful practice that millions find helpful for a whole variety of ailments and issues. Seems the regular balanced stretching and strengthening enables the body’s own recuperative powers. ANd somehow, for many, it’s fun to do in a group, kind of a drudge to do alone.

C..C.. Talk about smell
Then there is the muzzie going to the doctor because he feels sick. The doctor says “go home; pee and defecate in a bucket for a week; throw in a rotten head of cabbage and a spoiled fish. Cover your head with a towel and inhale the vapors for 4 days, then come back. The muzzie did what he was told. The doctor asked him how he felt. The muzzie said that he felt much better and asked the doctor why. The doctor replied “you were just home sick”. :-)

I didn’t realize that correcting a factual error that was the whole point of a posting would annoy people. You must have a low threshold for anger.

Why do the ask? All that she has to do is smell the index finger on her “bathroom hand”. Then then she will know.

Schmaltz herring?
