Middle East Contrarian, Danish-Style
Posted by Heather Hurlburt

Update -- Meanwhile, Sarkozy names a woman of North African origin as his Justice Minister.  Et apres on verra bien, as they say...

A 25-year old Danish Muslim woman, Asmaa Abdol-Hamid, is running for Parliament.  Here's how The Guardian describes her:

The 25-year-old social worker, student and town councillor describes herself as a feminist, a democrat, and a socialist. She has gay friends, opposes the death penalty, supports abortion rights, and could not care less what goes on in other people's bedrooms. In short, a tolerant Scandinavian and European.

She is also a Palestinian and a devout Muslim who insists on wearing a headscarf, who refuses, on religious grounds, to shake hands with males, and who is bidding fair to be the first Muslim woman ever to enter the Folketing, the Danish parliament in Copenhagen.

Her party put her up for a safe seat, so she's likely to win -- the question is whether the famously-tolerant-yet-also-quite-conservative Danes will let her take her seat in the headscarf.

I'd like to be around when she's introduced to Dinesh D'Souza, who thinks Islamic traditionalists and American conservatives should make common cause against... left-wingers.
