Careercow Yassmin Abdel-Magied - says Islam is a feminist religion

[Ariel]

If anyone is interested, this thing has also written a memoir already. She's supposedly 26, mind you.
It's called "Yassmin's Story: Who Do You Think I Am?".
It contains such gems as :

• Being turned away from a regular primary school, because she was just too damn clever, so her mother had to enrol her in the Islamic College of Brisbane.
  
• Going to a Christian College and making such a scene that the principal capitulated to her autistic Islamic desires and allowed her to wear a hijab. Yassmin tells the story as if they let her wear it coz she's just *that* good.
• She started some bullshit foundation at 16 and was fast tracked to Young Australian of the Year (2007) status, because isn't she clever? Don't you dare say she's not, you bigot.
• She was so clever and advanced that she barely even needed high school, because she's so clever and advanced.

Spoiler: Taken from Wikipedia because it's fantastically comprehensive

• During high school years (2002-7), Abdel Magied was a founding member of Al-Nisa Youth Group.
• Started Amnesty International Chapter at her school, John Paul College.
• Deputy Chair of the Queensland Youth Council.
• Sat on the Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland (ECCQ) and the Youth Affairs Network of Queensland (YANQ).
• In 2007 Abdel-Magied co-founded Youth Without Borders, an idea she pitched at the Youth Summit of the closing ceremony of the Asia Pacific Cities Summit and continued as Chair until October 2016.
• In 2008 Abdel-Magied was invited to join the board of the Queensland Museum aged just 17 and remained on the board until her term expired in 2013. She is currently an Ambassador for the Museum.
  
• In 2010 she was invited to the board of the newly formed Queensland Design Council, during her 2nd year at university. She found this a good fit for her profession and area of expertise, and it was where she met Julianne Schulz, editor of the Griffith Review, who encouraged her to write.
• In August 2011, she was appointed to the Council for Multicultural Australia.
• In 2014 she was part of the organising committee for the G20 Summit in Brisbane.
• In November 2014, she became a board member of ChildFund Australia.
• In 2015, Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop appointed Abdel-Magied to the Council for Australian-Arab Relations.
• In November 2015, she was appointed to the board of directors of OurWatch, an organisation for the prevention of domestic violence. ( Muslims and Domestic Violence?)
• In 2016, she was elected academic fellow of Trinity College in the University of Melbourne.
• She has served as a member of the Federal ANZAC Centenary Commemoration Youth Working Group.
• In late 2016 the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Australia) (DFAT) sent Abdel-Magied, as a member of the board of the Council for Australian-Arab Relations (CAAR), to the Middle East to promote Australia. Abdel-Magied visited Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Kuwait, Jordan, Ramallah, Cairo and Sudan. (George Brandis, Attorney-General of Australia, explained the purpose, rationale and cost of the tour, upon being grilled by One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts: “Yassmin Abdel-Magied visited a number of countries in the Middle East to promote Australia as an open, innovative, democratic and diverse nation. She met youth representatives, scientists, entrepreneurs, women’s groups and others. The visit also promoted female participation in male dominated industries such as the oil and gas sector, and featured targeted engagements with young women considering careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths.”)
  Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop announced on 9 August 2017 that Abdel-Magied had been replaced on the board of the Council for Australian-Arab Relations (CAAR).

Huffpost says that Freedom of Speech is a "White Man's Privilege" coz Australia didn't like the shit she said about dead war heros. Even Islamic leaders condemned (kinda) what this sow said here.

Overall, she's a sack of shit, however, we must remember she's also more advanced and intelligent than everyone else on the planet + muslim so that gives her a one up on everyone.

I've never heard of a child being turned away from kindergarten or school at the age of 5-6 for being too advanced academically. I call BS on this.

She might be smart, but she's obviously one of those busy annoying girls who was always on every committee (with a tendency to railroad others and attempt to take credit for others work at any opportunity) and OMG a house captain too, plus part time work, tennis etc etc.

She's been groomed from a young age by the Islamic community she's a part of, her parents and the do gooding "Multiculturalism is the best" government scouts that rub shoulders with Yassmin's type at expensive school related events. That's why "Young Australian of the Year" awards are dominated by kids who go to "___ College". It's not some accident. Her connection to Julie Bishop seems to go back quite a way too.

Exactly. There are no entry intelligence tests for kindergarten. The parents rock up, drop off the kids, come back in the afternoon to pick them back up. In the meantime, the kids swiftly learn that the social hierarchy is all about who canibalises who and that if you want to eat the glue, do it while the teacher's back is turned. Unless she's a genius who was speaking full sentences at eight months and attempting to disprove Einstein, no one is going to give a fuck when she's enrolled.

