Mocking the burka: an insult to Islam. Rape and murder threats against those who mock the burka: A-OK.
“Bosnian Reporter Threatened for Criticising Burka,” by Maja Garaca Djurdjevic, Balkan Insight, August 30, 2016:
After reporter Lejla Colak compared the wearing of the burka and niqab with the public display of sex toys, she received threats of murder and rape.
Bosnian journalist Lejla Colak told BIRN on Monday that she had received a series of threats of violence after criticising Islamic garments like the burka and niqab in a post she wrote on Facebook.
In her post on August 26, Colak, an atheist, compared wearing such garments in public to wearing a “strap-on dildo in the streets”.
“Religion should be intimate, just like sexuality. Keep it to yourself and the like-minded. Do not impose it on others,” Colak wrote.
After local Islamic news portal Saff.ba published criticism of her post, Colak began receiving threats via Facebook Messenger and in the comments section of the post.
“Are there any volunteers to rape lovely Lejla? … I will personally pay for it???” wrote one man, whose online profile says that he is a member of the Bosnian Army.
Two female social media users called for Colak to be run over by a car, soaked in petrol and burned.
Colak said she was prepared for negative comments and insults but did not foresee the threats she would receive.
“I am not afraid to express my views. I used an analogy awkwardly. I could have constructed it better. But I could not have assumed that it would lead to this,” the Sarajevo-based reporter told BIRN.
Since her initial post, she has apologised on Facebook for causing offence by mentioning a sex toy in connection with religion.
“I can apologise for the form but not for the content. Yes, religion (all of them) should be a private matter, yes, everything I have said I mean. Forgive me only for that piece of plastic with which I have hurt the feelings of the public,” she wrote….

Ah, the fabled islamic tolerance…
mortimer says
Yes, Obama lectured the world at the UN about how tolerant Islam is.
However, Koran 33.59 authorizes rape of women who are not veiled. The veil ‘identifies’ women as with a ‘DO NOT RAPE’ sign.
Koran 33.59 ‘identifies’ women not wearing a veil as ‘fair game’ for Muslim males. Sharia law has no punishment for the rape or murder of blasphemer.

Terrorism (from the book Islamic Apocalypse ;- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AS09LYW )
Recent news reports about the former head of Islamic State operations in Iraq say that he used to read the Koran with suicide bombers just before they went out on mission.
It sounds like it strengthens the resolve of terrorists, so what does the Koran truly say about this barbarism?
2:190 “Fight for the cause of Allah…”
2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them”
2:216 “Warfare is obligatory for you, even if you dislike it.”
2:244 “Fight for the cause of Allah…”
3:151 “We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who do not believe (in Islam).”
4:76 “Those who believe fight for the cause of Allah.”
4:95 “Allah has granted a higher rank to those who fight with their wealth over those who sit at home.”
4:101 “The non-Muslims are an open enemy to you…”
4:89, 4:91 “then take them and kill them wherever ye find them”
4:104 “Relent not in pursuit of the enemy.”
5:33 “…enemies of Allah…will be killed or crucified…or have their hands and feet cut off.”
7:4 “How many a town have we destroyed…our terror came upon them.”
8:1 “The spoils of war belong to Allah and His”
8:12 “instil terror into the hearts of the non-Muslims…then smite their necks…”
8:39 “Make war until… all religion is that of Allah”
8:41 “…ye take the spoils of war…if ye believe in Allah.”
8:60 “Make ready all thou canst of force…”
8:65 “O Prophet exhort the believers to battle…because the non-Muslims are a people without intelligence.”
8:67 “It is not… to have captives…till slaughter is made in the land.”
8:74 “Those who believed and left their homes behind to fight for the cause of Allah…these are true believers.”
9:5 “Kill the unbelievers wherever ye find them, take them, besiege them and lie in ambush for them everywhere.”
9:14 “Fight them, Allah will punish them at your hands.”
9:29 “Fight the non-Muslims…until they pay a (monetary) tribute with surrender.”
9:41 “Go forth, heavily or lightly armed…”
9:73 “Make war on the non-Muslims…”
9:111 “…believers… shall fight for the cause of Allah and so kill and be killed…”
9:123 “O ye who believe, fight those unbelievers who are near to you…”
25:14 “…pray for many destructions…”
25:52 “Do not listen to unbelievers, but fight forcefully against them.”
33:60, 61 “We verily shall urge thee on against them… Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter”
47:4 “When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks…and those who die fighting for the cause of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost.”
48:20 “Allah promises you much booty you will capture…”
48:29 “Those who follow Mohammed are merciless with disbelievers…”
60:4 “…having renounced you non-Muslims, enmity and hatred is between us forever…until ye believe in Allah.”
61:10-11 “O ye who believe. Shall I show you a covenant that will save you from a painful doom? Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger and should fight for the cause of Allah with all your wealth and with the lives of your people. This is best for you if you knew it.”
5:101 “Ask not questions about that which has been made plain…”
4:47 “The commands of Allah must be carried out!”
9:20 “Those who believe, have left their homes and used their wealth to fight for the cause…are of much greater worth… These…achieve Allah’s salvation.”
48:16 “Ye will be called…to fight…if ye turn away…He will punish you with a painful doom.”
69:41 “It (the Koran) is not poet’s speech.”
3:132, 4:59, 8:20 “Obey Allah…”
Wherever it says unbelievers or disbelievers that includes all non-Muslims and even other Muslims who don’t believe the same type of Islam.
So it seems as if the Islamic State is right about the Koran being the rationale for their reign of terror, including their recent attacks in Paris. Isn’t that a copy of the Koran in the hand of the suspected ringleader in those photos? Would this massacre have taken place if the Koran didn’t contain such violent commands?
And it is not just the Islamic State, the Muslim Brotherhood logo includes, under the Koran and crossed swords symbols, the phrase “Make Ready” which refers to verse 8:60;
“Make ready all you have of force… to terrorize the enemies of Allah (the infidels) …”
Even the regular obligatory five times a day Du’aa-e-Qunoot prayer ends with every Muslim declaring;
“torment is going to overtake the infidels”.
Berengaria says
Will we see Ms. Colak’s head on a Fence Post? The Bosnian Muslims, guests of Bill Clinton’s since 1990s, are second to Blacks in criminal pursuits in the US. Pimping, Extortion, etc., the Bosnian Muslims are True Sons of Drooling Bill.

