Once again it was a difficult decision. I had to go with Linda Sarsour. Webster's should post a picture of Linda in the definition of hypocrite. She calls herself a women's rights activist. Was one of the organizers of the Women's Rights March, you know the one with Madonna, Ashley Judd and the Vagina costumes.
I have asked Linda via Twitter how a supporter of Sharia can be a women's rights activist. Of course now that she has got more well known she refuses to answer. Before we get into Linda in more detail, lets look at some of what the al-Azhar approved Sharia Law Manual, The Reliance of the Traveler says.
m3.4 - 3.7 say that a woman may not "conduct her own marriage", meaning that she is not free to marry by choice. A male guardian is required to validate the marriage agreement.
m3.8 says that a woman is not free to choose her guardian. It is assigned by family relation. Once she is married, she becomes the charge of her husband's guardianship.
A Muslim woman may not marry a non-Muslim man (Quran 2:221). An untranslated portion of the Sharia even forbids an Arab woman from marrying a non-Arab man (source).
(m13.4) - A woman has no right to custody of her children from a previous marriage when she remarries.
(m5.1) - It is obligatory for a woman to let her husband have sex with her immediately when he asks her... and she can physically endure it.
(m10.11-2) - It is not lawful for a wife to leave the house except by the permission of her husband.
(m10.11) - When a husband notices signs of rebelliousness in his wife, he warns her in words. If she commits rebelliousness, he keeps from sleeping with her without words, and may hit her, but not in a way that injures her, meaning he may not break bones, wound her, or cause blood to flow.
(o4.9) - The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man.
(L10.3) - Divide the universal share so the male receives the portion of two females (Rule of inheritance based on the Quran 4:11)
(m2.3) - It is unlawful for women to leave the house with faces unveiled
Reading those excerpts how can one be both a Women's Right's Activist and a Sharia Law Supporter?
A few tidbits from her Twitter feed:

Linda, if you think President Trump and Republicans are horrible for women, yet support Sharia Law, you might be a Hypocrite!
