"Dr. Suzanne Barakat, the organiser of the Washington Women's March has repeatedly taken Donald Trump to task, claiming that his public pronouncements on Islam are engendering a climate of hate in which Muslims will be killed and their blood will be on his hands.
Who is Suzanne Barakat ?
She is the sister of one of the victims of the Chapel Hill shootings where Craig Stephen Hicks gunned down three people over a disputed parking place..
Dr. Barakat has continually claimed that Hicks, the shooter, was motivated by Islamophobia and a hatred of Muslims. This is despite the fact that the police, under intense political and media pressure, found no credible evidence to support the accusation.
This is also contrary to the known facts that Hicks had numerous, previous confrontations, with others who were non-Muslims, over the parking space.
Barakat who became the media face of Muslim victim-hood is now a frequent commentator on the alleged climate of fear Muslims have to endure in America.
She notably resurfaced in the media spotlight as a vocal critic of the movie "American Sniper". which she claimed "dehumanized Muslims".
Now we see her again............peddling the narrative that Muslims suffer under a continual backlash for terrorism they have nothing to do with.
Yet her constant media appearances paint a very different picture.
In not one of the numerous videos of Suzanne Barakat floating around the internet have i found an example of her using her undeniable media presence to categorically condemn her Jihadist coreligionists.
In not one of her numerous videos have I heard her proclaim "Muslims must take responsibility to confront the extremists in our communities".
Instead all one finds is the constant re-iteration that is America and its nascent Islamophobia that is the problem...
