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

Victory! Mason High School principal cancels hijab event, apologizes

Apr 16, 2015 11:40 pm By Robert Spencer

Aqsa Parvez, murdered for not wearing hijab
Aqsa Parvez, murdered for not wearing hijab

Your calls and emails did this, Jihad Watch readers. Stand up and take a bow for Aqsa Parvez and all the other women and girls who have been brutalized and murdered for not wearing hijab. On this Facebook thread, people are whining about this being a victory for “bigotry and intolerance,” but of course it is no such thing. In reality, it is a victory for fairness in education: there should be no event trying to give people a favorable view of Islam without similar events for Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism. And there should be no event extolling the hijab without an evenhanded presentation about how women are all too often victimized for not wearing it.

An update on this story. “Mason principal cancels Muslim event, apologizes,” by Patrick Brennan, Cincinnati Enquirer, April 16, 2015 (thanks to T.):

Update, 10:22 p.m.: The Mason High School’s Muslim Student Association April 23 event – the “Covered Girl Challenge” – has been canceled by principal Mindy McCarty-Stewart.

The cancellation, announced in a Thursday night email to MHS parents, comes in response to negative backlash received by school officials for an email sent by school officials earlier Thursday.

The initial, informational email sent by school officials from their Student Activities Department account publicized the event, and appeared to endorse it.

McCarty-Stewart has apologized for the initial email, and to anyone offended by receiving it.

“This (previous) communication should not have come from our Student Activities Department because this was a student-led initiative, rather than a school-sponsored activity,” McCarty-Stewart wrote in the email. “We will put procedures into place in the future that ensure that any communication from a school email is for a school-sponsored event, and not merely supported by a student-run group.

“As the event spread beyond our school community, however, we received many strong messages that made me reconsider the event’s ability to meet its objectives. I now realize that as adults we should have given our students better guidance. After much consideration and after talking with the student event organizers, we have cancelled the event.”

As part of the MSA’s Covered Girl Challenge, female students were to be asked to consider wearing a hijab, or a traditional Muslim woman’s headdress, during the April 23 school day, according to the initial email. The event was to have been voluntary.

Mason City Schools officials did not respond to multiple Enquirer requests for comment Thursday night.

Previous report: Mason High School’s Muslim Student Association is holding an event in which female students will be asked to consider wearing a hijab, or a traditional Muslim woman’s headdress, during the April 23 school day.

In an email sent to Mason High School parents Thursday, school officials said the scheduled “Covered Girl Challenge” event was created to celebrate the school’s unique and diverse student body.

The email, published by JihadWatch.org, was obtained by The Enquirer from multiple Mason High School parents.

“In order (to) celebrate this diversity and promote open mindedness, the Muslim Student Association is inviting all female students to participate… Afterwards, there will be a discussion (open for all students, male & female).”

Mason City Schools did not immediately to Enquirer requests for comment.

The event has sparked a debate on JihadWatch and on Facebook.

On JihadWatch, comments ranged from criticism of Mason City Schools employees for allowing the event, to claims that the Mason High School Muslim Student Association has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.…

This is, of course, utter nonsense, and Patrick Brennan of the Cincinnati Enquirer of course made no attempt to contact me. What I pointed out was the readily demonstrable fact that the MSA was a Muslim Brotherhood organization. Did I say that the children in its Mason High School chapter were Brotherhood operatives? Of course not. Would Patrick Brennan of the Cincinnati Enquirer think it not worth noting if a high school KKK chapter (if such a thing existed) sponsored an event, even if its apple-cheeked members had never participated in a cross-burning?

    How long has the MSA had high school chapters?

    Glad the event was cancelled, but why was it ever OK in the first place? To avoid blatant promotion of Islam in public schools, seems the general NON-Muslim population has to cry foul every time, often post-event with a lawsuit.

    This is just insane.

      P. S.: I don’t let mean people have the last word and I refuse go without a fight of words. I retreated and return bolstered by the writings and words of our forefathers. I offer here a little background about me so you can know a little about whom you despise.

      Dear American neighbors: I only recently completed a 30 year career serving OUR country. My position required annual psychoanalysis, polygraphs, drug testing and cognitive skills evaluation to increase the probability that I was and continued to be of sound mind and so that I was permitted access to knowledge so new and valuable that it had to be protected (IED detection is one example). My happiest contribution came at the end of my career where I worked to develop a new generation of prosthetic arm to literally rearm our military sons and daughters who are returning home without them. I am working toward FAA certification to legally and commercially fly aerial photography drones. My criminal and driving records are spotless. I was on the board of directors and a volunteer for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America for 20 years which required finger printing, federal listing, and evaluation to participate. I was a teacher who taught tens of thousands of American students from pre-school through high school. My degrees are in engineering and I spent decades in religious studies to help develop cross culture communication skills.

