The Arab press is lauding her. The Muslim Brotherhood is lauding her. She is reveling in the praise -- as shown in her Tweets.<br /><br />On one level, it seems to me that she is doing all this partly as a publicity stunt. Certainly, she is getting some publicity.<br /><br />She has also stated that she wants it to become culturally unacceptable to criticize Islam.

Be gentle, NYC, my broken heart can only take so much."<br /><br />Based on some of her tweets involving the poetry of Neruda, Eltahawy may have a love interest over in Cairo. I also note that, contrary to her previous position on the topic, she is quite hopeful about the direction that Egypt is now taking.

They have to produce a bad guy now and again to avoid questions.<br /><br />Eltahawy's position has some merit. We know about the extensive NYPD spying operation that infiltrated all kinds of Muslim activity, often illegally, and came up with nothing,zero,nada,zilch.<br /><br />Boston sources are reporting on the activities of the regional command center and the extensive data they have collected on war protesters and others who have engaged in legal peaceful assembly. Prepping for the clamp down.<br /><br />So here comes one of these Muslim guys looking to do whatever and they always run into a sting. Doesn't seem to be any established terrorist network in the U.S. Yeah, he's probably a bad actor but there should be a little skepticism.<br /><br />The people who never color outside the lines have to be kept feeling safe you know.
