Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

New York Daily News: “The hijab is hot!”

Oct 13, 2014 4:05 pm By Robert Spencer

hijabdamnIlookgoodThis fatuous New York Daily News puff piece and the even more repulsive project it covers both glorify a primary vehicle for the oppression of women. It’s also remarkably ignorant: there are three photos accompanying the article, and all three show women wearing niqabs, not hijabs, yet the article and the project organizers speak only of hijabs. The article also sounds the predictable victimhood chords, as we’re told that one of the project organizers got yelled at as soon as she donned a hijab.

But what about the women who have not just been yelled at, but threatened and even murdered for not wearing one? Women and girls such as Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it; and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab; and the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; and Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; and Amira Osman Hamid, who faces whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; and the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized for her family for refusing to wear the hijab; and the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told that they had to wear the hijab or be fired; and the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab; and the women also in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; and the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; and the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; and the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; and the women in Iran who protested against the regime by daring to take off their legally-required hijab; and the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab; and the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents, and all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab — when is the Daily News going to run a piece on them?

“The covered-girl look is great, say two Upper West Side artists who think NYC women should give the hijab a try,” by Justin Rocket Silverman, New York Daily News, October 13, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Hall):

The hijab is hot!

That’s the message two Upper West Side artists want to spread by encouraging women around the city to put on the veil and snap a selfie.

“Women who wear a hijab by choice are in complete control of their sexuality,” says Saks Afridi, who started the #DamnILookGood campaign with project partner Qinza Najm. “Here in New York, it’s very brave for a woman to wear one out in public.”

Najm had started wearing a hijab around New York City as an experiment, just to see what it would be like. Though she was raised in Pakistan, she and her family members do not wear the traditional head covering worn by some Muslim women. But one day she put on a hijab in her Lower East Side art studio and went for a walk around the neighborhood.

“Someone started screaming at me to ‘Go home!’ ” Najm recalls. “I was surprised because I figured people in New York would have more tolerance.”

She spent the next week wearing the hijab around town, and encountered more angry New Yorkers on the streets and subways. This aggressive reaction to a garment that’s quite common in many Muslim cultures prompted Najm and Afridi to do the project.

They launched it at the DUMBO Arts Festival last month, where hundreds of women put on the head covering and posed for selfies, posting them to sites like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag #damnilookgood.

“A selfie suggests you are feeling confident and good about yourself,” says Najm, who put her hijab back on for the project and posed with the other women.

The hijab project is called ‘an exercise in tolerance,’ aiming to help people see what it’s like to wear one. #DamnILookGood The hijab project is called ‘an exercise in tolerance,’ aiming to help people see what it’s like to wear one.

Almost none of the women who participated in the #DamnILookGood project had ever worn a hijab before.

Some, like Erin Zeitler, 25, from the Upper West Side, had always assumed that women in hijabs were being forced to wear one, and not doing it as a fashion statement.

“It was mind-opening to put one on,” she says. “It was like looking at the world through someone else’s eyes.”…

      Oh I don’t know…have you ever worn one? …what was that?

      Oh it was a no …and so because you don’t speak from experience …shut up….or put up (or put on) and then speak grannie.

        Lol Rezali. I’ve worn on one. Women getting murdered for not wearing one is not hot. And it does get a bit hot on your head too on a sunny day…

        By wearing a burka or niqab you are sending a message that Muslims thumb their nose in the face of western civilization so please be prepared to ridiculed for it. Neither of these so called outfits are required by Islam. So why are they being worn?

      • John Spielman says

        Oct 13, 2014 at 6:18 pm

        Dear Rezali:of course it’s HOT. It’s black fabric and under a hot sun , you roast , but fashionable, it is NOT. The hijab is a sign of your misogynistic religion brought to the world by none other than your chief demon possessed mass murderer thief liar and pedophile-muhammed pbuh( perpetual banishment unto hell)

          It is also bad for women´s health as studies have shown that in Saudi Arabia women have suffer from severe defficiency of vitamin D. Did Mahommed have any interest in the health of women or their well being in any way?

        When I once went to a shithole in malaysia I wore one, the other option was threats against my life. It was not “hot” “sexy” “appealing” or “empowering.”

        You know what it was? Degrading.

        The appalling Rezali Mehil wrote:

        Oh I don’t know…have you ever worn one? …what was that?
        ……………………………….

        Shi’ite Rezali Mehil says this, while Shi’ite-majority Iran forces women to wear Hijab or Chador, and will flog them if they don’t comply.

        How “hot” is that?

