Muslim woman becomes media darling, turns out she hates Jews.

Yup, and tried to cover that up.

Anti-Semitic statements of 'joy and peace' selfie star

The photo of a young Muslim woman called Zakia Belkhiri subtly undermining an anti-Islam demonstration by using the protesters as a backdrop for a selfie was one of the most striking images of the past week. But it's a story with a not so pleasant postscript.

The iconic picture above has been widely shared on social media over the last few days and reported on by BBC Trending and a host of other news outlets around the world. Many who saw it were charmed by Ms Belkhiri's stunt which seemed to use humour to defuse a potentially awkward confrontation outside a Muslim lifestyle exhibition in Belgium. Photos of the event showed that even some of the placard-carrying demonstrators from the far right Vlaams Belang group seemed to find it funny.

"This wasn't a protest at all, this was just to share joy and peace," Ms Belkhiri told Trending in an email at the time explaining her actions. The 22-year-old added that she wanted "to show that things can be different. And that we can live together, not next to each other but with each other".

However, since then a series of deeply disturbing anti-Semitic statements made by Ms Belkhiri on social media have come to light.

In one tweet dating from November 2012, she wrote: "Hitler didn't kill all the Jews, he left some. So we know why he was killing them."

And in another Facebook post from March 2014, she used an expletive to describe Jews before adding: "I hate them so much."

After these and other statements emerged, Ms Belkhiri deleted all her social media accounts.

3. Her apology is abysmal

And I don't get her Hitler comment

9. What she's saying

is Hitler left some Jews alive so we could see why they deserved to die. Because when we see what Jews are like, we'll understand Hitler's motivation.

34. her hatred of jews reminds me of the right's of muslims and the left's of christians

Why is it we only call some people out on some hate?

36. "The left's of christians?"

You mean our insistence that Christianity is not the official religion of the US, something people like Kim Davis and David Barton say?

42. Look, I am atheist, bashed christians plenty elsewhere

But the same hate spewed by others I have seen here over the years towards christians.

And hey - you know what? You are correct. Kim Davis, et al? Crazy scum in my book.

Then there are some I know who help the homeless, visit people in prison, pass out food, etc.

Now if I started a thread on this board bashing jews for their OT religion and gays/etc people would jump on my ass as being anti-semitic. If I did the same with christians? Yeah. It wouldn't be alerted on, hidden, etc but would probably find people like you who would bring up legit problems/issues for discussion.

Why does one religion get a pass and not others if the base principles being espoused by people are the same?

16. She said it years ago, and apologized.

And she's 22 years old. Lets see how YOU would do at that age when facing a planet-full of criticism. Lets cut her some slack.

Yeah, cut her a little slack.  She said it years ago.  Right?

18. She said it 3 years ago. It was hardly the only disgustingly bigoted thing she said

I have never said anything remotely in that vein. Not when I was twelve or 19.

And her apology was pathetic.

"Hitler didn't kill all the Jews, he left some. So we know why he was killing them."

Youthful indiscretions.

Oh, the DUmbass knows what others on "The DU" have said. - This response is a typical brush-off and denial to avoid criticism.

Boy the cognitive dissonance is strong in the DUchebags.

You are responsible for picking your gender at whatever age you want.

You are not responsible for the things you say at age 22.



Would one of you primitives like to come over and reconcile these two statements?

The hardcore bigots are pouring into the thread trying to diminish what the little whore said.

This young woman made these statements years ago, and has issued a heartfelt apology. Yet of course, lets drag her through the mud!! Can't let a good deed go unpunished!

What the hell good deed are you talking about?

This guy is sick of philo:

56. Keep in mind
 




The poster I was responding to.

He and I are both active on another thread where he defends a 15 year olds child's decision, even right, to have sex with 25 boys at one time in a high school bathroom. Uses the whole her body her choice thing.

He loves taking liberal, even progressive positions to an absurd place.

Makes one say hmmm.
 

If philo's a mole, he'd better tone it down.

A fight breaks out, someone gets their reply to philo hidden by a jury, someone responds to whatever that post was with "Holy Shit!!"  And there's a lot of bickering and bad acting as well.  Worth rowing over.
