Silently protesting Muslim woman ejected from Trump rally
CNN ^ | 1/9/16 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 01/09/2016 9:37:29 AM PST by jimbo123

A Muslim woman wearing a hijab was escorted out of Donald Trump's campaign event on Friday by police after she stood up in silent protest during Trump's speech.

Rose Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant sitting in the stands directly behind Trump, stood up Friday during Trump's speech when the Republican front-runner suggested that Syrian refugees fleeing war in Syria were affiliated with ISIS.

Trump has previously called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S.

Despite her silence, Trump supporters around her began chanting Trump's name -- as instructed by Trump campaign staff before the event in case of protests -- and pointed at Hamid and Marty Rosenbluth, the man alongside her who stood up as well.

As they were escorted out, Trump supporters roared -- booing the pair and shouting at them to "get out." One person shouted, "You have a bomb, you have a bomb," according to Hamid.

Good, and eject her from America as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, it was not the SS who escorted her out: it was local police at the request of campaign staffers.

I repeat that silence would have been better. She used the optics perfectly. She scripted this as "performance art" and everybody acted according to her script, allowing her to segue straight into the status of poor widdle victim.

Maybe, but reports are she chose to be noisy.

CNN knew in advance.

Joe Goebbels could have learned a lot from these guys.

Only your opinion. She placed herself among an audience gathered to hear Donald Trump, not her, and acted in a way to draw attention to herself. She had no right of any sort to do that and should have been removed.

Let her organize her own event and draw her own audience, if she is able to draw an audience.

Trump’s supporters did nothing wrong. Intelligent people understand that.

Yes! Get out of her bomb vest blast radius.

In most cases, I agree. But in her case, an even better example would be to make her a bomb-vest blast radius pariah.

If she’d had a bomb on her, she would have exploded it no matter what. Then that would have been her “performance art”.

Trump did nothing wrong, I agree. But even better, clear a “potential bomb-vest blast radius” around her. And announce it that way. Totally humiliate her and her slave-master husband.

Trump could even apologize on her behalf. Say, “It’s not her fault, folks. She’s just the property of her husband. That’s what her hijab signifies. If she doesn’t obey him, she’ll get a beating later, and it’ll all be perfectly okay with the Koran.”

Our elections have long been a sham with the MSM including NewsCorpFox being in the tank for the rats. NewsCorp execs endorsed John Kerry in 2004.

Rigged debates are rigged elections.

“However, she was probably removed for her own safety.”

Surrounded by thousands of conservative men is the safest place for a woman.

I don't have a detailed idea of how this minuet played out, but I do know the "silently protesting Muslim woman" choreographed it exactly to her advantage.

We have to get smarter about denying her that advantage.

Trump is doing nothing more than vocalizing sentiments found here and most anywhere Constitution loving people have gathered. In fact, his rhetoric could have been read line for line from a lot of posts here on FR. A great triumph for a populist firebrand. A lot of dull witted thugs have achieved a great deal in history simply appealing to pent up emotion.

His ardent followers, in many cases, are letting their emotions whip them into less than intelligent actions. Screaming people surrounding one lone, silent woman (no matter how you or I might disagree with her) does not advertise intelligence to me, or anyone watching or reading the tailored clips the MSM will make of that.

Cruz, on the other hand, is intelligent. In time I expect he’ll do much better than simple blowhardism.

If Cruz were relevant enough to draw an islamist woman to his campaign event and she stood in silent protest, and his supporters do what you recommend Trump’s supporters do — which is sit there meekly and silently — we would deride both his supporters and Cruz to be weaklings.

It’s just too rich to see meek Cruz supporters siding with an islamist over Trump. ‘Allahu effin akbar!’
