Pathetic editorial from Hardv Kennedy School of Government student, Fatina Abdrabboh in which she CLAIMS she was at a gym and feeling oppressed (those damned Americans are evil), that she's always stared at because of her muslim head scarf, and that her civil rights aren't really protected. She claims she was in the gym on a treadmill (working out with her headscarf on, and seeing the TV's in the gym focused on American action in the muslim world- poor Fatina, so abused in the USA) and that she dropped her keys and a man picked them up and renewed her spirit in this nation. That man? Vice President Al Gore. Call me crazy, but I don't believe a word of it, and I'd be interested to see where Gore actually was on the day she claimed this happen.
A quick google search shows that Fatina is a bit unhinged already, so this op-ed shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
A few points...
She's a "palestinian"- American who complains:
Abdrabboh fears that she, a Palestinian American, and other Arab Americans will become the target of unwarranted wiretaps, monitoring and secret hearings solely because of their ethnicity. She has tucked away most of her favorite "I am Muslim" T-shirts and changed the "Free Palestine" screen saver on her computer."My freedom of identity and expression are gone," said Abdrabboh, 21, of Dearborn. "I get the feeling that I'm being watched."
"Free palestine"?? The hallmark of an arab nutjob. There is no palestine for one, and two- a place that doesn't exist cannot be un-free!
So, America is to blame for her loss of "freedom of identity and expression"? Get real!! She worries, without any cause or evidence to suggest this might be the case, that she will lose her freedoms for being a muslim and that the government will be watching her every move, wiretapping her phones, and holding her for secret hearings (probably in dark underground bunkers will they'll beat her and pee on her copy of the koran, I'm sure!) Clearly, she's a bit out of it to begin with...as much is quite obvious.
An unhinged NY Times op-ed that is probably totally bogus (let's try to ask Gore if he remember this supposed event) by a woman who is paranoid, bitter, and all too angry at the world. She wants to "free palestine," so it'd be interesting to get her take on the terrorism in Israel and terrorism in general. She complains, without a reason, that her rights are going to be limited because of her "ethnicity" and that she's brought down daily by this nation and Americans themselves (don't stare at her, it'll make her feel bad, and she might be forced to tears...hell, maybe those rude, staring Americans might even cause her to do something bad!) I'm not suprised to see this from the Times the paper of record! ha!) or an angry young muslim woman. She probably does her own "people" that she's so worried about even more trouble when she whines and moans over imagined transgressions she claims to experience on a daily basis.
