This is great. Today Leftist women all over Europe and North America can signal their virtue. But where is their concern for Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it? Or Aqsa and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab? Or the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; or Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; or Amira Osman Hamid, who faced whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; or the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized for her family for refusing to wear the hijab; or 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; or the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab; or the women also in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; or the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; or the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; or the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; or the women in Iran who protested against the regime by daring to take off their legally-required hijab; or the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab; or the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents; or the fifteen girls in Saudi Arabia who were killed when the religious police wouldn’t let them leave their burning school building because they had taken off their hijabs in their all-female environment; or all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab?
Who is standing in solidarity with them? Those who taunt or brutalize hijab-wearing women are louts and creeps, and should be prosecuted if they commit any acts of violence. At the same time, the women who don’t wear hijab in Muslim countries are far more likely to be victims of violence than hijabis in the West. Who speaks for them?
“What is the hijab? Non-Muslim women asked to wear the hijab for World Hijab Day TODAY,” by Alice Foster, Express, February 1, 2017:
WOMEN of all faiths around the world are being asked to wear the hijab in solidarity with Muslim women on World Hijab Day today….
The organisers of World Hijab Day (WHD) are asking women of all faiths to wear a hijab in solidarity with Muslim women on February 1.
New Yorker Nazma Khan started the global movement five years ago by asking women around the world to wear the hijab for the day in 2013.
Ms Khan said: “I thought If I could invite women of all faiths – Muslim and non-Muslim – to walk in my shoes just for one day, perhaps things would change.”
This year women are being asked to post a photo of themselves wearing a headscarf on social media using the hashtag #iStand4Hijab.
The organisers say: “The overall mission of WHD is to create a more peaceful world where global citizens respect each other.
“Particularly, WHD focuses on fighting bigotry, discrimination, and prejudice against Muslim women.
“This is most crucial in these times where Hijab is being banned in some countries while in other countries, Muslim women are being targeted and harassed verbally and physically.” …

My friend Hijab, turban are their uniforms it’s a sign of islamisms. 30 years ago there was no hijab in Turkey. They created this uniform in lebanon and now it is almost compulsory. If you look at the situation in Turkey if you wear hijab you can find job in government if you don’t no chance.
It is a uniform to separate believers from nonbelievers. We are trapped with this ideology..
Guest says
“and now it is almost compulsory.” – as it will be in certain PC circles soon. If you don’t post that picture of yourself in a hijab, you’ll be considered racist.
EmHotep says
Yes we need to stop this for the well being of normal human population. I hope they will realise soon.

Compare that with the reaction of women and minorities that are allegedly fearing for their lives since Trump was elected. They took to the streets, marching and rioting. I guess that’s the difference between saying you’re afraid as a means to an end an being genuinely afraid.
PRCS says
Or on turkeys.

Exactly my experience, I can not believe hijab is being promoted and western fools are falling for it. You could not work for the government if you wore hijab 3 – 4 decades ago in Turkey, Ataturk must be turning in his grave.

I have not visited Turkey, either–it was not my intention to be misleading.
What I should have said is that when I was a child in the 1960s and ’70s one almost never saw Hijabs in pictures or film from Turkey–even when the photographer was clearly looking for “colorful” images. It just was very uncommon then.
It was, I believe, during the 1980s and 1990s when this began to change. Turks like EmHotep, I’m sure, have much more information from on the ground.

Emhotep, I feel for the secular Turks, and other faiths hanging on by a thread with that Islamic government!! I am sure hijabs will be demanded of all women in Turkey before long!!
Ataturk, where are you?? Oh, that’s right, your military tried to over throw that dictator, and were shut down.. Thousands have just disappeared, and Obama, he supported Erdogen. SAD day!!
Hoping President Trump will put the screws to Turkey, and give some home to secular Turkey. One thing I would suggest when you finally get your Ataturk government back, get that flag changed.. Not wise to show Islamic symbols on the flag..Gives the nuts an excuse to say Turkey is Islamic.
Anne Smith says
Well if Obama was a Muslim, as is becoming more and more apparent, he would support Erdogan who is dragging Turkey back to the Ottoman past as fast as he is able.
EmHotep says
Hello Harris, I’ve lost the track of our first conversation, so it’s good to see you here. The situation in Turkey is extremely complex. The coup was planned and executed by a group called Fethullah movement not by the real Ataturk soldiers. Fethullah and Erdogan were friends until 2013 and they had a big fight over money/profits and became enemies.
So Ataturk supporters are now waking up and we can see new developments very soon and this time no one can stop us.
When everything is over I will send you 1 Van Cat, I also have cats but they are tabbies. 🙂

