cowardly Arab and Muslim-Americans not only fail to address the ills and crimes of America, but in what appears to be overcompensation for their minority status, they immerse themselves in American political folklore complete with the flag-waving, sloganeering, and transparently phony expressions of patriotism.
They have an article critiquing Mona Eltahawy on her take on the Islamophobic laws being passed in Europe against the wearing of the niqab. Mona Eltahawy was one of the early supporters of the proggies, and a search for her name on this site will turn up multiple critiques of her positions.
Here is what Ikhras writes about her recent mediocre rants that she likes to pass off as "journalism."
Eltahawy momentarily expresses unease with the “racist political right wing” but then concludes with making her position clear that “The French were right to ban the veil in public.” With this unequivocal statement, Eltahawy entrusts Islam’s interpretation and Muslim women’s right to choose to a state in top-down fashion instead of bringing about change on the grassroots level. Not any government, but one that has had a long racist, colonial history. This is not shocking coming from someone who brandishes her normalization with “Israel” on her website: “Ms Eltahawy was the first Egyptian journalist to live and to work for a western news agency in Israel.” Ms. Eltahawy, if you cannot support the fight against sexism and Islamophobia, then please Ikhrasi!
Ikhras should note that the cowardly Arab and Muslims that they are working to expose more than often also go by the misnomer "Progressive Muslims" "Liberal Muslims" self proclaimed and identified by the imperialists as "Moderate Muslims" and even some traditionalists have been caught up in this nefarious wave.

Please tell me there is some way that you and others can better coordinate to make a group blog similar to this?
many of the "progressive" muslim munafiqs from the past are now trying to either go wholesale in with the Republicans (i.e. manji, hirsa ali, kamal nawash, tareq fatah, etc.) or are trying to grab onto any issue - niqab bans, terrorism, Afghan war, etc. to keep themselves relevant (and funded) to the public.
There are some good sites that are working to expose some of the "progressive" and "liberal" Muslim types:

Asalam Aliakum!
Great to have you back! I'm still around, not don't update as often. Ikhras looks great, and I look forward to their work.
as for Eltahawy, what else do you expect from the neocon tramp who came with a recommendation from Paul Wolfowitz?
Wa Alaikum Salam Dr. Maxtor, i've been keeping up with your occasional posts - good to hear from you.
