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

Islamic State bans burqa for security reasons

Sep 6, 2016 12:01 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

UPDATE: This story turns out to have been Iranian disinformation. Our source below did not note the Iranian provenance of its information.

———-

Well, the Islamic State has demonstrated that it is much smarter a group than Western leftists. They showed up every leftist supporter of the burqa by banning it for security reasons.

Another blow to burqa supporters who think they are “defending” women’s rights:

Women who have not worn conservative Islamic garments that cover their bodies or eyes have been beaten or killed in Syria and Iraq by ISIS’s “morality police.”

And it is not only the Islamic State that opposes women for not wearing the burqa, a symbol of female subjugation and oppression. Deliverance from the burqa drew celebration among Muslim women in Syria last month:

Last month, after the liberation of Manbij in Syria, women were seen burning burkas in celebration.

IS burka ban

Pictured are women in niqabs, which are far more common in the West than actual burqas, and are often confused with them. When the Western press and Western officials speak of the burqa, they usually are referring primarily to the niqab, as well as to the burqa itself. “Bye bye burka: ISIS bans burka in Iraqi city after killings by veiled women”, Jerusalem Post, September 5, 2016:

The so-called Islamic State terror group has allegedly banned women from wearing the burka at security centers in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul despite harsh enforcement of a law requiring them to be worn, according to the UK’s Daily Mail.

Following the murders of several commanders of the terror group by veiled women, the group has purportedly banned females from entering buildings in the city while wearing the full-body covering.

Women who have not worn conservative Islamic garments that cover their bodies or eyes have been beaten or killed in Syria and Iraq by ISIS’s “morality police.” …..

It is understood that women in the rest of Mosul and all other areas controlled by ISIS will still have to abide by the veiled dress code.

Last month, after the liberation of Manbij in Syria, women were seen burning burkas in celebration.

Manjib was a strategic city that served as a transit for foreign jihadists and its liberation by Syrian and Kurdish forces came as a blow to the terror group.

    According to cross-dressing hadith

    Muhammad wore Aisha’s knickers and niqab when conducting jihad.
    He said he did it for receiving revelations.
    Muhammad did not die in battle.
    He was poisoned by a sex-slave women.

        Mohammad wearing Aisha’s clothes! We have to laugh at it. Either Aisha was really a big hefty girl, or Muhammad was a little fellow.

    • Shane says

      Yes, the slave was Jewish and wanted revenge of Mo for killing her family. Maybe this is the reason muslims hate Jews more than any other people.

    Muslim women are very discrete.
    They have to be.

    All Muslim women cheat on their husbands despite the huge risk.
    The misery and emptiness of Islam drives them to such despair that that they gladly take the risk. They fantasize endlessly about wild crazy sex with infidel men and then act out their secret sexual fetishes with uninhibited infidels in secret rendezvous’ while dressed in high heels and short skirts only to later put on their Islamic tent suit and practice lowering their eyes in the mirror so as to not draw suspicion with Western behavior. That is why Muslim men guard Muslimas like sex-slave property.

    Whose the (infidel) daddy?

    • David says

      Sep 6, 2016 at 1:11 pm

      “The misery and emptiness of islam…” That’s very descriptive and apt. From my understanding lovemaking by islamic “men” is simply “slam, bam, thank-you m’am.” There is no romance or foreplay involved. The myth of Valentino and his sheik of the burning sands just that. I can ask how many western men would want a woman who has been surgically altered by FGM, but from observation of the depravity of the modern world, there is probably a club for them somewhere.

        A Muslim to say ” thank you” to a woman? Probably went to a western college or university and got some ( not much) in the way of manners.

      Oh they have…..

      Islam IS a totalitarian political ideology, government.

      They make up the rules to fit their…. “Religion of Peace”

      If their “membership” is being killed by folks dressed up in clown suits, guess what…..

      No more clown suits.

  4. John Marst says

    Sep 6, 2016 at 1:17 pm

    The absurd also has become even more bizarre. Leftists insist Islamic women are free to wear whatever they like, that the burqa can be seen as a profound sign of respect bordering on reverence for women, and then the Islamic State, the purest of all true believers, rejects the female body bag on security grounds.

    It is truly a weird world in which the Islamic State demonstrates common sense and even a certain quality of honesty deluded Westerners lack. At what point does the mind begin to disintegrate under the weight of cognitive dissonance?

    Oh the irony. How often do devout muslims make statements in complete agreement with “Islamophobes”. Which raises the question: can muslims themselves be “Islamophobes”? The answer is clearly YES!!

    The vast majority of people here in the UK are “Islamophobes”:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwWiPm-D2Jc

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/aug/02/poll-islam-negative-britain

    That second poll, by the way, was from some years ago, and the percentage will be much higher now.

