What a pleasant woman…
Via Times Of Israel:
A proud young Muslim woman, standing in front of a group of anti-Islamic protestors, smiling cheekily into the lens of her camera as she takes a selfie. It was a powerful image. The story of the woman has since been posted in The Huffington Post, Vox, and Vice, as well as a number of other left-leaning media outlets in the past two days.
Zakia Belkhiri, the woman in the photographs, has been called a “hero” spreading “peace and love” at the demonstration, which took place in Antwerp this past week. It certainly is an iconic photo, and her nonchalant and confident posture in defiance of the demonstrators, who were calling for the banning of the headscarf among other things, clearly shows a degree of bravery and restraint that is admirable in the face of political opposition which could be construed as hostility to her very identity.
It didn’t take long though before other elements of Belkhiri’s identity started to surface.