And the MSM complains about Putin killing reporters. MSM template: Muslims good…Putin bad…Trump bad…Mexicans good….good Americans bad…bad Americans good.
Walter Sieruk says
Those Muslims making threats against this young women because they happened not to like something she said This only further exposes the violent prone Islamic mindset . That this is the way those Muslims chose to handle words ” they don’t like.” This also shows much about not only their intolerant and violent Islamic way of thinking.They also exposed an element of misogamy to them ..For are they doing ? They are picking on a girl. They are then nothing nothing the Muslim cowards . Would those same Muslims make threats of violence against a man who happened to have said something they happened “not to like.” ? By the way , I always keyboard my real name to all by criticism of the false and deadly religion that is Islam . Those same Muslim threatening that girl could look me up and come after me for make making stronger anti–Islam statements that she did. They will not .For they are cowards
Greyhound Fancier says
They certainly would threaten a man the same way – remember “The Satanic Verses”? The author was forced into hiding and hasn’t emerged since.
Custos Custodum says
The translator of Satanic Verses into Japanese was in fact brutally murdered, apparently by an Iranian “student.”
Johan says
When our “leaders” and gbmt officials ignore the Islam/murder connections they empower them to go further and further. This is only going to get worse. Obama, both Clintons and most all democrats and their media power axis are guilty as hell for allowing this to fester and grow.
Michael Laudahn says
We aren’t there yet, and presently we don’t know if we will get there at all. But if we make it, we must make sure this time to deislamify the Balkans again. And that is most of all Albania (and other albanian pockets like Kosovo) and Bosnia.
Johan Elzinga says
How about deislamify public life here in the Netherlands? Soon it will not be safe here for non-islamic women to enter parts of our city unveiled.
european says
Do not know who do you mean by we? If you mean the West, currently Western countries (especially UK and USA) are highly supportive of muslims in the Balkans (at the cost of nonmuslims). The court in Bosnia has made a ruling that Serbs in Bosnia cannot have St. Steven as their national day because it is offensive to muslims. Out of 9 judges 2 Serbs and 2 Croats voted in favor of the national day, whereas three international judges (voting based on US/UK/EU policy) voted against together with 2 muslm judges outvoted the Serbs and Croats at 5:4. Serbian entity government is planning to have a referendum to ask the people if they want that day as national day, but international representative (practically ruling over Bosnia and Herzegovina, cause it is a US protectorate) said that it would be destabilizing for the country.
Mazo says
All Albania and Albanian pockets? You are a genius.
We all knew the Albanian Mother Theresa as a devout follower of Islsm.
Mazo says
“We all knew the Albanian Mother Theresa as a devout follower of Islam”
Peggy says
Ah I see. Clutching to her again. She is your trump card. She loved Albanian so much that she wanted to be buried as far away as possible from there. So because of one Albanian, who didn’t even wanted to return dead, you want us to trust the rest.
BTW, she was born in Macedonia and was on Albanian stock.
Albanians are like weeds. Where ever you allow just a few, in a relatively short time they will take over.
Sure, not all Albanians are Muslim but in Kosovo they are, and the minority who are not Muslim support the Muslims so they might as well be.
Expat88 says
Once more this just proves how pathetically insecure Islam is as religion that cannot be mocked. Other faiths do not let negative comments affect them in any meaningful way and all is soon forgotten. But with Islam even a perceived slight is an affront to their fragile sensibilities. The poor little dears. The religion of perpetual outrage, indeed. It is exhausting and I hope the world will soon grow weary of the phony victimhood act.
Michael Copeland says
Add Lejla Colak’s name to that of Molly Norris.
Two victims of Islam’s Koran-sanctioned thuggery.
Rose says
She was rather, in a round-about way mocking Muslim men who, some of them, probably are always walking around thinking below the belt about any woman who is not covered in a sack. That might have made them extra mad (if that is possible).
Johan Elzinga says
The reaction of those scumbags proves that she is absolutely right. Obviously, this idiotic religious culture does not tolerate any criticism. I loath my own country for not stepping up towards this oppressive discriminating culture. The French are right to ban the burkini, at last some signal is given and a clear line has been drawn.
carol says
I too admire the French for standing up for the beautiful culture they have earned. It looks like Great Britain is trying as well. in the U.S. thank goodness there is Donald Trump to make people THINK about what the Clintons represent. ALL traces of this Islamic cult MUST surely be eradicated. It will never rest humbly next to any MINORITY population. Declare martial law or something and evict it quickly.
Mirren10 says
I do wish these journalists and others who have the courage to mock islam would have the still further courage **to stand by what they said**, instead of trying to weasel out of it.
”Ms Colak has since apologised for the wording of the article.
She said: “I can apologise for the form but not for the content. Yes, religion – all of them – should be a private matter.”
Yes, but you didn’t mention *all* religions in the original article, did you ? You were specifically referring to islam. So stick to your guns. There isn’t any other religion which demands women cover their heads/faces and threatens them with violence if they don’t.
”The reporter went on to say she was saddened that people with “different attitudes” to religion are made to feel “unwelcome” in Bosnia….”
This sounds to me as if she’s implying that those people with ”different attitudes” just might be mohammedans. If so, why is she ‘saddened’ ? If she was prepared to take the mickey out of the niqab/burka (and well done for that), why the about face ? Have some spine, and tell them all to get fcuked.
Wellington says
Seconding your comment, Mirren.
Mirren10 says
Cheers, Wellington ! X
Jay Boo says
Have some spine???
Why — Yes in deedy
Key Board Warrior Miirren10 is much braver than that lady.
Yes, Maja Garaca Djurdjevic is surrounded by Muslim maniacs and out in the public eye, but M10 Anomalously says oh no — not I. For if Muslim Buster Rambo M10 had been their she would have clenched her fists and given each mocking Muslim a black-eye.
Jay Boo says
Anonymously
Mirren10 says
Not at all. If I was a journalist, and wrote such an article, I *would* stick to my guns. Here’s a lady who did.