      So please consider the number of American neighbors and patriots scheduled to gnaw and gnash teeth for eternity yet continue to do good work. Join us one evening in your area’s Recovering from Religion group to hear first hand the living hell endured by those of us who were born into evangelical households and believed for years we were the devil because we questioned authority, rituals, Satan, god. Learn how our human empathy had us instinctively recognize that love and respect are not commanded, they are earned. Learn how we survived the living hell of a childhood where the rod was not spared by those who demanded love and respect and subsequently earned neither. Find out how we discovered and practiced values that encourage love and respect as the reward for behaving and living in a way where it floods towards you from those who feel it freely without fear of retribution. Discover how we continue to love even though we never agree to disagree because we almost always agree that is lazy. Our convictions are bolstered by the love and respect that floods in from those with whom we freely and gently love and respect even in the face of hate, jihad, eternal soul torture or other gruesome (non-psychotic?) divine revelations written by men and adhered to by the delusional. That sounds mean, I know, but it remains our experience.

      Knowing this little bit about me, please resort to your values and pick your choice of words to describe me while knowing at least that you are attacking an American neighbor who defends the application of our laws with reason. We will eternally fight the good fight and stop intentional infliction of pain and torture, physical or mental, anywhere it exists inside or outside our homes and if you insist, we will fight it in the afterlife too. Your dogma is eternally exhausting.

      I will continue to find solace in the writing and words and actions of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin and ALL of our American patriots who worked and continue to work to forge a land ruled by reason. I will continue to read the words of those with whom I disagree to determine if my position continues to be sound. However, when someone with whom I disagree attacks viciously with their words, then I carefully consider the source and that is usually sufficient to ignore the rest. I have read all the sacred texts of all the religions that continue to war to this day so I do not have to return to those writings since I am done with divine revelations that perpetuate human ugliness.

      I was questioned for my use of the word rabid to describe some of the adults attending this forum. I recall at least one person saying, and I paraphrase, “it is just a matter of time before they strap explosives to themselves and….” Perhaps those words and too the words of the folks directed at me in this forum will affirm the word “rabid” as appropriate. For in this arena, amongst my fellow Americans, I am a fool, psychopath, troll, bully. I hope their choice of vindictive words speaks volumes about their values than any of the words I have chosen. And my living hell will continue because I receive so much hate from so many people living for their version of a god while I steadfastly continue in my dedication to improving the human condition on this planet. And I do so without fear of burning in hell, the consequence of not loving a bully who demands it.

    Why doesn’t the faculty of this school know that MSA is a MB organization? How can they call themselves educated if they are not familiar with this connection?

    It also tells me they are uneducated enough to be victims of claims of “Islamaphobia” that MB uses to intimidate Americans into compliance. This is dangerous for their students.

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Apr 17, 2015 at 8:45 am

      Why doesn’t the faculty of this school know that MSA is a MB organization?

      Remember that South Park episode where the parents collectively buried their heads in the sand to avoid looking at the facts of Islam? That’s why. There’s always an aversion to bad news, like in the mid-1930s with Neville Chamberlain. Now, the U.S. is in an active alliance with the Mo-Bro-Hood, so even if they did know the MSA is a Hood operation, that’d be fine. The person slated to be our next president, Hillary, oversaw setting up our alliance with the Mo-Bro-Hood. She and her husband have received many tens of millions from Moslem governments and wealthy Moslem individuals.

      So first the teachers at the school would have to come to terms with reality.

      people are whining about this being a victory for “bigotry and intolerance”

      Turnspeak is the key concept in opinion programming in these times of media-driven fictive reality. The communists invented agitprop to goad the masses into ceding freedom by getting them worked up. But these are more modern times now, and what we’re seeing now I call somnoprop. Ignorance is bliss, and it’s everywhere when it comes to Moslems. Carefully crafted occlusion is enforced by the likes of the quote above: those who would retain their freedom are intolerant bigots, as if Moslems are akin to black Americans casting off Jim Crow under the leadership of MLK. Turnspeak.

