Woman of Courage Awards
The physiotherapy student who was brutally gang raped on a moving bus in New Delhi and nine other women will be honored in United States for their courage last Friday at the 7th annual Secretary of State International Woman of Courage Awards,.
However ,only nine of the previously announced 10 honorees were present. Egyptian activist Samira Ibrahim, named in the original release as one of the winners, was excluded at last minute. Reason being because of her anti-Semitic and anti-American tweets on her Twitter account.

Anti-Israeli Tweets:
“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.”

Anti-American Tweets:
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.”

I think that pretty much settles it.
congratulations to the rest of Award winners
It's true....it's a well known fact about her....In the words of my bro MN "her remarks were offensive and totally racist"...but u know what, now that I think about it "SO R THE REMARKS OF MANY PPL ON QL!!!" u know who u r u dimwits lol.
Doesn't take much courage to be a racist.
How can people be so absolutely inhuman?
britexpat : doesn't take away from the fact that her remarks were offensive and totally racist
Let's get real here. The awards are given by the "State Department"..
So, there is clearly an agenda as to who gets the awards and why..
Perhaps the State Department should have taken the time to vet Egyptian activist Samira Ibrahim before offering the prestigious award to such a hardcore racist. But nope they didn’t
Ibrahim also wrote anti-american tweets on her account:
“Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning.”
So, it's fine for her to rant against the Saudis, but not against the Jews ?
Even thinking of nominating somebody that committed such "CRIMES" affecting the whole "HUMANITY" by showing hatered to the only "ELITE / CHOSEN GOD PEOPLE" is totallt unacceptaptable. The committe who considered her as a nominee should be dismissed on spot.
BTW, how is the second tweet considered Anti "American"; Is America now "officially" a Jewish country?
should be sitting and who should be ...
