Free Asma’a al-Ghoul from Hamastan?
Phyllis Chessler is promoting the idea of granting political asylum to a Palestinian journalist who dared to speak out against Hamas' policies regarding battered women:
President Obama: With Asma’a’s permission, I am hereby submitting her name for your consideration for political asylum. She has been “battered” by Hamas’s religious police and by an Islamified society and culture which has hardened its position vis a vis women. As a feminist journalist, Asma’a has no future in Gaza. She is actually a member of an endangered species.Muslim feminists as an endangered species? That's an interesting take.