Yes, EmHotep. And this is Islamist vs. Islamist–or as we say here in the States, “Alien vs. Predator” (after a bad science fiction movie featuring two evils going head to head)–in other words, there is no one for good people to root for in such a situation.

https://youtu.be/5GFKpU6a8rM
EmHotep says
I have watch it, excellent video. Feminism and islam are two opposite sides. In islam woman is the second class, there is a saying in Turkish ” horses, woman and weapons ” . Woman comes after horses 🙂
Our Ataturk tried so hard to get rid of islamists, but they are like cancer cells, by using taqiyya they hid themselves.
Watch them until they reach to enough numbers, they will first rape the feminists 🙂
I hope you will be able to be successful in defending your country and please do not forget islam is holding back the whole world against enlightenment.. It’s a tumor in the world.
Brandy says
IT is complete crap that this is posted in any national news as its offensive to those of us who are not muslim. IF you want to be tolerant of this nonsense and support it that is on you but we do not wish to see it. It has nothing to do with racism but national security… with them its their way or no way. I will NOT BE BULLIED not by my shitty Prime Minister who is obviously a Misogynist and not by Islam. They can both fuck off. CONSTANTLY ramming this shit down our throats. Enough is enough. I cannot and will not support a religion that is based on a 53 year old pervert marrying and having sex with 9 year olds. Why is this ok to everyone? I also will not support the beating of women. I have been in violent relationships in the past and left them for a reason…… not to have them reimposed on my by my government and media!
somehistory says
I believe it says a lot that they do not put *the* in front of their ugly word for scarf…because it means something besides just wearing a scarf.
It’s like oppression, or other similar words that don’t need a qualifier. It isn’t just a scarf, but a symbol of the male moslims subjugation of the all not like him…including all women, even those who pretend that it is nice, and protective of their virtue.
The word itself makes me nauseous. Much like the word islam, and mosque, and all the other words having to do with this vile cult.
Guest says
Good point.
abad says
More like covering up their innate Muslim guilt.
Well guess what.
NO amount of covering up of guilt via a hijab will gain them heaven.
Only the blood of Jesus Christ, acceptance of His paying the final price for one’s sins including guilt, will allow them to enter heaven.
But keep deluding yourselves about wearing hijab, Muslim ladies.

World Hijab Day: Non-Muslim women asked to wear hijab today in solidarity with Muslim women
………………………..
How that hell would this work? My family is not going to murder me if I don’t wear Hijab, nor is my community.
Of course, the implication is that women who wear Hijab will instantly run into large amounts of “Islamophobia”–but this has not been borne out at all.
Lesley says
What about a, “Take Off Your Hijab Day?”
If wearing a Hijab is such a “choice” then why don’t Muslimas take a day to leave theirs at home in solidarity with the women of all faiths who don’t wear it, in our countries they’ve made it a point to move to?
Western born converts to Islam can also go without, to show their unity with their native host culture.
billybob says
Excellent idea! Somebody’s got to try to promote that “Take off your hijab day”. Walk a mile in my shoes. See the world from the perspective of the other side. Show you empathy with others as your religion supposedly teaches you. (I know it doesn’t, but all the Muslims will tell you it does. Of course, they will just as quickly tell you whatever they think you want to hear.)
A Harris USA says
Billy bob, just a note, as a female. At 66 years of age, no one wants to seem me in a mini skirt, or bikini, but if I were 40 years younger, I’d sure make a point on that day.. Hoping it is warm enough in San Diego, I will wear my shorts on that day!!! LOL
gravenimage says
But this is the whole point, A Harris–in the free West, we wear what we want. Many Muslims pretend that Western women are forced to dress in a revealing manner, which is of course utter bullsh*t.
TrueUSA says
My thought is if you live in America you need to learn English and assimilate to our ways. If you don’t like American ways then you should be in a place want to be like. As American I don’t want sharia law to happen here. Wearing a hijab even for 1 day scares me because they have you take a baby step and before we know it America is no more. I say no way. You come here to get away from your war torn country to live better. Then live the American way or leave.

