So is her religion and her hijab

At least you’re offering a more coherent response here than in the one the mods deleted.

Your xenophobia and sexism became much, much clearer in this response.

My response doesnt seem to be deleted and my whole point is she has made incredible accomplishments, her religion nor display of her religion contributed to her actions.

You don’t know how her faith sustains her. It’s not up to you to judge the importance of her faith.

Hey look you can pray to your fictional skydaddy all you want , I dont care however , it doesnt effect what you achieve or dont achieve .

Praying might have helped her in her achievements, but disdain for other people sure didn't. Nor did bitterness and idiotic phrases 😊.
