Rock Hill, South Carolina (CNN)A Muslim woman wearing a hijab was escorted out of Donald Trump's campaign event on Friday by police after she stood up in silent protest during Trump's speech.
Rose Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant sitting in the stands directly behind Trump, stood up Friday during Trump's speech when the Republican front-runner suggested that Syrian refugees fleeing war in Syria were affiliated with ISIS.
Trump has previously called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S.
Despite her silence, Trump supporters around her began chanting Trump's name -- as instructed by Trump campaign staff before the event in case of protests -- and pointed at Hamid and Marty Rosenbluth, the man alongside her who stood up as well.
As they were escorted out, Trump supporters roared -- booing the pair and shouting at them to "get out." One person shouted, "You have a bomb, you have a bomb," according to Hamid.

Could this be the Rosa Parks moment that galvanizes opposition to Trump and Trumpism?
-
A private event paid for by Trump so he gets to make the rules.
If she wanted to protest, why not protest against the radicals?
I am sure the liberals are going to try and make a big thing out of this.

I highly doubt it. Trump seems to really be invincible. The only thing that will cause Trump to step down or stop him is Trump himself (for illness or other personal reasons).

I'd like to know the airline :smokin:

Passive protest and passive resistance are powerful weapons, especially because Americans are a decent people.

I'd like to know the airline :smokin:
So would I.

A woman in a Hijab standing up to protest in America is like a Nazi standing up to protest at a Jewish rally.
She would be better served protesting against her own people who are engaging in a reign of terror across the western world. Do that FIRST then come tell me how badly you are treated in America.

This is the way I see this. She was sitting in the stand behind Trump wearing a hijab - so they did not have a problem with letting a Muslim in, and letting them sit in a prominent place where the cameras would see her. So, there was no prejudice involved there.
When she stood up in silent protest (in a highly visible location) - she was trying to disrupt Trump's speech - at a private event. Trump is NOT Bernie Sanders - he is not going to allow disrupters to be on the stage with him! Silent protest in such a fashion (and you know it was premeditated) is still a disruption when it takes place on the stage. He had a right to eject her.
It's my understanding that they usually have a section at these events where protesters can exercise their free speech - just not on the stage.
Let me ask you people that are so upset about this - other than Bernie - do you know any other candidate that would allow such a thing at their events? Do you think Hillary would? Ted Cruz? Rand Paul? Marco Rubio? Carly Fiorina? Seriously????????
On reflection, Jeb might.

Jes' wonderin', but...
... how do we know this woman actually -was- "a muslim"?
And not someone dressed up in muslim garb?
If you go to the CNN page in the link above, the woman is wearing a yellow "Star of David" with the word "muslim" on it.
Would a devout, faithful muslim ever wear such a symbol?
Also, she is speaking in the video.
She doesn't sound "muslim" to me.
Listen for yourself.
Was she a fakir? An imposter?
Again, jes' wonderin' ...

No. It could it be the moment people realize the Anti-Trumpers are hate based bigots totally governed by their emotinal hysteria about Trump. There is no "right" to attempt to disrupt other citizens peaceful assemble.
People who engage in this sort of behavior are Fascist wannabees trying to stop any other ideas but their own being expressed. It scumbag childish behavior, there is nothing respectable or admirable about it.

I think you forgot a sarcasm tag.
Like this "HOW DARE THAT WOMAN STAND!" <sarcasm>
Also the woman said nothing about how badly she was treated.

The Hell she didn't...she was on CNN today talking about the nasty crowd. The Muslims - her people - would be the first to KILL anyone protesting in their countries like that.

She might have been another one of Jeb's set-ups.

I stand corrected she did say the people booing her, telling her to get out, and that she had a bomb were "nasty." I think she was justified in characterizing those people as nasty.

"The people around me who I had an opportunity to talk with were very sweet," she said. "The people I did not make contact with, the people who Trump influenced were really nasty."
One woman Hamid spoke with in line remarked that she "didn't look scary," but "like a good one."
"People don't have a chance to see anything other than the Muslims they see on TV," Hamid said, pointing to footage of terrorists and Islamist militants.
Hamid said before the event that she was not concerned for her safety, explaining her ardent belief that "people are mostly decent."
-

I don't think even Jeb would be that dumb...this was Bernie Sanders type stuff. She was a Muslim wearing a Holocaust Style star patch insinuating that the Trump supporters were like Nazis...when it was her people who supported the Nazis in WW2, her people who want to destroy Israel, her people who want to kill everyone who doesn't agree with them or their Sharia, her people committing terrorism across the west. Even Jeb is better than that. Kasich I'm not so sure, he's a politically-correct POS.

SHE was the nasty piece-of-work (I have far more choice words to say about her but I'll refrain). She is a hypocritical demagogue - she adheres to and supports a religion of mass murderers, while attempting to use our values - none of which are respected by her religion - against us.

There are a billion muslims. You paint with a very broad brush.

There were 10s of millions of Nazis and I'm certain that there were many fine human beings amongst them. But like Nazism, very much like it actually as they are very similar philosophies and systems considering one was mostly secular and the other pretends to be a religion, Islam is a cancer on humanity that needs to be utterly and completely defeated. It is a "religion" of tyranny, torture and murder - it has no redeeming value. Islam is an aggressive tyrannical political movement bent on world conquest and domination by force. Wherever it dominates it creates a dark age.
I don't care how many Muslims are decent people, it is not enough to overcome the murderous, tyrannical nature of the religion and philosophy they adhere to. In the old west there was a widely known and understood saying: "you ride with outlaws, you die with outlaws." Like with the Nazis, we can't parse who is good from who is bad, because in the end it is ALL bad and must all be destroyed. My suggestion to those "good" Muslims, renounce your religion or go back to those Hell-holes where people are happy to live under tyranny.

"I'd like to know the airline."
According to The American Spectator: "Hamid, a US Airways flight attendant..."

Good grief, I LOVE that line.
But, what I want to know is WHERE WAS HER HUSBAND!!!
We all know she got the crap beat out of her when she got home for being out in public alone. Seriously, no joke, she was as a matter of absolute fact, breaking Sharia law. She is an insult to Allah! She is in need of correction. No woman is allowed to do something like this, especially alone.
I sentence her to 100 lashings in the town square. <--(this really happens over there. this really is what she is protesting in favor of for some crazy ass reason)

This was leftist agitprop pure and simple. Go somewhere you shouldn't be, do something you shouldn't do, provoke a confrontation, run to the media with a sob story about how you were oppressed by the big bully. How stupid do they think we are?

Nasty would have been if the chopped her head off