Hi Graven (&others),
Go to: http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/761834/Theresa-May-rules-out-burka-ban-UK-hijab-face-veils
Read the article, and also watch the few second video, and listen to what May has to say about immigration…. Wonder if Trump will listen to that, or if he ever hears it. Listen also to the video that follows hers, the AfD scares even in Britain with its anti-immigration views – and its election successes.
Immigration into the UK will continue, obviously after Brexit too, if Brexit ever happens. Immigration, except for eastern European Christians. Apart from that, remember those ‘refugees are welcome’ posters on the train station and left wing (anarchist/68er) protest movements? T May: “Refugees are welcome!” In parliament. Just listen to her. Also, there’s an “interesting slide show” about Burkas in Europe, the last picture from Albania is a tell tale.
Graven, dear Lady, do you remember we once had very diverging figures on the number of aliens in the UK? I said there were about 3.5 million in the mid seventies, but couldn’t recall where I read back then. That was against the current (2016) official figure of 3 million. Well, go to: (http [:] {//}) express.co.uk/news/uk/396390/Migrants-change-UK-forever-White-Britons-will-be-in-minority-by-2066
An article by a Prof Coleman. According to the data he has analysed the number of aliens in the UK is 20%! With a current population of ~65 million that means (DRUMROLL!!!!) 13 million non-Europeans! Yes, the UK has the highest number. A bit of a difference to what the gov published last year, proclaiming 3 million… As I sarcastically posted then, 0.5 million have disappeared. Believe me, it gives me not the slightest joy to point that out.
Graven, you are too trusting.
I wonder about two things, what’s the *real * situation in the US. And what on earth is Trump thinking in reference to her? Flabbergasting.
concern citizen says
By not placing a ban for burkas, this makes it harder for people who are deaf and hard of hearing to communicate with them. I’m curious on what do the deaf and hard of hearing population in the muslim world do. Anyone know the answer for this?
Anne Smith says
If they are women who cares?
Peggy says
Deaf or not deaf all the women have learned to interpret signals coming from men.
If they haven’t, there is always a beating to help them learn so no need for ears.

concerned citizen, the disabled are generally treated like crap in Dar-al-Islam. Much as I hate Niqabs and Burqas, their not being able to lip read is probably the least of their concerns.

Yes–I was heartened by the Brexit vote, but knew even if it was quickly implemented that it would only be a first step. After all, Britain has had Muslims flowing in for decades–predating the EU, in fact. If Britain continues the same suicidal policies, then it will not matter whether she has left the EU or not.

Yes, I remember that exchange, DFD. But no–with respect, I don’t believe that relying whenever possible on solid figures from reputable sources–more than one, whenever possible–makes me trusting. Just the opposite, in fact–I like to verify data whenever I can.
As for the article you link to–which is indeed alarming–several things: firstly, Coleman does not say that the number of aliens in the UK is 20% now, but that it will be by 2040 if trends continue.
And then, there are several different issues; immigrants in toto; non-European immigrants; and *Muslims*.
Britain would still change culturally with a large influx of, say, Polish Catholics–but the value systems are close enough that she would not *be destroyed*. If most of the immigrants are Muslims, of course, that is a very different matter.
Britain should not be letting in such huge numbers, in any case–and those from outside Europe are a bigger concern, and Muslims most of all.
Of course, Britain need not continue on this mad path–even assuming Coleman’s alarming numbers are correct, Britain *can* change this if enough patriotic Britons act.
The same is true with the rest of Europe.
But the demographic Jihad *is* a very serious matter–I would never make light of it. For instance, I am worried that even if Israel stands firm that she might be destroyed in a few decades by her growing infestation of fast-breeding Mohammedans.
More:

………………………
I think there are two things going on here–one that mitigates Trump reaching out to May.
That is that Obama snubbed Britain–America’s closest ally–for eight years, beginning with his sending back the bust of Winston Churchill. Trump vowed that he would not do that, and on that I applaud him.
The problem is that that means dealing with the repugnant, unelected Theresa May. If President Trump is reaching out to Theresa May as the Prime Minister of Britain, I support him.
If he hopes to find a genuine ally in the idiotic Theresa May herself, he is apt to be terribly disappointed. Hope that makes sense.
Thank you again for the links.

Yes, I remember reading that. Even though it was obvious that native Dutch women did not wear headscarves and that Dutch men behaved in a perfectly decent manner, Ali had been so indoctrinated that she could not help but believe on some level that men would go insane if they saw her hair. Soon she fully realized that she was living in in the civilized world, though.

Today I will rip a page with misogynistic passages out of the Koran I keep on hand for defacing purposes. I will grind it into the ground with my dirty shoe to show solidarity with victims of Islamic misogyny and violence, and with women trapped under the veil who are not free to say what they really think about Islamic ideology or its inventor. Then I will use that page to line my cat’s liter box.

I’m against sharia because I’m for equal rights for women, for gay rights, for freedom of speech. So should all liberals be.