    This is good news. Counter Islamist must be vigilant to this new tactic of the Islam appeasers. These “Try on the Hijab” Days have been done in Britain and Australia, as a way of softening up opposition to it’s public wearing in Western countries. Personally I don’t have a problem with a muslim wearing the hijab, even some women in Christian sects wear a head scarf. But don’t invite others to wear it. Particularly as it marginalizes the muslim women who have decided not the wear it, and often suffer because of that. At the end of the day it is a sign of submission to Islam. For Islamists to see non muslims wearing the hijab must be a heart warning sight as they know full submission is not far off.

    Congratulations to everyone who stopped this dishonest charade.

    I have no objection to a “hijab day” as long as full accuracy is observed, such as, requiring all girls to wear them or stay home on that day and there are assigned, “moral police”, at school who will beat them (gently) if so much as an ankle is showing.

    Many years ago I spent a year in Morocco. At that time there was no TV and little English spoken by the population as a whole. Now everywhere I look here in America I see muslims in traditional dress all throughout this state and many others too across this nation. Some of whom I’ve engaged in a little bit of the Arabic and French I remember from years ago and they STILL refer to Morocco as THEIR country.

    Quite obviously they have no desire to assimilate here in the US.

    If they don’t want to assimilate and embrace our English language and culture, I think they should be put on the next plane or boat and sent the hell back to where they immigrated from in the first place….and I would be only TOO GLAD to underwrite their ticket back. We dont want or NEED their ideals and ideas.

    • carpediadem says

      Apr 17, 2015 at 6:21 am

      Not every migrant who went to another country assimilated properly or learned the language.
      Italians in Australia for example. But since their culture consisted mainly of eating pasta and gelati, – apart from the local Mafia – and their lack of English, while sad for many ,affected mainly their work prospects, it wasn’t as threatening.
      Because they didn’t start life thinking they should be in charge of the world, and were not brought up that way, unlike many Muslims.

      The ONLY reason the above is threatening in the case of Muslims is because of Sharia and Jihad.
      As to the rest it is still possible to build a life. It’s not brilliant, and often difficult, but it can be done.,

        I think many of them couldn’t care less about the greasy muslims, although, they aren’t going to admit it. They are mostly concerned about their jobs (not that it’s any excuse for their behaviour). It’s because of the spineless “leadership” in the government, those who hobnob with the liberal elites and celebrities that western society is in this state. Those people are truly self-serving traitors and the root cause of what’s happening in our world.

      You’re using typical apples/oranges logic.

      Hijabs and sombrero/serapes have nothing to do with each other, in that people, women in particular, aren’t beaten and/or killed for not wearing a serape.

      And if I recall right, it’s liberals who accuse people who wear cultural costumes for Halloween like Sombreros and serapes or Native American attire, of being insensitive and racist.

    This is great news! Somehow these “wear a hijab” days feel more insiduous than anything else. I can almost understand “visit a mosque” day under certain circumstances. I visited a mosque next to my school just after it opened. I remember being told that Islam was ultimately peaceful and non-violent as well (which I took at face-value, I was only 14). The imam seemed nice. But hijab is something that really bothers me now I’ve learned about it. It tells me that men can’t control their sexual urges and that it’s up to women to defer to that by dressing “modestly”. It feels like a whole culture is thumbing its nose at me just for my gender and saying I can’t handle looking at hair or something. And more importantly the overall supression of women that it implies. I also see it as a sign of greater Islamification when I see more and more of them around so anything that curtails the hijab is fine by me. Well done everyone!

  13. Dan says

    Apr 17, 2015 at 7:42 am

    I’m not offended by her doing this.

    I’m annoyed because she’s not smart enough to realize the people who force their women to wear the hijab are way more numerous and FAR MORE DANGEROUS than those annoyed by someone wearing one.

    I have heard of some cases women being verbally abused, by racists and bigots because of wearing the hijab, and while most likely some women have been the victims of even worse, here at least they are so few and far between I’ve NEVER heard of one yet, and if there have been, it’s a 99% chance it was done by some complete stranger jerk.

    What I HAVE seen, and heard of, are plenty of cases of Muslim women being attacked and killed, not only by strangers but by their own family and friends for Pete’s sake, for NOT wearing the hijab.

    People who can’t understand this difference, simply can’t be that bright, and sadly, as a wise man once said, “There ain’t no cure for stupid.”

    Islam is the last thing we should be celebrating. Why?

    #1 18,000 deadly terror attacks committed explicitly in the name of Islam in just the last ten years.