Without a doubt she works bloody hard, but not to put too fine a point on it, has she ever produced something that isn't networking? Not that networking is easy, hell no, but aside from a 'memoir' written at 26, has she made anything that was all her own? Anything that didn't involve her screaming, manipulating, charming, and bullying others? For someone who has sat on a state museum's board, travelled the world promoting Australia without noticing that even in a rich country like Dubai, unless a woman is obviously a tourist she'll get whipped if she shows an ankle, and promoting careers in the sciences to women, she has some massive, massive gaps in reality.

How the hell can one woman travel to so many places, work alongside museum curators, be promoted ambassador of everything and have such a fucked up and twisted conviction that her fantasy life is real? I can understand this from third generation millionaires and professional politicians, but when you've ping ponged about the world like she has... how? HOW?

Speaking only with other people from high class is usually a good start to never get the own views challenged - especially if you hail from third world countries where the difference between piss-poor poverty and filthy stinking rich is notably great. She actually never met those women who are living under certain conditions that we would identify as Islamic barbarism. There's one thing in life that determines your outcome much more than your gender: Money. Yassmin was born to wealthy and well-educated parents, she's the epitome of the clichéd unwordly, spoiled high class brat.

I'm quite sure that she never saw the shitty remote areas in certain countries, when Yassmin was abroad. It's a great difference if you're visiting the well-provided, safe Karthoum or the nearly destroyed Nyala which is overflowing with refugee camps.

How much if a failure do you have to be to run away to the other side of the world as soon as you destroy your liberal hugbox by being too progressive?

It's a publicity stunt. That's all. Without anything other than vague social campaigning for things that are never quite made clear, she's basically in a rut where the people who listen to her are the same ones she's had for years. Any opponents of hers are effectively in the same position as she is. Stagnation, in other words. She needs a high profile stunt to catch the attention of people who've never thought of her one way or another. If she does flounce off to Britain, in several years she'll declare that despite the grave risk to her safety, she'll return to Australia to resume the fight against prejudice and oppression, for the sake of her 'sisters'. Because she's so brave, strong and powerful, and those 'sisters' are fainting violets incapable of any form of self advocacy.

She hasn't even moved to London, in fact she was at a convention in Melbourne today.

Note the wording when I said, "If she does flounce off to Britain". The whole thing's just a publicity stunt. If she decides that it's easier to stay where it's warm, there's absolutely no doubt that she's has more than a few columns and press releases already written up about a mythical 'brown Muslim woman' contacting her and desperately begging her to stay, like an SJW, "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope," and Magied nobly, bravely deciding to stay and fight the good fight against the indescribable prejudice and injustice of Australian social culture.

If she doesn't move there in the next month in means she is going to move there just in time for winter which is just dumb & I don't think she would do it.

"Modesty Movement" there is *nothing* modest about that. Your ankles and whole face are showing you fucking harlot. Ackbars in Pakistan or Indonesia would certainly string you up for that.
She looks like every other "African Princess" type.

Is it just me, or are do those look like stretch pants?

Spoiler: I'll spoiler this so it doesn't turn the thread into a Beauty Parlour cow thread.

They're Nobody (The brand) jeans. And Gorman shoes.
At least we know where her appearance money is going.
Considering the Sudanese muslims I see scuttling around Sydney and their full body burkas, I can't imagine those shoes would be considered Islamically modest in poor Sudanese muslim circles.

She's so "modest" she has the entire outfit tagged.

I like how she's so edgy and street in one of the most expensive cities and 'most liveable city' in the world.
edited to add: also she's just around the corner from Chanel, Miss Louise, LV etc

Yassmin thinks that the only reason why Americans are considering gun laws is because the Vegas Shooter was white.

If you ask me, I think she's going for the "zebra-chimpanzee mongrel child with Down Syndrome" look.

Any woman stupid enough to honestly promote Islam while living in a western country should be airlifted to Somalia post-haste and left there to figure their shit out. These people are the key example why it shouldn't be illegal to render certain morons stateless.

I'm sure the tiny percentage who could claw their way back to nations like Britain or Australia might actually have learned something in the interim.

Remember when Yassmin disrespected the Diggers on ANZAC Day? Well, she decided to pull the same stunt for Remembrance Day.

