Whatever Yassmin said or didn't say, she has in no way deserved the treatment she has received.
Anyone not vociferously condemning the vile, abusive, hate-filled threats and intimidation that has beenheaped upon her is no champion of freedom of speech.
As i teach my children, when you resort to foulness, you not only forfeit the right to be heard, you hand your opponent the win.
Yassmin, to any reasonable person, has come out of this the victor. Whatever she has said or done that is not ideal pales in comparison to the treatment she has received.
Don't make yourself a public commentator if you do not want the public to comment on you. Islamic head-dress, big teeth and Sudanese Muslim origins do not give her immunity. She has made a massive disservice to Muslims everywhere, once again. People like her do that.
Open, free public debate. Bring good ideas, not identity politics. She has not brought any good ideas and plenty of identity politics. She was slammed down as she deserved.
Next time, bring good ideas.