        “Iran: Women protest against forced wearing of hijab, 1979”

        http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/iran-women-protest-against-forced-wearing-of-hijab-1979

        And it is, of course, not just Shi’ites—Hijab is enforced in dozens of Muslim countries, including the sanguinary Islamic State.

        More:

        Was it a no …come on put your teeth back in and turn your hearing aid on…

        Oh it was a no …and so because you don’t speak from experience …shut up….or put up (or put on) and then speak grannie.
        ………………………………

        Here’s this vile Muslima, sneering at the stalwart Champ. But why not? We know that she considers a child of nine-years-old to be of marriageable age.

        Since she herself has grown children, one has to wonder if her husband has thrown her over for a pre-pubescent “second wife” yet…

        Besides—as she well knows—wearing the Hijab, or Niqab or Burqa, is not *meant* to be hot. It is meant to make a woman less attractive, so that Muslims are less likely to rape them.

        Of course, as any woman who has spent time in Dar-al-islam can tell you, this doesn’t always work—Muslims are savages.

        The “Hijab is hot” campaign has only one purpose—to soften Infidels up for Shari’ah norms.

        Rezali Mehil knows this—and she approves.

          Great analysis of “rezali mehil’s” revealing and revolting comment, Graven–as always, you are spot on here! Yeah, and imo, “rezali” is a lost cause serving an evil cause: islam.

          Champ, it is noticeable that the nasty Rezali Mehil goes after you, and Dumbledore’s Army, and Mirren—all strong women who she knows won’t put up with her misogyny and Muslim supremacy. In its twisted way, it is actually a back-handed sort of compliment.

      Only in hot weather! Due in all its parts because the weather is what’s hot and the wearer can’t get any fresh air to the head where the brain is located.
      Propaganda. Propaganda. Its to make the population *tolerant* of any thing muslim, anything that sells islam. They do hire PR firms don’t they? And firms that sell products make ads to say, “Don’t you wish you had one?” “Don’t you wish this was you?” Thus after becoming *tolerant* of this most intolerant false religion and worship of a false god, worship of the devil, one can *wish* to be veiled.
      Ever thought of how the Bible says that those who follow the devil are *veiled* and those who follow Christ are not? (2Cor. 3 and 4)

      A Muslim wearing a burqa tells a local British girl “you either believe or you disbelieve!” And that this British girl looks “naked” and asks her “who are you trying to seduce?”

        Also note here how they invoke their right to “freedom of speech” at all the appropriate moments again. It’s perfectly acceptable to use freedom of speech to eventually destroy freedom of speech- note the Sharia law banners that the people are holding!

      …Thats funny.. The Whole point of wearing it is to NOT seduce men.Libtard Muslims want to change the reality of what things are.Islam is “peace” and the hjab is HOT?.. This is why the Muslims that Actually follow Muhammad words are killing Muslims…Funny liberal Muslims.. and truth be told.If Islam is to survive at all… It will have to become this “liberal muslims” idea of… Islam…I say go with your “hot” hijab…hahaha But you will be beheaded over that…lol

        You bring up an interesting point—but I would not assume that Muslims who say Islam is a “religion of peace” or that the Hijab is “hot” are necessarily liberals—mostly, this is just Taqiyya intended for the Infidels, to deceive them into thinking that Islam is more palatable and less of a threat than it really is.

Now Thats HOT!

  2. No Fear says

    Oct 13, 2014 at 4:33 pm

    Anyone who chooses to wear a niqab is choosing to avoid non verbal communication with others. Since non verbal communication is a large part of how we communicate this is a drastic choice. Imagine someone wearing a niqab and working in a child care centre. The babies would be totally at a loss since they read facial cues.

    Everyone is free to wear hijab or whatever, but no one should force others to wear hijab. So, when will the muslims, liberals,feminists and other dhimwits start defending the women who are forced to wear hijab against their will?

        Really–done by females?

        I was under the impression that this was done by male relatives.

        Which leads me to ask this (if I appear to lack knowledge in this, it is because I do lack knowledge in this barbaric custom).

        The mother/aunt9s)/sister(s) etc. who would perform this have, apparently all gone through this. So why would they ( I realize that Islam is misogynistic, and that women have no real power) put their daughter/niece/sister through this? Are the Islamic women so (morally as well as every other way) weak?

        Any feedback would be appreciated.

(Mr. Murdoch bought The WSJ after The Post, by a few years).

        Mr. Murdoch turned the Post into a fairly conservative paper, and The Daily News morphed into a liberal rag. When I lived in NY -I left over 30 years ago–the daily News had the better comics.

    We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islamic theology makes a mockery of women’s rights.