Welcome Guest, you’re in good company. Certainly some posters here are more to the right but there’s many of us who consider liberal values of utmost importance, beyond left/right labeling. If Keith Ellison is made head of the DNC however I’m not going to be in the closet about my rejection of the Democratic Party! As a woman with lots of gay friends and family I’m going to be very vocal about rejecting the bull crap of that.
Wellington says
Speaking in the aggregate, Gen Jones, the greatest defenders of freedom in today’s America, in today’s West, will be found overwhelmingly on the Right. When was the last time a liberal speaker was shouted down by those on the Right? When was the last time a right-wing mob engaged in violence? Virtually without exception the shutting down of freedom is coming from two sources; 1) Muslims; 2) the Left.
The real liberals of today, the true liberals of our era, are conservatives. I’m one of them.
Angemon says
Wellington posted:
“The real liberals of today, the true liberals of our era, are conservatives. I’m one of them.”
Same here. In addition to that, being conservative is the new counter-culture, so there’s also the added attraction value of rebelliousness for the younger folks.
gravenimage says
This is true, Wellington–those defending the rights of women, of gays, and championing freedom of speech these days are almost all conservatives.
You have noted before that I am probably somewhat more liberal than yourself; but these days I find myself a conservative. I am also a patriotic American; there are all too few of those on the left at this point.

common sense says
What a joke I work with Muslim women who wont wear “that thing”. I guess they are more American than Muslim which might mean they are not Muslim at all according to Muslim males that “lightly beat their wives when necessary”.
In fact unless your a fundamental Muslim we are all more American than Obama is or ever was since he’d choose Islam over America in his own words which he relentlessly demonstrated time and again.
A Lee says
Is Obama practicing taqiyya (sp)? He says he isn’t, but I can understand why some Americans think Obama might be a secret Muslim. As you yourself noted, he has relentlessly demonstrated this time and again.
revereridesagain says
Damn, I missed it. I swear I would have gone out of my way looking for women wearing hijab to sneer, glare, snarl, and laugh at. And perhaps ask if they also intended to “have the surgical procedure done” just for the look on their faces as they try to figure that one out. Because 99.9% of them don’t have a clue about how women and girls are actually treated in Islam. (They, and other more sensible women, will get a little taste of it over the next few years as they begin to be forced to bear their rapist,s babies because some men and women with the power to makes such laws believe their “faith” requires it. Because whether vicious as Islam or “benign” as Christianity, religionists just can’t resist the urge to force their irrational beliefs upon others.)
TrueUSA says
If the abortionist planned parenthood and liberals would not have take the abortions legal all the way to 6,7,8,and even 9 months with all America paying for their playing. Then selling human parts to research. I believe it would not be such a horrific act to most of us. You know you are pregnant in the First 3 months. Why wait till your baby is formed and feels pain? I don’t get it. I often wonder are these the same people who are against animal abuse. Planned parenthood makes enough money. We should not have to give them millions more each year. Just sayin

Not gonna happen. Look at the new story Robert just posted about the Democrat that was tossed out of the race for DNC Chairman for criticizing Islam’s treatment of gays. I think this is one of the major issues with the cult of Islam and have never understood the Gay Rights solidarity with that cult. I think they are simply unaware or do not want to accept the ugly truth of it or, more likely, want to bury the truth.
gravenimage says
From my experience, they just don’t want to know. They want to believe that Muslims are vulnerable, like all minorities–that they present a threat to gays and every other Infidel is not something that most of them want to think about at all. There are a few exceptions, and a few staunch Anti-Jihadist Gays–but they are all too rare.

I also read in a Pakistani newspaper that a grade school for girls caught on fire and the police formed a barricade around the school and would not rescue the girls because they did not have hijabs on . family members have killed and are killing females who refuse to cover their heads . I for one am not going to encourage such ruthlessness by putting the cover on my head in supposed solidarity with muslim women . educate yourself on the reality .