    All this just proves that Islam is finally turning in on itself, and imploding, as predicted by Muhammad himself:

      • Peter Buckley says

        Sep 6, 2016 at 2:44 pm

        Indeed. Though there seem to be a lot of JW readers who STILL don’t believe Islam is collapsing, even though muslims themselves admit it:

        • Unknown says

          Sep 7, 2016 at 1:48 am

          This is what I always said… Any person can wear a burka and do whatever he/she likes and no one will ever recognise him/her. Even IS are smarter than our leaders (Leftist really deserves to be called Leftards).

        • Unknown says

          Sep 7, 2016 at 1:53 am

          Islam has always been violent, but nowadays we have internet, information. And it is trying to fulfill their dream on conquesting the West. But, it is already collapsing so it won’t last, hopefully, But some Christian believe that the antiChrist will be the Madhi. Well, in my opinion, no would trust a leader that comes from Islam, at least not a civilized society.

    Every morning when I go to my work in Utrecht I can spot a number of girls on bikes going to school, veiled with niqabs. And an additional number of women in their thirties, completely covered in black, looking like a retired nun, wearing a black niqab. Although the girls look cheerful, they will only be walking or talking to other veiled girls. I wonder what their outlook is in the job department or in the study department. In the university where I teach I hardly see any girls at all – which is bad enough – but certainly no niqabs. I really wish those girls well, I hope that they get the chance some day, to study and blossom in a way they deserve instead of being sent into an early marriage or a position where they will be looking like the older nuns soon.

      I had mentioned this before. Frequently, (on my way to or from my office) I pass an elementary school, when students are leaving. Often, there is a Muslim woman, wearing the headgear and rags on her head, with one, two or three little children.

      AND SHE IS USUALLY WEARING SKIN TIGHT JEANS, THAT LOOK PAINTED ON, and a thin t shirt. (This is Florida, usual weather- hot or just warm).

      Since the speed limit by the school is 15 miles per hour- but usually going much slower ( school buses; lots of cars-with people picking up their children), I have seen her- and from the rear-looks like she is commando.

      AND SHE HAS A GOOD BODY. ( hey, I am male; )

      Not very modest- but good to look at. a shame she is a Muslim

    This is one thing by ISIS that is commendable. Women don’t have to wear that stifling sack anymore.

    My relative went to work in Saudi Arabia once. The taxi driver pointed to the women in burqa and mentioned that a lot of the married ones cheat on their husbands under the cover of burqa . No one would dare lift the face covering to check.

      It isn’t really commendable, Marina. The Islamic State is not doing this for women–but just because they know there are too many (including men in disguise) who would don the Burqa and blow themselves up along with ISIS members.

    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Reminds me of a Tintin book where he and Captain Haddock wore niqabs to escape the local police. Really, how anyone fails to immediately see the security risk posed by people covering their whole body and face is beyond me.

    It’s hilarious that the Islamic State banned the burqa for security reasons.

    Maybe they will mandate that women wear latex catsuits with hoods to comply with their coverage requirements, yet reveal any weapons they may have under their clothing -?-

    What about burqas made of thin, transparent vinyl? I could totally see a new trend of Islamic/fetish fashion coming forth…

    But Koran 33. 59 tells Muslims to pull down their veils so they will not be MOLESTED by jihadists!

    Oh, the humanity! They are abandoning the law of Allah, therefore, the ISIS blasphemers must be executed!

  13. Oliver says

    Sep 6, 2016 at 5:02 pm

    now, if ISIS would get into a good battle, to the last person, with Hezbollah, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian military (hell, , Al Queida could join in- the more the merrier) and have the battle to end all battles- to the last person- but all sides could keep taking reinforcements.

    Have the battle in Iraq, or Syria or Lebanon, just have it.

    Deeply ironic move by the ISIS morons. The more interesting story though is who is this female (if in fact it is a female) assassin? this Zorro like character terrorizing their checkpoints.

    When it was proposed by the previous PM, Stephen Harper, to ban the burqa in Canada when dealing with the courts or government agencies, there were cries of islamophobia all over the country from media and from “feminists” who strongly support the opression of women. Now that ISIS bans the burqa, will there also be cries of islamophobia from the left?

  20. Mark A says

    Sep 7, 2016 at 3:05 pm

    The Islamic State can ban burkas for security reasons but yet Muslims complain if a western government tries to do the same.

    Interesting.

    Only banned from the inner city in Mosul when entering a building. All other Muslim women in other areas of Mosul must follow the shariah law (oppression) of keeping themselves covered.
    ISIS is going to die that is why operatives are attempting to spread Islam around the world. From 9/11 to now I really don’t have my hopes up for the ROP to actually be peaceful, we have to keep this disease in check.

    I was happy to hear that the niqab was used in an attack to kill ISIS commanders. Serves them right, delicious irony.