    If women want the “full Islamic experience” these should try walking the streets WITHOUT a niqab or hijab in an Islamic state where Muslims take Islam seriously and attempt to enforce it.

    For example they could “go experience” life in say – Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Tunisia, Libya, Nigeria, Somalia, etc. etc.

    Although such women better make sure not to show any uncovered skin or wear lip stick or the local “Sharia enforcers” may tear your cloths off and/or slice your lips off etc.

    >>>>>

    Should Women Respect Muhammad and His Islam?

    Muslims love to claim that Islam has granted women equal rights. Sadly, this is not true. The Qur’an states several times that women are to be granted less rights then those enjoyed by men.

    This article will examine the status of women and their rights according to Islam, as well as some of the many disgusting things that Muhammad said regarding women.

    The inherent oppression and degradation of women in Islam is abhorrent. For every good thing Muhammad’s Islam says about women, one can easily find a passage referring to women in the most unkindly of lights. Such is the reality of the fundamentally contradictory religion of Islam. One minute Islam is the perfect religion of peace and justice – the next it commands Muslims to maim, murder and subjugate others. Muslim women should learn the truth about Islam, and fast, if they truly care about their daughters and the future of women in general.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In controversial verse 4:34 of the Qur’an, men are told to beat their disobedient wives after first warning them and then sending them to sleep in separate beds. This horrendous verse approves of and even sanctions, domestic abuse. As we shall see momentarily, Islamic theology also permits slavery and rape. No person of sound mind and good heart could believe that this is the wish of god. Islam is nothing more than the cult of a long dead, selfish little mad man named Muhammad ibn Abdullah.

    Qur’an, 4:34

    Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.

    Here is an examination of how other translators render this controversial passage:

    Pickthall: “and scourge them”
    Yusuf Ali: “(And last) beat them (lightly)”
    Al-Hilali/Khan: “(and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful)”
    Shakir: “and beat them”
    Sher Ali: “and chastise them”
    Khalifa: “then you may (as a last alternative) beat them”
    Arberry: “and beat them”
    Rodwell: “and scourge them”
    Sale: “and chastise them”
    Asad: “then beat them”

    Hadith, Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 11, Number 2142:

    Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:
    The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.

    According to Muhammad and his Islam, a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s:

    Qur’an 002:282

    “Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her”

    The Qur’an permits men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls if they want to do so:

    004:003 “If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice”

    The Qur’an compares women to a field (tilth) that a man is free to use when, and as he chooses:

    002.223 Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.

    Hadith, Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 6, No. 301:

    Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
    Once Allah’s Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o ‘Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women).” They asked, “Why is it so, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.”

    The Qur’an allows men to marry pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated.

    065.004
    YUSUFALI: Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.

    PICKTHAL: And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him.

    SHAKIR: And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair.

    Muhammad was a deranged con man who has betrayed women. Muhammad has betrayed all of mankind, in fact. Here is some more of what Muhammad said and did:

    Hadith, Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 460:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:
    Allah’s Apostle said, “If a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relation) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning.”

    Hadith, Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3371:

    Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-‘azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.

    “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle.” — Ibn Majah 1854

    The Niqab is a sign of the absolute responsibility of women in Islam for sexuality. If a woman gets raped, she’s responsible under Sharia. Women are responsible for the family’s honor. If the family’s honor is in doubt, a woman dies. So no, there’s nothing hot (as in sexy) about a niqab. They’re unhygienic, deprive the wearer of vitamin D, unsafe in a fast moving society, they’re hot (as in temperature), and they place an absolute barrier between the wearer and the non-wearers.

    I don’t believe this article for one second. Unless there is video of the supposed intolerance these allegations sound like creative writing. Who does this sort of experiment without a hidden camera these days? Those who want to fabricate a story.

    Here in the supposedly less-cosmopolitan South I’ve seen countless niqabed women roaming around, daily, for years, and nobody has ever said anything untoward to any of them. If anything people simply conspicuously avoid them, even giving them wide berths like oil tankers. When I am forced to do my cost shopping at Wal-Mart, the objectively most average slice of America available, I see a niqabed women every time I go. Nobody says anything.

    I must say though, the daring niqab with the side panels removed and with the skirt slit up to mid-thigh looks great. She should try that one in Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan, Somalia, or Saudi Arabia. I’m sure their tolerance would make the US look horrible by comparison.

    This piece (of garbage) is not merely fabricated in all likelihood, but stupid as well. Or, typical of modern media pieces on Islam.

How about two non-hijab-wearing western women in jeans and tee-shirts on the streets of Iran or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia with messages that said “#FreedomForWomenRocks” or “#LesbiansRock”? I wonder what response that would elicit from the unwashed faithful on the streets of Tehran, Multan or Riyadh? Huh?