“Nazma Khan says: “I thought If I could invite women of all faiths – Muslim and non-Muslim – to walk in my shoes just for one day, perhaps things would change… This is most crucial in these times where Hijab is being banned in some countries while in other countries, Muslim women are being targeted and harassed verbally and physically.”….
No, WHD does not “focus on fighting bigotry, discrimination, and prejudice against Muslim women.” WHD REINFORCES the “bigotry, discrimination, and prejudice OF Muslim women” by for some reason expecting them to ‘walk in their shoes (no thanks!) and attempting to promote their self-image as being somehow ‘special’ as we all (apparently) have to pay special respects to them and abandon our own cultural standards and pay homage to them. And what exactly is supposed to change? Muslim women are by and large NOT being ‘harassed verbally and physically’ in non-muslim countries. Perhaps they feel they OUGHT to be ‘harassed verbally and physically’ in such places given their behaviour and attitudes, and there would be some crude justification for that in that they openly and insolently flout the customs and sensitivities of their long-suffering hosts, and they ARE aware that they are doing just that! If they are indeed being ‘harassed verbally and physically’ at all, it is more likely to be in their own muslim societies, where that sort of thing is prescribed in islamic Holy Writ.
So. Ms. Kahn, no. We don’t want to ‘walk in your shoes’. Why don’t you try ‘walking in OUR shoes’ instead? Or has that idea not occurred to you? Beneath your dignity, or something? And if you feel things really are that bad in areas that don’t belong to you, why not put on your shoes and walk back to somewhere more to your liking?
Richard Paulsen says
How come they can be allowed to propagate for islam in Non muslim nations? Try to sell a Bible in Qatar, Saudi-Arabia, Iran, Iraq. Palestine, Afghanistan or Pakistan or propagate for Christian beliefs there.
A ” Throw your hijab away and think in other way day ” sould be considered.
They should never have been allowed to enter a non-Muslim country dressed in islamic clothes, demanding islam.
A woman is not allowed to leave a Muslim country in order to leave the Islamic faith and laws. Not allowed to criticize Islam and their Islamic regimes.
Srange they are being allowed to spread in U.S.A. and other civilized countries.
A Lee says
Muslims have lived in this community for years. Even when I started seeing a few hijabs and burqas in the 1990s, it didn’t bother me at the time. The Muslim families were peaceful. In fact, some of them were good neighbors who kept to themselves and harmed no one. The last 10-15 years, though, I see them everywhere in urban areas and near college campuses. It’s kind of unsettling.
It’s supposed to be a religious garb, but lately it seems more live a Comrade’s scarf from a totalitarian society.

“It’s supposed to be a religious garb, but lately it seems more live a Comrade’s scarf from a totalitarian society.”

“It’s supposed to be a religious garb, but lately it seems more live a Comrade’s scarf from a totalitarian society.”
“like a Comrade’s scarf”.
Or like a Swastika armband.
Yes.
You are completely correct.
That is one of the things that it is. Gang Uniform, the flag and colours of the Allah Gang, the Mohammedan Mob.
No different from the Black Flag of Jihad.

SadCanadian says
Wow, Amen to this woman. She just sums it all up in a nutshell. Anyone who can watch this and still spout off their ridiculous comments to protect this ideology is insane and a stain on humanity. Anybody who condones the garbage that is spread under the falsehood of religion is guilty of the suffering it is causing by association. It is sickening, it is inhumane and utterly heartbreaking. Why does nobody care about the people that are really suffering anymore. Instead our news is flooded with muslim refugees in Europe and Canada whining about not getting enough. Everyone cares more about being politically correct rather than admitting the real problem and addressing the real issues. And people are truly suffering at the hands of their own “religion” they believe in. And we are expected to give them whatever they want because they might throw a tantrum. People that spread hate will never, ever be happy. You can give them everything and they will still continue to be miserable. So when does it end? When will we realize that the problem isn’t us. The problem is in the mind of people who feed off of hate and violence. The problem is in the mind of people who think they have the right to harm others just to satisfy their self serving needs. It is sickening. Where is the humanity? Where is the respect for human life? It really is heartbreaking to see that after all these years we, as a human race have gone nowhere. It feels as if we have peaked and now we are devolving. I will never understand how or why so many people do such evil things and others pat them on the back for it.
Paul says
Sure, AND how about for ONE DAY they let women ALL women walk around WITHOUT it ?
NO ? Not a good idea ? Oh I see, let’s change USA standards for muslims but they won’t change / adapt to America .
Alexander Avalishvili says
Women wearing the hijab at least subconsciously envy free Christians – so they raise their children in hatred of the Gentiles – and from hatred to terror – is another step.The hijab should be banned – it’s the same savagery as the Islamic custom of stoning women for informal sexual intercourse or burning at the stake of widow in Hinduism.The hijab has no place in any society which considers itself civilized.
Eigil says
What the f.. I don’t see people wearing Jewish or Buddhist garbs in solidarity a day every year. It doesn’t even state clearly that you have to cover up, so why would you have to do it before you judge the clear subjugation that’s going on. For crying out loud, a couple of thousand years ago when their desert fable had not yet been concocted there were just pelt and skin to cover yourselves up with. And if you want to keep your head covered to keep the sun at bay, that was what you did.
Shmooviyet says
A woman wearing a hijab and a smile is a very rare sight where we live.
The two just don’t match–like plaid and polka-dots.
Troybeam says
I was at the grocery store and what did I see a Muslim woman wearing cloth from head to toes and only her eyes were seen, why on earth would women put on a hijab to join Muslim women in solidarity. This action only benefits Islam. It’s bowing to Islam and guess what all you lame brained women, THEY ARE USING YOU, to advance Islam and you women who think your helping a cause by being told is a choice when actuality sharia law demands women be covered up from head to toe.
Have a suggestion, ask the Muslim women to go without the hijab and then stand in solidarity for women not to be abused by Islam’s sharia law.
Sheila York says
I am not a Muslim Woman nor will I ever be. I do not wish to show solidarity with ANY Islamic belief and more especially the encroachment of Sharia Law.
Gen Jones says
The thing that really shows the true colors of this campaign is seeing all the hashtags on Twitter with selfies of sanctimonious hajabbis with their perfect makeup, coordinated fashion looks and faux demure posing. Willing slaves, proud of their ignorance trying to lure other, lesser women along.
Shmooviyet says
Agreed– very heavily shadowed, kohl-lined eyes with long fringey lashes, giving with the seductive stare.
No acid scars, no bruises.
Glamour AND convenience.

