If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would be in Guantanamo Bay and in shackles.

No U.S. citizens/women are held at that blight on the global conscience, but Greene is a reminder that while US has obsessively focused “War on Terror” on brown Muslim men outside/inside its borders, this white, blonde, Christian woman inside its Capitol is face of terror at home

To equivocate as Axios does between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ilhan Omar and other members of the Squad, against whom Greene has incited violence, is spineless “both sides“ media fuckery that consistently refused and failed to call out Trump’s racism and fascism.

To lump Greene - an antifeminist and Islamophobic white supremacist - in with Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, AOC, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley - Black and women of colour who include Muslim women - it lazy and dangerous normalization of Greene's violence.

Greene is not just a "Mischief Maker" and more than a "troublemaker." She is a fascist. She is a white supremacist. She is dangerous. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…

In a country where Muslims, including children are profiled & arrested for imaginary violence, no Muslim woman or man could, as Greene has, support executing prominent politicians and incite violence against others and still evade custody. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…

In June 2020, Politico wrote about videos they uncovered from Marjorie Taylor Greene's FB page that were racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic. And yet the GOP and the US media essentially gave her a freed ride. Why? White evangelical woman feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…

MTG "suggested that Muslims do not belong in government; thinks black people 'are held slaves to the Democratic Party'; called George Soros, a Jewish Democratic megadonor, a Nazi..." politico.com/news/2020/06/1…

Some joy in these intense times. Mona, babies, the Taj Mahal: In 2016, @rerutled and I visited the Taj Mahal. It is beautiful, of course. While there, a girl in a blue headscarf (to my right) asked to have her pic taken with me. Sure, I said. And then a few other women joined us.