      It’s insulting to all the women who are genuinely being oppressed by this garment. The ones being murdered for refusing to wear it.
      They should start addressing the real issue like where these people got the idea that it’s acceptable to murder someone over a piece of cloth.

    Here is my email to this clueless writer:

    First of all, why are you writing this story when it’s clear you are ignorant of the very terms you’re using? The photos in this article are photos of niqabs, not hijabs. Niqab is the veil that covers the face. Hijab is the scarf.

    Can you tell me why you support this oppression of women? You do know that in sharia enforcing countries, women are often MURDERED if they don’t comply with this dress code?

    Can you tell me why you support this oppression and brutality of women in Islamic countries?

    Can you tell me why you are promoting this oppression be committed against women in Western countries?

    (I’ll be anything you won’t answer ANY of this.)

    • Mo says

      Oct 13, 2014 at 7:23 pm

      To his credit, he did respond:

      “Hi ___,
      Thanks for taking the time to read the story and write.
      You are quite correct about the niqab. This line in the story should address that issue:

      The artists use the term “hijab” to refer to the dress code of modesty for Muslim women. The actual face covering they use in the project is known as a “niqab.”

      As for your points about oppression, please understand that I in no way support that. I am an arts reporter writing about an art project. The fact that you wrote to me seems to prove that the artists are making an impact. But they are clear that they do not support oppression of women or laws that require head coverings. As it says in the story:

      “I would not say this is a celebration but rather an exercise in tolerance,” says Afridi. “We are not for or against the hijab, we are just posting the question about how it makes people feel to wear one.”
      If anything, the artists hope their project will encourage respect for women who choose to cover their heads in public.
      The artists are clear that their project is not about supporting laws that require women to wear hijabs in public, as some Middle Eastern countries do. This is about women who have a choice to wear one, and choose to do it.

      Thanks again for writing,
      Justin”

      And here is my response:

      “I appreciate the response. But this part especially is troubling:

      “If anything, the artists hope their project will encourage respect for women who choose to cover their heads in public.”

      Of course it’s assuming that women who choose to cover their heads don’t get respect. No one has a problem with women choosing to cover their heads. That’s not the issue.

      The issue is the oppression of those women who DON’T choose to dress this way, but are FORCED to do so. There is zero tolerance in a culture that forces women to wear such attire under penalty of being beaten or even murdered if they do not comply.

      Not speaking out against intolerance, oppression and violence (and even promoting this practice in free, Westernized countries!) is a de facto support of that intolerance, oppression and violence.

      Hiding behind the, “It’s just an arts project” is not an acceptable response.

        Final exchange:

        “When one of the artists wore the head covering on the streets of NYC she was screamed at to “go home.” So I guess some people do have a problem with women who chose to cover there heads.
        But I certainly understand your points and would suggest contacting the artists directly with your concerns:

    The hijab is just a long headscarf. The face is left completely uncovered. Because of that I seriously doubt the reporters in the “project” were harassed at all. When I was young it was common to see women wearing “hijabs” to cover the curlers in their hair. Here we have a clear case of confirmation bias probably along with outright embellishment. Nobody in the free world cares if somebody is wearing a headscarf. It would only be a story if their boss was Muslim and demanded that they wear them.

    If they’re dedicated reporters then why don’t they wear the full head-to-toe niqab for a year or two. That way they can begin to “identify” with their subjugated female counterparts in the Muslim world. I bet they wouldn’t get through one hot New York afternoon.

          Otherwise, my recollection of her ( and I despised the Kennedy’s- then and now) was –on occasion, as was somewhat of a fashion, she sometimes wore a hat. (Not always).

          My comment was, my recollection was—-.

          Nowhere did I mean to imply that she was forced to do so. If anyone took that as my meaning, sorry.

          Having grown up in NYC, winters can be savage, and a hat (or for a woman, ) (possibly a scarf) to keep a bit warmer, and/or hair in place. And the veil-someone mentioned it-so I put in my 5cent worth, as the only time I recall seeing her with one.

          I agree- she was never forced to wear one, under penalty/threat of death, beating, etc.

          And, she accepted criticism gracefully, unlike the Obamas’. (With ehr, both before and after JFK’s death).

No exceptions.

      After all, if you accept that a 7th-century illiterate Arab merchant who was a bandit, a psychopath, a pedophile, a person enthralled with himself, with power and with death, a man who was never denied a SINGLE sexual desire (including for his own daughter-in-law, Zaynab, and for a six-year old, Aisha) by a deity who designated him the “last and greatest of the prophets,” who is the Model Man to be emulated for all time, then you are, a la P.T.Barnum, a true sucker. Yes, this is what Islam ultimately depends on for continued life, i.e, suckers in droves who esteem a most wretched seventh-century miscreant.