Why should I wear such a hideous thing? And before you say, ‘so you can be a good Muslim,’ I’m not a Muslim.
somehistory says
When I drove a school bus, there were quite a number of moslims on the routes. One was a man, his wife and a little boy about four. The man would bring the kid out on most days, put the boy on and walk away.
The woman, sometimes, brought the kid out and he would throw a fit and she would whine and beg him to get on and sit down. One morning, the kid ran out, the woman running behind, her hair flowing loose and she was crying, trying to catch up and put her scarf on at the same time. When they arrived, he did his usual defiant scowl and didn’t want to get on, and then began to kick his mom because her hair was still showing. She was desperate to get the scarf on and tied and get the kid on the bus and sitting down before her husband came out of the house.
She didn’t make it and I could see the fear in her face as he shouted from the door.
I don’t know what happened when they went back inside.
These women who badger other women to wear their disgusting scarves, lie and lie and lie about how they are free and happy to wear it because they are so wonderful.
It makes me sick.
gravenimage says
Horrible, somehistory. Did you ever see the mother again?
And if this Muslim boy was not just disobedient to his despised mother but was actually *kicking her*, one can only imagine how he acted towards any female teachers and fellow students. He’ll probably go on to rape women and beat his wives.
By the way, I’ve seen things not quite as bad as this, but along similar lines. A Hijabbed woman got on the bus with two children–a girl and a boy–in a stroller, and another boy of about four. The four-year-old kicked the girl in the stroller repeatedly until she started to cry–but did not touch the boy. The mother was completely ineffectual, and alternated between fussing over the older boy and smiling at him–sending obvious mixed messages. If it had gotten worse I had planned to either step in myself or alert the bus driver–in both cases the Muslamah probably would have turned on us. Very disturbing stuff, and it was probably even worse at home.
somehistory says
g,
One could probably multiply both our accounts and hardly make a dent in the over-all abuse.
Yes, I did see the woman. She came out every now and then, always covered. She had a pretty face, and her hair that day was very pretty, long and reddish brown with deep waves.
The little boy didn’t want to listen to anyone except his father, so I’m guessing he was a little terror in the class room.
John Barron says
Perhaps she should try to be a Christian for a day in Pakistan or Iraq or Raqqa or Aleppo.

“BEFORE YOU JUDGE …”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As if using good judgement is a *bad* thing …
And if you think that choosing freedom over islamic slavery is to “judge” islam, then so be it. I will go ahead and use my God given ability to “judge” islam because God gave me a brain so I’m gonna use it! …islam squelches *all* freedom and turns people into brainless zombies.
somehistory says
The Apostle Paul said, “Make sure of all things. Hold fast to what is fine.”
And Jesus said, “Let the reader use discernment.”
And Joshua said, “Choose for yourselves Whom you will serve.”
We have made sure, we can see with discernment and choose not to serve satan through islam and its evil practices. If moslims want to take this as criticism, they are taking it correctly. They can walk their chosen path alone, all 1 plus billion of them.

Will the non- muslim women who wear the hijab in solidarity be required to have their clitoris removed or have their vagina sown up leaving only a whole large enough for urination and child birth? In some instances virtue signaling can carry heavy cost.

