Beauty Industry Cannot Hide the Ugliness of Their Latest Muslim Role Models

The beauty and cosmetics industry seem to be making a concerted effort to include Muslim women on their campaigns, as two recent news items show. But what they also unfortunately show is how beauty can often be only skin deep.
Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, 26, known by her blogging name MuslimGirl, was recently announced as the winner of Revlon’s Changemaker Award in honor of her advocacy for Muslim women. However, she quickly announced herself as an Israel hater, rejecting the award because of Gal Gadot’s involvement with the company.
A look at her social media accounts reveals she’s been hating on Israel for years, spreading blood libels, mourning over palestinian terrorists, and comparing Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto, among other things.
Meanwhile, L’Oreal recently announced they cast Amena Khan, a British beauty blogger who wears a hijab, for a major hair care campaign.

Yeah, about this:
apparently, this does not include “Zionists”
Some Internet sleuths dug up some old tweets of hers (which she has since deleted, but have been saved here). Again, blood libels and delegetimization of the state of Israel are apparent.
What we are seeing in both these cases is how pandering to Muslim women – in an effort to be more “inclusive” – is actually at the expense of Israel and the Jewish people.
Apparently, hating on Jews is always in Vogue.
Update: Amena Khan has decided to step down from the campaign, and says she regrets the tweets.