    #2 Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or for criticizing his religion. This included women. Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad.

    #3 Muhammad said in many places that he has been “ordered by Allah to fight men until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger.” In the last nine years of his life, he ordered no less than 65 military campaigns to do exactly that. He inspired his men to war with the basest of motives, using captured loot, sex and a gluttonous paradise as incentives. He beheaded captives, enslaved children and raped women captured in battle. Again, Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad.

    #4 After Muhammad died, the people who lived with him and knew his religion best immediately fell into war with each other. Fatima’s husband Ali, who was the second convert to Islam and was raised like a son to Muhammad, fought a civil war against an army raised by Aisha, Muhammad’s favorite wife – and one whom he had said was a “perfect woman.” 10,000 Muslims were killed in a single battle waged less than 25 years after Muhammad’s death.

    Three of the first four Muslim rulers (caliphs) were murdered. All of them were among Muhammad’s closest companions. The third caliph was killed by allies of the son of the first (who was murdered by the fifth caliph a few years later, then wrapped in the skin of a dead donkey and burned). The fourth caliph (Ali) was stabbed to death after a bitter dispute with the fifth. The fifth caliph went on to poison one of Muhammad’s two favorite grandsons. The other grandson was later beheaded by the sixth caliph.

    The infighting and power struggles between Muhammad’s family members, closest companions and their children only intensified with time. Within 50 short years of Muhammad’s death, even the Kaaba, which had stood for centuries under pagan religion, lay in ruins from internal Muslim war…

    #5 Muhammad directed Muslims to wage war on other religions and bring them under submission to Islam. Within the first few decades following his death, his Arabian companions invaded and conquered Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Zoroastrian lands.
    A mere 25 years after Muhammad’s death, Muslim armies had captured land and people within the borders of over 28 modern countries outside of Saudi Arabia.

    #6 Muslims continued their Jihad against other religions for 1400 years, checked only by the ability of non-Muslims to defend themselves. To this day, not a week goes by that Islamic fundamentalists do not attempt to kill Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists explicitly in the name of Allah.
    None of these other religions are at war with each other.

    #7 Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by threatening to kill anyone who leaves. This is according to the example set by Muhammad.

    #8 Islam teaches that non-Muslims are less than fully human. Muhammad said that Muslims can be put to death for murder, but that a Muslim could never be put to death for killing a non-Muslim.

    #9 The Qur’an never once speaks of Allah’s love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of Allah’s cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times.

    #10 “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!”
    (The last words from the cockpit of Flight 93)

    You will not ever make my children to even “pretend” to support any of this crap.

    Victory! Mason High School principal cancels hijab event, apologizes

    Your calls and emails did this, Jihad Watch readers. Stand up and take a bow…
    ……………………………….

    Excellent to hear some good news for once! Kudos to everyone who protested.

    More:

    …for Aqsa Parvez and all the other women and girls who have been brutalized and murdered for not wearing hijab.
    ……………………………….

    Yes—we must never forget. And this is what pious Muslims have in store for *all* these girls if we not resist now.

    More:

    On this Facebook thread, people are whining about this being a victory for “bigotry and intolerance,” but of course it is no such thing.
    ……………………………….

    Of course it isn’t—this doesn’t prevent Muslim women from wearing the supremacist slave rag. It just stops them from using our schools to spread this.

    More:

    “This (previous) communication should not have come from our Student Activities Department because this was a student-led initiative…
    ……………………………….

    “Student led”—right. Instead, this was ginned up by the foul Muslim Brotherhood backed MSA.

    I knew the MSA was embedded in universities, but this is the first I had heard about their having wormed their way into high schools. Very disturbing.

    More:

    As part of the MSA’s Covered Girl Challenge, female students were to be asked to consider wearing a hijab, or a traditional Muslim woman’s headdress, during the April 23 school day, according to the initial email. The event was to have been voluntary.
    ……………………………….

    I believe stalwart Jihad Waters rose to the “Covered Girl Challenge”, all right…

    And “voluntary—was wearing the Hijab for Aqsa Parvez and other Muslim girls?

    More:

    On JihadWatch, comments ranged from criticism of Mason City Schools employees for allowing the event, to claims that the Mason High School Muslim Student Association has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.…

    This is, of course, utter nonsense, and Patrick Brennan of the Cincinnati Enquirer of course made no attempt to contact me. What I pointed out was the readily demonstrable fact that the MSA was a Muslim Brotherhood organization. Did I say that the children in its Mason High School chapter were Brotherhood operatives? Of course not.
    ……………………………….

