It is ironic that some participating women in effect were fighting to exalt the hijab, refusing to acknowledge that it stands for subjugation. Not only do women suffer discrimination in countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan under draconian sharia laws, but they are marginalized right here in North American homes.
Even more ironic is the role of Linda Sarsour, the national co-chair of the women’s march. She supports sharia law, the discriminatory effects of which are clear to anyone who dares to take an honest look at orthodox Muslim communities.
