Why was Islamism endorsed in an anti-Trump Women’s protest?

20 January 2017: The history of one of the most radical democracies in the world, i.e. United States of America, was rewritten once again, when after years, apparently the most politically incorrect American politician, real estate baron Donald Trump, took his oath as the 45th President of the United States of America. However, what makes the election of Donald Trump so unique is the fact that despite the vicious campaign launched against him by elite [mind you, not eminent and genuine ones]dignitaries, in collusion with an equally vicious media [though in no way any more vicious than our own Indian media], he managed to overcome their conspiracy, with an overwhelming electoral majority, riding on promises of setting the politics of USA straight.

However, it seems that the trouble for the new president is far from over. Not in terms of his post as the President, but in terms of the issues that he is actually fighting for. For those, who are not very aware of United States politics, let me tell you, Donald Trump is almost the anti thesis of the normal US politician: Straightforward, Unapologetic & Politically Incorrect.

On 21st January 2017, apparently a day before the 44th anniversary of the historic judgment on Women’s abortion by the Honb. Supreme Court, starting from Washington D.C., the capital of USA, a huge procession of over 5 hundred thousand women and LGBT activists, apart from supporters of Black Lives Matter. Following issues were perceived behind the worldwide Women’s March, which attracted some 26 million followers the world over:-
⦁ Promoting Women’s Rights
⦁ Call for Immigration Reforms
⦁ To address environmental and worker issues
⦁ Call for Healthcare Reforms
⦁ Counterattack to Islamophobia, Rape Culture, LGBTQ abuse

But the timing of the Women’s March exposed something else. Exactly a day after Donald Trump was bestowed with the honorable post of the President of the United States of America, this Women’s March was held, and the epicenter of this march was specifically in Washington D.C. Besides, to speak the truth, not one genuine issue of women oppression was taken up in Women’s March. Instead what observers were this:-