    Yes—this is utterly misleading, and intended to smear Jihad Watch and others concerned about Muslim supremacy. Shameful.

    Here’s more on the supremacist MSA:

    Disturbing stuff.

    So, if there’s to be a religious tolerance event of some kind, it has to be concurrent with religious tolerance events for all other religions?

    There is no need for a Christian tolerance event at Mason High School. I’m from the next town over and Christianity is doing really well around these parts. Islam, not so much. As someone with satanist leanings, I’m inclined to beliebe there should be a “do as thou wilt” day. I noticed you didn’t mention my dark lord and savior in your list of religions to be celebrated and tolerated. I’m offended.

    Also, (public) hatred of Buddhism or Judaism isn’t prevalent these days. This “covered girl challenge” was an ill conceived way to drive tolerance of Muslims in an area known for its love of catholic festivals and country music. I get why Islam was chosen as the subject of a religious tolerance event. It’s simply ludicrous to suggest that you need to represent all religions when there is one in particular that’s the target of vitriol and fear. THAT religion should be the subject of particular attention, maybe not in a public school.

      @Arthur
      You may be unacquainted with the core texts of Islam. As an unbeliever, you might consider taking a look at what Islamic believers’ trilogy directs them to practice toward you.

      My concern with the promotion of “A Covered Girl Challenge” is not about equal time for all religions–yours included. Rather my concern is the focus on promoting toleration of the political ideology of Islam under the guise of religious or cultural tolerance.

      You sound reasonable. Perhaps you might look at the factual analysis of the texts that constitute Islam as presented by Dr. Bill Warner via PoliticalIslam.com. His statistics indicate that up to 80% of the core texts are directives for unbelievers–you and me.

    Muslim Student Association? In American public schools? Are you frickin serious? Do they meet at.at the same time as the Christian Student Association? Oh, that’s right, this is America and that’s not allowed. Advise these kids that they are in the United States of America. Their parents chose to be here and raise their children here for a reason. That reason is not because it was better where they came from. You don’t move a white Christian girl to Afghanistan and think you’re going to change their country or culture. Don’t try it here. Fit in or fall out.

    Good for the principal, although the judgement to let such a thing happen is about what I’d expect from an employee in our stellar public indoctrination, er, school system.

    All of this Islamic infiltration of our ( free, non muslim, dar al harm world ) country is financed by a long time enemy, Saudi Arabia.Unfortunately many people in America will sell out their country for a little oil money to grease their palms. Islam has been at war,on and off,against Western Civilization since some 3-400 years BEFORE the first Christian Crusade.The Muslims,starting in what is now Saudi Arabia,conquered all the way to France and the Mediterranean islands and into Greece,the Caucasus,Persia and India.All of those countries were non Islamic faiths.At the point of the sword they were forced to become muslims,become almost slaves,slaves or die.I invite skeptics to just research Islam’s conquests to see what they did to those they conquered.One way that they kept up the strength of their invading armies was to take the male children and young men of the conquered peoples and turn them into Islamic soldiers.Even the bloodthirsty Mongolian hordes hated the jihadis for their extreme cruelty.The American people who learn of todays revised history of America and western Civilization ( white people history ) are led to believe that anyone who fights white people countries must be the good guys.Of course these idiots will have their heads chopped of just as readily as a white Christian.They will kill all faiths and all peoples who will not convert and submit to Islam.Comming to a school near you via CAIR,the Muslim Brotherhood.Saudi Arabia and the White House.

    These “teachers” are all liberal nutjobs. Embracing a “religion” that condones killing and rape is no way to “teach” children.

    Thank you so much for bringing this event to the public’s attention. Without this very first article about the event, it would never have gotten the nations attention, and would never have been cancelled. Without this article we would have never been able to touch as many people as we did. Today we passed out coexist stickers so people could show their support for our cause to promote diversity among the student body. We passed out a total of 1200 stickers with many still wanting more. The support we have received has been inspiring and the turnout to both of our meetings this week have exceeded all expectations. So we truly do thank you, Robert Spencer and all of the parents who sent us emails, from the bottoms of our hearts, because without you we never would have been able to set something this big in motion. Without you we never would have known how much support we had. Without you all of those people who didn’t care would never have wondered why someone would cancel something so seemingly harmless. Without you none of this would have happened. So thank you.