As several others have suggested, a “World Without Hijabs Day” to show solidarity with real feminists and personal freedom would be a much better idea. Except that the casualty count in the ME would be atrocious.
Barbara says
Some years ago the TV show JAG had an episode where Col. MacKenzie had to wear a hijab. She did at first. She then tore it off and said NO! Wearing one was like disappearing and made to feel like nothing.
wear one NEVER
Sarah says
How about if they go first, all go uncovered for a day, wear a bikini and go to the beach.
Gail says
I do not want to bashed by a man , stoned , locked in my house , then when I get raped I get jailed. As it is my fault. Strong woman do not need this crap
Kay says
Hijab is a way that Mohammedens put women on the front line and hide behind them.
It screams “I am Muslim!” in a way the men do not do for casual by-passers.
And yet for the most part those wearing hijab are not the ones committing the atrocities. It’s a grand distraction and deception — as if Mohammedism was about wearing scarves. We readers at J W know the abuses and misogyny that the scarves point at, but I think most others are still ignorant.
Arthur says
Why not simply extend the day?
Have you participated in “World Hijab Day” by wearing a hijab during the day? Why stop there! Experience a full 24 hours with “World Muslima Day” and experience the complete glory of Islam for women! Just follow a few simple guidlines:
– Wear the hijab, niqab, or burka whenever you leave the house or are in the presence of a non-relative male
– Do not leave the house without a related male escort
– Remind your husband to beat you if you he “fears rebellion” from you.
– Remind your husband that you are his tilth, for him to plow whenever he desires.
Just to spice it up, refuse sex for the evening and see what kind of fireworks you can provoke!
– Remind your husband that, for Muslima day, he can pretend to be married to up to 3 other women for the day. Do you know who else he might choose?
Enjoy what it really feels like to be a Muslim women in all its dimensions! If you find yourself thoroughly enjoying this, then Islam might just be right for you!
Greg Zotta says
The United States does not want nor need what has been happening to the various countries in Europe with the invasion of Muslims. Muslims will not assimilate into the American culture and Sharia Law is not compatible with the US Constitution. Islam is a political and military system masquerading as a religion. Their prophet Mohammed was a pedophile rapist, slaver and mass murderer. Muslims believe the infidels will have to convert to Islam, be enslaved or be killed. Muslims can lie to the infidel to promote Islam called Taqiyya, so they cannot be trusted. The Muslim Brotherhood calls for a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” in which they would destroy the Western civilization from within. They said they would use the Constitution, such as the First Amendment right of Freedom of Religion against the US to further their goal of World Islam. They state, we do not want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy. That is what we want. “We Will Raise The Flag Of Allah In The White House.” They will try to push Sharia law on this country if the American people do not wake up. Again, Islam is not compatible with the US Constitution and the American culture.
Greg Zotta says
Today, 2/1/17 was World hijab day. I did not know that? It started five years ago the channel 2 news report said. And they were encouraging it. WTF! Apparently, those who support this day is unaware that wearing the hijab is a sign that women are subservient to Muslim men. So many people are ignorant as to the threat of Islam is to the Western World. So if today, 2/1/17 was/is World hijab day when will female genital mutilation day be?
Johan says
World Non-Hijab Day
I’d like to invite all Muslim women to get rid of the hijab for a day in solidarity with women in the rest of the world to experience the freedom of rules and oppression they experience.
patriotliz says
Actually NOT wearing the hijab makes women vulnerable to rape by Muslim men.
In other words, because of the invasion of Islam into the West…Warning to infidel women—-start wearing that hijab…or else.
Expat88 says
World hijab day for non-muslim women to cover their hair in solidarity with Muslim women?
Why stop at the hijab why not have a female genital mutilation day?
Why not have a murder a lesbian day?
How about beating by your husband day?
How about no leaving the house without a male Guardian day?
How about a women not allowed to drive day?
How about no girls to be educated day?
Think of all the fun girls can have in a week of Muslim days.
How about marrying a nine-year-old day?
How about marrying 4 wives day?
How about female sex slave captive day?
How about hijab free day?
Try wearing a cross and no head cover in Saudi Arabia day.
How about a world yarmulke day?
Women who don’t want to wear hijab are beaten tortured killed and honor murdered for not covering. Who will speak up in solidarity with them?

Brilliant. An excellent answer to dhimmi “hijab day”.

Perhaps they should do the female circumcision too while they are at it ? Show your dedication !! You too Hilary.

I used to wear scarves all the time to keep my hair in place. Wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one now. I am sick of the whole Islam agenda. What possible contribution to a modern world can a backward thinking primitive vicious cult possibly be? World anti jihad, anti hijab, anti halal, anti fgm, anti pedophile day would be more appropriate.

