Baroness Uddin, the first Muslim woman to serve in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, reacted to an earlier statement by state Sen. Adam Ebbin saying that the Virginia General Assembly shouldn’t be discussing foreign policy. The comment was made in response to a criticism from an audience member about the Virginia Legislature’s 2016 resolution reaffirming support for Israel and condemning a movement to boycott Israeli products. “I’m shocked to hear people say that they don’t want to talk foreign policy,” said Uddin. “The whole world is aflame. If we don’t talk about foreign policy, we’re missing opportunities. All of these issues are interrelated.”