'You should be ashamed of yourself': Imam slams Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied for 'hijacking Remembrance Day' with yet another Manus Island tweet

• Muslim Yassmin Abdel-Magied has posted 'Lest We Forget (Manus)' on Twitter
• She was slammed on Anzac Day for almost identical message which she deleted
• Shia imam Mohammad Tawhidi accused her of 'hijacking Remembrance Day'

Spoiler: Article Text

An Islamic imam who speaks out against Sharia law has slammed Muslim youth activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied for 'hijacking Remembrance Day'.

The Sudanese-born, Brisbane-raised writer has stirred more controversy by using the 99th anniversary of the end of the First World War to make a political point about asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea.

In an almost identical message to her polarising Anzac Day post, the 26-year-old former ABC host, who now lives in London, tweeted '#LestWeForget (Manus)'.

Adelaide-based Shia imam Mohammad Tawhidi said her social media message was disrespectful to the war dead, who included soldiers fighting against the Islamic caliphate of the old Ottoman Empire.

'Sister Yassmin, you should be ashamed of yourself for hijacking Remembrance Day for your political motives,' he tweeted.

'This means that your last apology for disrespecting ANZAC Day was a lie to the entire nation.'

The imam, who campaigns against Islamic fundamentalism and radicalisation, said Sharia law was responsible for the refugee crisis on Manus Island, not Australia, as asylum seekers protest being moved out of their Papua New Guinea compound.

'Violent Sharia law is responsible for the tragedies in Manus Island,' he claimed.

'The majority of refugees fled Sharia law and Islamic governments.

'If you want to blame a government, blame Islamic governments/caliphates.'

Asylum seekers have fled Sharia law nations like Iran - where Sheikh Tawhidi was born - and Somalia.

Ms Abdel-Magied has been widely slammed for her 'culturally insensitive' Twitter message.

Hundreds of disturbed Australians were quick to voice their disapproval of the provocative post - many accusing her of being deliberately inflammatory.

In April she was slammed after a similar post which read 'Lest. We. Forget. Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine.'

After facing catastrophic backlash, she 'apologised unreservingly' for her 'disrespectful' words.

But it seems Ms Abdel-Magied didn't learn her lesson; once again outraging her followers with an identical jab.

'Remembrance Day is not about you,' a Twitter user stated.

Another called her out for what they believed was a move to intentionally try and provoke followers into an emotional response.

'You are just trolling now,' they wrote.

She was also accused of using Manus Island as a tool to draw the public eye towards herself.

'You don't even care about Manus. This is just a publicity stunt to get attention. Any normal person would have learnt from last year,' one tweet read.

Several others called her 'selfish' and accused her of deliberately detracting attention from the true meaning of Remembrance Day.

'Seriously.... what is wrong with you? It upsets me that you deliberately use days that commemorate war dead to push political agenda...,' one reply read.

Twitter user Melissa wrote: 'Absolutely disgraceful. I'm convinced now that your point is to be disrespectful and distasteful.'

Multiple concurred, with one responding: 'Totally agree Melissa. Yassmin is so self centred once again she's turned a day of remembrance into an all about her.'

The hypocrisy behind her new post, particularly in light of her Anzac Day apology earlier in the year, did not go unnoticed.

'What happened to 'my last post was disrespectful and I apologise unreservedly' - @yassmin_a on last Anzac Day when you posted a similar disgusting post. I think even if you do apologise most Australians have wisened up. You really have no morals or respect. #auspol #lestweforget,' a frustrated Twitter user wrote.

Many did their best to direct attention back to honouring fallen Australian soldiers by replying with true 'Lest We Forget' graphics.

The explosive post garnered nearly 400 replies and it was 're-tweeted' by more than 200 of her followers.

One of her followers tried to applaud the woman for being brave but his comment was quickly slammed by others.

'Not brave, just inflammatory and ignorant. As for insight. I've yet to see any display of insight, just immature ill thought out ideas aimed at hurting cultures that offered her a future instead of the oppression she'd have faced growing up in Sudan,' said one.

'Shakes head in disbelief that (Yassmin) really doesn't get it,' said another.

Isn't it a bad time for her to be virtue signaling about Manus? I think they just recently announced the rapefugees there have literally been raping and stealing from the local islanders.

Less 'announce' and more 'admit'. The horror stories started less than a week after the centre opened. It's a bit like talking to an ex-pat South African; if only a tenth of what they tell you is true then it's a blood bath.

And if I ever have the good fortune and privilege of meeting this lovely woman face to face, I'd be delighted to discuss and debate this compelling subject of her views on Remembrance Day with her further, at length and in detail.
