LOL. One may consider a casual reference to a Biblical 'meme' to be a massive reach, but that is how stories in the Bible work. In the end, it isn't even important to her argument, but Noor is an educated person, and is likely to color her speech so. One recognizes patterns, just as people here do for the contemporary Q drops.
For example, did you know that when women show their feet in those Biblical stories, it is a euphemism for sex? Likely the stories were 'watered down' over the millennia, for sensitive ears - who knows.
So the story of Ruth is about an immigrant widow picking up single stalks of grain in a field and then sleeping with the landowner (shock, she only took her shoes off, honest) and THEN marrying him, who becomes the grandmother of one of the greatest Kings. Imagine the outrage at pre-marital sex with a widow, and then allowing her to remain and become the King's grandmother! Scandalous.
It can be interpreted, initially, as the need for humility, and accepting strangers into the fold. But once one realizes the full extent of what happened, there is much more nuance.
It is just a good idea to re-evaluate those stories and when one sees a similarity to current events, and it helps us understand how coding works.
Eh that’s a massive reach but oh well. Overall not important, just weird when people associate things to try and make them “Biblical!”.

Nevermind.
