Zakia Belkhiri, 22, was lauded as an “inspiration” by the media as her picture next to Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest) protesters went viral. She was photographed taking the selfies as she flashed a peace sign in front of protesters at the third annual Muslim Expo in Antwerp.
FOX News (h/t Michele C) The protests were part of the increasing resistance in Belgium and elsewhere in Europe to the flood of Muslim refugees, freeloaders, and jihadists pouring in from in the Middle East and Africa.
“How To Neutralize Anti-Islam Protesters with a Selfie,” was the headline of a Vice.com article where the photos by Jurgen Augusteyns initially appeared. Belkhiri told the BBC she took the photos “to show that things can be different. And that we can live together, not next to each other but with each other.”

Social media commenters called Belkhiri “a badass” who put anti-Islamist protesters in their place. But the newfound notoriety brought scrutiny of Belkhiri’s alleged Facebook and Twitter posts by Breitbart.com and other sites. Many were far more disturbing than anything Belkhiri was protesting.
Breitbart But web sleuths have now claimed that Ms. Belkhiri’s “peace sign” in the picture is perhaps out of character for her. They claim she tweeted in 2012: “Hitler didnt kill all the jews, he left some. So we [would] know why he was killing them”.
The tweet, seen in these screengrabs, appears to have been sent on the 29th December 2012, is now circulating social media as people attempt to draw attention to Ms. Belkhiri’s alleged racist views. As Ms. Belkhiri has now deleted her account it is not possible to verify these tweets.
Shortly before she deleted her accounts, Ms. Belkhiri tweeted: “I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST JEWS THOSE TWEETS ARE FAKE THEY ARE PHOTOSHOPPED BUT if you don’t believe me that’s your choice people”.
But social media users are also claiming her Ask.fm account allegedly read: “fuck that Jewish language” when she was asked if she wanted to learn Hebrew while critics claim her Facebook account expressed her hatred for Jews.
The initial story was lauded by Buzzfeed, whose writers called Ms. Belkhiri an “inspiration”, and by the BBC, the Telegraph, the Huffington Post, Vox, Mashable, Mic, and hundreds of other websites around the world.
“Unfortunately, she proved no exception, she proved the rule. She is the rule. The rabidly hating Jews rule where the average Muslim is concerned… The Internet does not forget. And screenshots are eternal. Oh yeah Zakia, you want fame? Enjoy it girl. We’ll keep an eye on you.”
And while Ms. Belkhiri claims that she wanted to avoid fame, it does not explain her tweet as she was first going viral, which read: “I ain’t a diva but don’t push me fame is like the sweetest joy next to getting money”.
After the Breitbart expose, Muslim Selfie Girl returned to Twitter to say: “I meant Zionists, NOT Jews.”
Breitbart Far from the tolerant, moderate Muslim she was portrayed as Ms. Belkhiri tweeted “Hitler didnt kill all the jews, he left some. So we [would] know why he was killing them.”
At first, she argued that the screengrabbed tweets, Ask.fm comments, and Facebook posts had been “photoshopped”. But when she returned to Twitter this afternoon she announced: “my opinion many years ago was meant on the zionist back then, that spread hate instead of love so to all the other jews peace be upon you!”
But her explanation scarcely accounts for her attack on Hebrew as a language, of which she said “fuck that Jewish language” and her comments about the extermination of Jewish people by German leader Adolf Hitler during the Holocaust and Second World War.
Ms. Belkhiri’s disappearance from social media led to social media users photoshopping her at terrorist atrocities and even the Holocaust to lampoon her.
Idiots,you can’t even counter this… Shame on you all…two methods to counter that towel(garbage rag)head in future:
(1):Any pork or pig products…a pig head would do fine…even images would sometimes scare the hell of out of it(the “girl”)
(2)alcohol spray. .. Like they do with champagne when they celebrate an event…(but cheaper beer would also work… Pig urine and pork cocktail sausages will work as good projectile weapons….
it would be nice if someone could photoshop this rag head alien outcast (lip to lip romance with porky pig or any pig)…that would be even more cooler…
I would dare it(her)to take a selfie near porky pig fans lol..if such people exist. .
Text book example of what is called “foot in mouth disease” sadly no one has died from it yet… maybe she can kill herself for offending herself??
She needs to wear the one with a mesh.
The hate that these people harbor against Jews has lasted millennium after millennium and it will not stop. How about they stop the hate? No other group of people in the history of our civilization has been as hateful as these ugly spawns of Satan.
Vickie, they cannot stop the hate against Jews because the quran tells them that Jews are apes and pigs, and must be converted or killed, or enslaved for life.
she is a MOROCCAN ….the moroccans are the WORST of the muslims
She’s not an actual “radical” she’s a dumbass just trying to look cool (yes, that can be equally as dangerous- but I don’t want her to get credit for what she’s not)…a real radical wouldn’t be quoting 2Pac…and the correct words to her “inspired quote” are this, from the song Makaveli
“I ain’t a killa but don’t push me; revenge is my sweetest joy next to getting p*ssy…”
…fuckin idiot…people like her need to be taken out of the gene pool…
how come all the SJW’s never bring up the worldwide atrocities committed on women?
Good one. maybe ask her views on fgm while on the subject. or does she have any acid burns??
wow , if there is truly a devil , it is loving her
Poster Child …. for “Post-Hate” Islam …. until she finds her delicious “San Bernardino” moment of fame ?
rip this headbag’s throat.
She looks like a man.
She has no soul or feelings for humanity.
Her devotion is to Satan because she loves the Quran.
where the “badass” part? the protesters is peaceful enough and knowing the polices also present even a frail 100 years old grandma can walking around safely without fear someone throwing rock or firebomb to her,
well “girl” if you want to promote your bigoted “religion” and be called inspiration,try to take selfie while you being FGM-ed or after throwed with acid,I believe that willl hunded times more “inspiration”
very true
but they agree with acid throwers it seems
She is like all Muslim: deceitful and dangerous.
She is a muslime bimbo bitch. Peace sign???? WHY?
she is practicing free speech. if you don’t express yourself how will you know any potential problems via the one speaking? even if you don’t like the ugly bitch.
Gee, who could’ve seen this coming? Everyone with half a brain. Love her newest Twitter snaps — humor is the perfect weapon against a humorless foe with no sense of irony, no self-realization, and completely without mirth.
She’s a grandstander with an evil agenda.
uh oh … the internet has a looooong memory. And social media provides ‘the rope’ by which these fakes ‘hang’ themselves. Interesting.
You people are so stupid perhaps the absolute brutality of the false prophets children will wake some of you up before the end.
An “inspiration”? Try an insipid looking bitch.
Somebody break this bitch’s jaw and fingers so we don’t have to listen to her noxious bullshit anymore. Thank you.
don’t need to worry,after she married her husband will break her jaw and finger on daily basis
Her selfie days are over. They ALL hate the Jews.
You best keep that stuff in Europe that’s all I got to say and any of you Americans over here that want to start that mess you better step up and bring it up cuz care ain’t going to be able to do a damn thing for you we know our constitutional rights and we will defend them you anti-semitic freaks
I simply can’t wait for the whole pile of Perfidious damnable MSM to get what is coming to them, they are the single worst evil on the planet because they are FULLY SUPPORTING and promoting, the vile musslime.
Deceived and a deceiver.
Did the lefty racist media post any retraction or are they too pro nazi.
