Dalia Mogahed: Muslima suprema on Sharia

Sharia advocate and former Obama adviser on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed (her friends call her Mega-head), recently appeared on the far left wing Daily Show. Her mission: to show how cool being a submissive Islamic woman can be and how husband beatings can turn women on.

The audience and host Trevor Noah went woozy with glee when Mogahed explained how the hijab was worn to privatize a "woman's sexuality," and only a lout could be against that.

In other words, those "louts" objecting to a woman wearing a hijab want to objectify women as sex objects, nothing more, nothing less. 

What a great way to shut up feminists or men who view women as equals. What a crafty way to silence Americans who might otherwise have taken an anti-Sharia stand because they find the way it oppresses women to be highly offensive. 

Noah should have asked Mega-head about her feelings regarding women in burqas and Sharia in Saudi Arabia forbidding them to drive. Or the fact that women have about half the legal rights of men in Islamic countries. 

Or that Sharia prescribes that men can beat their wives (even if they have the full allotted number of four Sharia allows) if they disobey their husband's demands--even demands that demand sex from them. 

Aqsa Parvez: killed by her father
Or that men are entitled to child custody in divorce and not the woman. Or that Muslim men are allowed to have sex with their slaves. 

Or that in some Muslim families, if a woman leaves the house without a hijab, the family can kill her for their "honor." In fact, in Canada, the Muslim father of Aqsa Parvez choked her to death with her newly bought hijab because she refused to wear it. She just wanted to be a Canadian teenager.

But Trevor Noah didn't bring those uncomfortable, stubborn facts up.
