Ann Coulter Insults Fatima Al-Dhaher, a Muslim Canadian Univ. Student by Tells her to "Take a Camel"

Conservative wingnut Ann Coulter insults Fatima Al-Dhaher, a Muslim university student in Canada, tells her to "take a camel" in response to her question about flying.


There is no other way to describe rightwing pundit Ann Coulter but as a wingnut and a racist pig. Coulter, on her Canadian tour of three universities, told Fatima Al-Dhaher, a University of Western Ontario Muslim student, to "take a camel" as an alternative to flying. How rude, but the reality is they got what they paid for.

Here's how it went down:

The student, Fatima Al-Dhaher, asked Coulter about previous comments in which she said Muslims shouldn't be allowed on airplanes and should take "flying carpets" instead. Al-Dhaher noted she did not own a flying carpet and asked what she should take as an alternative transportation.

Coulter did not deny making the flying carpet comment and replied to the university student: "What mode of transportation? Take a camel" to a mix of jeers and cheers.  Source: CTV.ca
Coulter made the comment Monday night after she received an email from Francois Houle, vice-president academic and University of Ottawa provost, about the limits of free speech in Canada.

The private email, which was leaked to conservative news organizations, noted that Canada's Charter of Rights meant that "promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges."

The letter only added fuel to the fire of Coulter's speaking tour, which is titled, "Political Correctness, Media Bias and Freedom of Speech." "I was the victim of a hate crime and plan to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission," Coulter said Monday. Source: CTV.ca
One would think this idiot would understand what it felt like to be discriminated against, since she believes she was the victim of a "hate crime." There was no reason for her to respond to this young lady in such a manner. She is going to meet her Waterloo one day.
