***UPDATE: AP says State Department has has a recent change of heart and has now postponed the award:

But State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Thursday the U.S. would hold off on awarding Ibrahim while officials investigate the tweets, which include support for attacks against U.S. diplomatic installations and praise for a terrorist assault against Israeli citizens in Bulgaria. …

“We, as a department, became aware very late in the process about Samira Ibrahim’s alleged public comments,” Nuland told reporters. “In conversations with us in the last 24 hours, Ms. Ibrahim has categorically denied authorship. She asserts that she was hacked. But we need some time, and in order to be prudent, to conduct our own review.

Good.

This Friday March 8, Michelle Obama and the traitor Hanoi John Kerry will be handing out the Secretary Of State’s Women of Courage Award to ten women One of those women is a virulently anti-semite who tweeted last year “An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news.”

Here is another tweet of hers:

Samira Ibrahim tweet

Last August 4, commenting on demonstrations in Saudi Arabia, she described the ruling Al Saud family as “dirtier than the Jews.” Seventeen days later she tweeted in reference to Adolf Hitler: “I have discovered with the passage of days, that no act contrary to morality, no crime against society, takes place, except with the Jews having a hand in it. Hitler.”

David Wood of Answering Muslims sarcastically opines: “Gotta respect the intelligence of our leaders. What’s next for Samira? A Nobel Prize?”

Her name is Samira Ibrahim.

Weekly Standard – On Friday March 8, Michelle Obama will join John Kerry at a special ceremony at the State Department to present ten women the Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award. The award, says the press release, is given to “women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women’s rights and empowerment, often at great personal risk.”

Five of these awards are being given to women from Muslim-majority countries, underscoring the unique plight of women in those countries. The only problem is that one of the women to be recognized is an anti-Semite and supports the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

Samira Ibrahim, as the State Department’s profile describes her, “was among seven women subjected by the Egyptian military to forced virginity tests in March 2011.” The press release further notes that Samira “was arrested while in high school for writing a paper that criticized Arab leaders’ insincere support to the Palestinian cause.” Apparently, the State Department is unaware of her other convictions.

On Twitter, Ibrahim is quite blunt regarding her views. On July 18 of last year, after five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver were killed a suicide bombing attack, Ibrahim jubilantly tweeted: “An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news.”

Apparently this morning, she's decided she's not going to "apologize to the Zionist lobby in America" for her remarks. So she's not only a Muslim anti-Semite she's a liar too, for first claiming her Twitter account was hacked and she didn't make those remarks.

Yup, that's Obama's State Dept. for you, 'Oh, we didn't know about that'.

SHUURRE, you didn't. ;-) ;-) If you didn't know, you're incompetent. If you did know, you're complicit trying to honor an America hating, Jew hating, Muslim.

Based on current administration policy she should be incinerated with a hellfire missile, not getting honored by Michelle Obama.

Hey, Obama & 'machine'. If you're so determined to give this award to a Muslim who has spoken up for 'women's rights', (I guess there are no persecuted Christian women in the Middle East worthy of it), where's the nomination for the little Muslim girl the Taliban shot in the head for speaking out and who is still speaking for Islamic girls to be able to go to school right now? She managed to do it without 'slamming' Israel, or is that part of the pay-off for this specific woman, because you're to big a 'chicken sh*t to come right out and say how you really feel about Israel.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz might not be as willing to wash the 'skid marks' out of your Jockey Shorts if you did something like that, huh. ;-) ;-)

Oh please, they knew exactly who she is. They're saying "she may need some more review" now, because the Conservative media exposed her for who she really is. If the Conservative media hadn't done it's job, "Hanoi John' and Michelle Obama would have been happy to honor this 'Bigot' Muslim.

Maybe she will wear her favorite fireworks vest to receive the award -- and show everyone how it works. She should be able to get in as long as they don't have the bomb smelling dogs on duty.

Obama will continue to suck up to and support all mu-slime groups because he wants to support "his own". He's a traitor and his administration is packed with traitors , communists and those seeking the downfall of America.

This doesn't pass the smell test. From what I have read about her, Samira Ibrahim is basically the leader of the women's rights movement - as well as the anti-Muslim Brotherhood movement - in Egypt. The worldview she espouses on its face seems to be incompatible with anti-semitism.

Moreover, although I, like most of us here, do not speak Arabic and thus am not really qualified to comment on what she has said, I did peek through google translated versions of her tweets from the past few months (including the dates in question here) - as far as I could tell and there was no mention of Jews or for that matter anything that we would consider offensive (at least from what I could put together, after all. It's still machine translation so a lot of it was gibberish). There were what appeared to be several mentions, however, of her twitter account having been hacked.

More importantly, although we all love to criticize the administration, if she is so anti-semitic that she runs her mouth on twitter about it then there is no possible way that they would present any sort of prestigious award to her. Even if they are evil, they're not that stupid.

" Even if they are evil, they're not that stupid."

You're right, they're not stupid but they firmly believe we are. If it wasn't for the Conservative media exposing this bigot for what she is, no one would know a thing about it. Now the Obama 'machine' is saying "We 'may' have to take her nomination under review". In liberalspeak, that means 'Oops, we got caught trying to slide another one past you'. ;-) ;-)

"...Ibrahim herself has spoken, writing in Arabic on her Twitter page. Egyptian democracy activist Mina Rezkalla provides the translation: "I refuse to apologize to the Zionist lobby in America regarding my previous anti-Zionist statements under pressure from American government therefore they withdrew the award.""

hmmmmm.... somebody tipped her to say "Zionist" instead of "Jew".

Because as we all know, that makes a difference / <sarcasm tag

Isn't it interesting how 'honest' she can be now that she's figured out there's no

'Obama gravy' in it for her anymore. Typical lying Muslim. Speaking of lying Muslims ..

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, “the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Confusing, isn't it ?

" There were what appeared to be several mentions, however, of her twitter account having been hacked."

And you believe that ? Credulous much ?

She'll have to prove that now. Good luck with that.

"Even if they are evil, they're not that stupid."

They are both evil and stupid.

It's literally like watching people becoming possessed by evil. I never thought I'd see insanity like this... Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize just days after taking office? Evil being applauded and rewarded - by the supposedly most tolerant, peace-loving people on Earth (liberals)? Bad is good and good is bad.

We're watching the bible unfold right before our eyes.

God is good... He said these things would come to pass... I'm sorry for not having faith enough to think it could happen during my time. These people are sick.