      And the dhimmis aplenty in the West who support this particularly warped exercise in mental pathology, folks like Obama, Cameron, Kerry and the present Pope, are suckers too. Oh yeah, lots of suckers out there. Way too many of them. Actually, a good argument could be made for the contention that what most plagues the modern world is an abundance of suckers who have let the built-in crap detector they were born with become horribly rusty and out of tune. I would argue this hypothesis. Readily so.

    As Chaudhry says: “My book traces the many interpretations of this verse, and argues that Muslim communities have the ability to embrace non-violent interpretations, because religious texts mean what religious communities say they mean.”

    Shades of Reza Aslan’s Islam and all other religions can be “molded and shaped into whatever form a worshiper requires”…!

    These Good Cop Muslimas in their perfectly Westernized attire and windswept airbrushed hair free of any scarves at all are the second phalanx, the second wave, of the Islamic invasion.

    No: The women do this to their own daughters/nieces/friends BECAUSE it was done to them. Stop and think for a moment, of the level of rage present in Muslim women. They are tortured and degraded from the instant of their birth. They have no hope, absolutely none. The joys of being a woman experienced by those in any other society than an Islamic one? They are deaf and dumb to these.

    So like the abused children who themselves grow to be abusers: This is what they do.

        Some of us have a keen insight into abuse, and recognize it when it occurs.

        I did not mean to imply-sorry if i did, that my brother-in-law said (or meant) that all who were abused become abusers.

        Just that many-because, sort of (or as, Ms. Brown) said, they think it is normal.

    Let these harlots go join ISIL and get raped and knocked up or slaughtered. I’m sure they believe they are being edgy and relevant with their Islamic charm offensive. Instead they demonstrate their profound ignorance and naivete.

      Speaking of which:

      What has ever happened to : the two Italian girls who snuck (illegally) into Syria for which I ( and someone else) were blasted for saying that perhaps they were not the innocent ” aid workers”. (In different terms, I agreed with the poster; I think i was blasted more then he, and called a “pro rapist”.) ( For-if anyone cares- for many months, some years ago, I dated a lovely woman who had been raped as a teen; after about 5 or 6 months-I gave up-she was highly intelligent; quite beautiful, but had so many emotional and other issues, I could not with them. Her clergyman told me, before the rape-she was different, and outgoing; now (then-when I knew her) she was paranoid. I am definitely not a pro-rapist. But I did not then, nor now, believe that they were as innocent as the post led one on to believe.

      And,

      What about the two Scottish sisters who left Scotland to join ISIS? Anything about them? In body bags?

      Curious.

        Yeah, that was me who was raked over the coals — not only for what I pointed out about those two Syrian girls, but for the broader issue of what we need to do about the metastasizing problem of Muslims invading the West. At the time, a commenter who called himself “Phillip Jihadski” was one of the main abusers.

        As I wrote there:

        “I don’t mind Philip Jihadski’s constant demeaning abusive hostility as much as I do fellow JWers (some I considered friends) not taking him appropriately to task for it. But to me, PJ’s deranged hostility is far less important than the ideological softness vis-a-vis the problem of Muslims which he purveys…”

        I note, and remember, only one Jihad Watcher who stood up for me in that thread, repeatedly — one “Tradewinds”. Hope he or she is still around.

    This is almost as bad as the story about the female genital mutilation (FGM) hotline established in the UK. It seems that muslim fathers were calling in trying to make appointments for their daughters. priceless.

    If they want to “modest” and “covered,” and “virtuous,”– and respected as women — they should convert to Catholicism, join a convent, wear a nun’s habit, and stop standing vainly on NYC street corners taking photos of themselves which will be distributed worldwide . Say cheese – –er “Ain’t I Hot in My Little Black Hijab ! Dig my mascara !”

    The statement “This aggressive reaction to a garment that’s quite common in many Muslim cultures” – explains exactly why the reactions were aggressive. Non-Muslims understand that the garment is being forced on the women by men, while Muslim women apparently believe it is right for men to dictate their clothing styles. The hijab and niqab are purely for the sake of conformity; it you feel like someone else while wearing them, it may be because you do look like someone else – all other female Muslims.

    To expand on my comment:
    To western feminists, the veil is a symbol of oppression, an explicit rejection of Western values and its implicit meaning as a status symbol. The Koran has no requirement for women to cover themselves in veil, niqab, hijab, burqa, etc.