As for being a ‘keyboard warrior’, that’s rich, coming from someone who approves of a sharia banning of Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, has defended the murderer Anders Breivik, has asserted islam is not 100% evil, and regularly calumniates several commenters here (not just myself), whilst providing no links to comments to prove your spiteful animus.
Give it up, Jay Boo. You’re tedious.
Marblegranite says
Did this take place in a zero tolerance microaggression community coming to your neighbourhood soon?
George Bacon says
Let me guess Liberals also think these guys are not really Muslim.
No Islamic nation is really Muslim for Liberals. Just the figment of Islam they are fed by CAIR, and libe media.
Adrian says
No need to apologize for “that piece of plastic” on the heads of women…
Everyone knows Muhammed was a total dick-head, to say the least.
Rosemarie says
Women who cover are emphasizing that they’re female in a big way, and women who wear high heels and skirts do the same. No violence or violent speech should be heard either way. I hope no one is pressured to wear anything but what is comfortable and practical in any situation.

………………………….
What rot. No one is being threatened with death for criticizing women wearing skirts or high heels. Would that were true of the Burqa..
Michael says
This is the reality of islam and it’s followers, particularly coming from islamic states. How could she be so naive as both a reporter and from a predominantly moslem country to think she could criticize even islamic attire.
They(followers of islam) will accept no criticism – ever – at the expense of violence, rape, murder and to save their perceived honour. To lose face in their world is worse than any punishment on earth.
Many in our west and our leaders( not all) fail to understand that to our detriment and to the detriment of our children who will inherit the wasteland of our progressive immigration policies and political correctness. Islamic countries would never accept us or allow multiculturalism. The people we are importing do not and will not accept anything other than their supremacist vision of society where they(moslems) are at the top and we, the “kuffar” non-believers, are to be enslaved, raped and killed on demand.
This man(ex-moslem) says it all:

kangi_nunpa says
Pretty OT, and it’s old, but I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hth0YiPhcCE of a Bahraini women’s rights activist, and she’s awesome.
The guy interviewing her gets exactly /nothing/ in concessions. It’s very refreshing to see a mozlem man be so entirely dismissed – especially by a woman. Who doesn’t wear hijab. Who so clearly doesn’t give a damn about his opinions – or anyone else’s.
Westman says
Now there is an honest Muslima who cares about the plight of Muslim women!
