Al Jazeera’s female talent resigns over modesty demands
|

Five female Al Jazeera presenters have resigned after being accused of “dressing immodestly.” The five presenters— along with three others who are currently still at the network — filed an internal complaint in 2009 accusing deputy editor Ayman Jaballah of harassment over fashion and modesty issues.
Ayman Jaballah, a former al-Arabiyya staffer, is an Egyptian native who has been vocal in his support for the Muslim Brotherhood (?????).
Al Jazeera execs finally addressed the internal complaint last Tuesday. Except… Jaballah was not censured for harassment. Instead, Al Jazeera’s corporate hierarchy seems to have rewarded him.

Interesting that CAIR (human rights organization) hasn’t jumped all over this to defend these women. They have so many times before.
You’d think Muslim women would be free to choose how much skin they want to show (or not show) on television, but apparently not.
Fact is Muslim women must do what Muslim men say. That’s just how it is and it’s backed up in the Quran. |
