Recently Islamic supremacists and Leftists celebrated “World Hijab Day,” in supposed solidarity with the Muslim women who have allegedly faced discrimination and harassment for wearing the hijab. I trust that in light of this news story that the organizers of World Hijab Day will now organize World Hijab-Free Day, in honor of all the women who are threatened and brutalized for not wearing the hijab.
“Islamists order women to don veil in eastern Syria,” from Reuters, February 19 (thanks to Twostellas):
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Islamist rebels in eastern Syria have ordered women to put on the Islamic veil, warning that anyone not doing so would be held to account, in a concerted new attempt by hardliners to impose their strict views on society.
In a statement, an organisation calling itself the Islamic Law Council of Deir al-Zor gave women until Saturday to don the face veil. It did not say what punishment would befall women who fail to comply with the order.
Armed Islamist groups have become the most powerful force in the almost three-year-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, who has long portrayed himself as the defender of a secular order in Syria.
“Given that sins are the main reason delaying victory, the legal council in the town of Deir al-Zor is obliged to promote virtue and prevent vice,” said the statement posted by an activist on Facebook and also reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, whose monitors records violence in the Syrian civil war.
Last month, the New York-based Human Rights Watch reported that the Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – both hardline Islamist rebel groups – were enforcing their strict interpretation of Islamic law by requiring women to wear head scarves and full-length robes.
Citing interviews with refugees, Human Rights Watch also said Islamists were imposing discriminatory rules banning women and girls, particularly those not abiding by their dress code, from moving freely in public, working and going to school.

GRADUALISM: the policy of approaching a desired end by gradual stages.
Jihadists introduce enslavement by degrees, just like Mohammed. Eventually, they will have Iran or Saudi Arabia.
Iran is executing political prisoners at the rate of 2 a day. Where is the protest of paid trained seal Reza Aslan? Does he think political murders of political opposition members is a good thing?
This is the ‘democratic opposition’ that Kerry believes in like he believes in the unicorn as well. MR. KERRY, PLEASE LEARN REAL ISLAM, NOT THE FAIRY TALE VERSION!

The real cause of all this mess is not Islam, it’s not Obama, it’s us.
We have become so brainwashed , so cowards and so self-absorbed that we refuse to take any action against this evil Obamafia .
We need to wake up. This mafia gang is not only destroying the Middle East, its ultimate goal is the destruction of America itself. Obama is the enemy in the White House.
We know it, yet, we are letting it happen.

To the leftists who celebrated WORLD HIJAB DAY, did you get your female “circumcision”(also better known as female genital MUTILATION) as well?

When’s it going to be world ‘women are deficient in reasoning’ day, or ‘a woman’s paradise is beneath the foot of her husband’ day, in honor of our Muslim friends?
Walter Sieruk says
The Muslim mindset about the veiling of females is just part of the extreme misogyny of Islam. As BrigItte Gabriel explained in her book THEY MUST BE STOPPED. Which exposes that “Across the Muslim world, even in moderated Islamic countries, women’s rights are almost nonexistent… women in Islam are considered unclean,deemed inferior even to dirt.”

Syria: “Islamic Law Council” orders women to don veil — or else
…………………………………
Jihadists imposing Shari’ah law? Who would have thought it? Of course, this is the whole purpose of Jihad.
And what is more central to Shari’ah than the forced veiling of women?

Somehow I imagine being “held to account” will entail something rather more than a sermon about modesty…

In other words, “sinful” women and anyone else deemed “insufficiently Islamic” is being held responsible for the fact that the Jihadists haven’t yet seized full control of Syria. This is bound to work out well for the victims…sar/off
