I have no issue about the woman she mentions. What I am pointing out to Jezebel is that she is most likely Muslim. And, Jezebel has previously, in my view, equated being a Muslim with being a terrorist.

You know she's a huge threat to the Taliban tyrants even more so than male candidates!

Muslim. In case you've forgotten, you've painted Muslims, negativity in very broad strokes as being terrorists. Just saying.
Jezebel appears to be responding to the Afgan woman's bravery and sense of comittment. I seldom agree with Jezebel's vuews, but she is closer to right on this one than you are.

But in this instance Jezebel looked past the woman's religion and at the woman's courage. You should have complimented Jezebel on that instance of mental clarity, but instead you took it as a chance to draw blood.
when you say:
"But in this instance Jezebel looked past the woman's religion and at the woman's courage."
That's not an assumption I'm willing to make given her history of rhetoric against all Muslims and equating them with terrorists.
And, given she sided with Moethebully calling me a terrorist apologist, no I'm not going to over look this example of either ignorance or hypocrisy.
My moment of "mental clarity?" LOL
Actually, it was more of a gender issue to me than religious one.
However, the fact she is even running for office means she's not fundamentalist Muslim in the first place.
She has spoken about liberalizing laws about women in Muslim society....
Muslim women do hold public office in muslim countries. Benazir Bhutto was president of Pakistan till she was rubbed out in 2007.
One of Afghanistan's major exports is poppy seed used to make drugs. I've seen afghani workers, nice people, and very rich. 10 bucks an hour where a dollar is worth like 100 dollars in buying power in Afghanistan. When asked to do more work in our sweatshop companies they quit, still get unemployment, and are still millionaires.
