This woman went on Fox News in an American flag hijab

Another day, another Fox News segment attacking Muslims.

Saba Ahmed, founder of the Republican Muslim Coalition (which is “pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-traditional family values, pro-defence, pro-trade, pro-business"), appeared on Megyn Kelly's show 'The Kelly File' on Tuesday night.

Her task was to respond to Donald Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson, who tried to defend her boss's view that in light of the Paris attacks it made sense to shut down all mosques in the US, which are "hotbeds" of political and terrorist activity.

Exquisitely calmly, Ahmed reminds the pair that "we go to the mosque to pray":

You wouldn't shut down churches just because there were one or two Christians acting badly.

But let's be honest: her hijab was doing most of the talking.