Well, here’s something quite different – a summons to people of conscience in Britain to stand up and be counted on behalf of Pakistani Catholic Christian Asia Bibi, who faces death because of having been accused of “blasphemy!” by a screeching mohammedan mob. So far she has sat in prison for *seven years* while the government of Pakistan plays cat-and-mouse with her.
The British Pakistani Christian Association, with friends and allies, are holding FOUR rallies on her behalf, in Glasgow and Edinburgh, in London, and in Muslim-infested Birmingham and Manchester, in the course of this month. They are rallying outside the Pakistani diplomatic digs, and *then* in each case *also* petitioning the Scottish and the English Parliaments, requesting that UK *aid* to Islamic Pakistan be cut off, if Asia Bibi is not released.
Details may be found here:
http://www.britishpakistanichristians.org/blog/blasphemy-accused-pakistani-christian-womans-plight-triggers-demonstration-across-the-uk
However, I will repost here, the dates, places, and times. The first demo takes place on Saturday 4 February – this coming Saturday – in London. I hope some of our London-based jihadwatchers may be able to attend.
Date – Saturday 4 February 2017. LONDON. Time – 10 am to 11 am, and then 12 noon to 1 am. Place – Pakistan High Commission, 34-36 Lowndes Square, London, SW1X9JN.
A procession will leave the Pakistan High Commission at 11 am and arrive at 10 Downing Street for 12 noon for a one-hour protest.
Date: Saturday 11th February 2017. GLASGOW, and then EDINBURGH. Time: 12 noon to 2 pm. Place – 45 Maxell Drive, Glasgow, G41 5JF. The Protest will finish at 2 pm and then a delegation will travel to Edinburgh, to submit a petition to the Scottish Parliament.
(Dear Scotland-based Jihadwatchers – do please, please, please get along to this demo, if you possibly can. If you can’t do the Glasgow and then the Edinburgh, just turn up to one or the other. The more ‘warm bodies’ are out there and visible, the better. Mohammedans bow only to superior force. Therefore, if a HUGE infidel crowd turns up, all exhibiting a no-nonsense Attitude, it just might make a dent. – dda)
Date: Friday 17th February 2017, MANCHESTER. Time: 4 pm to 6 pm. Location: The Pakistani Consulate, Pakistan House, 137 Dickensen Rd, Manchester, M145JB. Note – Visitors are kindly requested to bring candles (it’s the UK, and I would imagine that by 6 pm it’s getting dark – dda)
Date: Saturday 18th February 2017, BIRMINGHAM. TIME, 12 noon to 2 pm. Location: Pakistani Consulate, 10A, The Wharf, Bridge Street, Birmingham, B1 2JS.
‘A petition will be presented to each of the Pakistani diplomatic buildings, and to 10 Downing Street, the Welsh Council, and the Scottish Parliament. The petition calls for Pakistan to ensure that Asia Bibi has a fair trial, and that she is protected from harm in a nation that despises her because of her faith. The electronic petition can be signed by [link in original; so click on the link provided above, and then read on down to find the petition link -dda ).
From the BPCA notice, more:
‘
The BPCA is calling for people of good conscience to sign the petition and join us in solidarity.
‘Protesters are calling for the British government to intervene on behalf of Asia Bibi, who they say was falsely accused of denigrating the Islamic prophet Mohammed. They seek diplomatic engagement between the British and Pakistani governments to ensure that Asia has a fair trial, and that her family, the judiciary, and legal team representing Asia, are protected from the many hard-line Muslims in Pakistan.
“‘A letter will be submitted to 10 Downing Street, accompanying our petition. The letter will also call for the UK government to reconsider the 445 million pounds of foreign aid given to Pakistan. With a desire that the aid be termnated, unless Pakistan significantly improves its poor human rights record.”
Excellent idea! – DDA. And it could be applied to many another horrible human-rights-abusing mohammedan entity.
More, from the head of the BPCA, Wilson Chowdhry ( a *very* different kind of person, from that other Choudhry of whom we know only too much, at jihadwatch).
“Major donors such as the UK and the USA need to start to use their substantial foreign aid budgets to Pakistan as leverage for better human rights – with real conviction.”..”.
So, there you go. Whilst all the Useful Idiots, Mohammedans and Islamophiles are squealing and ginning up faux outrage over Trump’s really very limited and modest attempts to make America a little safer for Infidels, *you*, if you reside in the UK, can be taking part in a *real* protest rally on behalf of someone who truly IS an innocent victim… an innocent victim of cruel, savage and barbaric mohammedan discrimination and persecution, meted out to her – by MUSLIMS – because of her faith.
Instead of joining all the Useful Idiots putting on the Mohammedan Slave Rag, *you* can … carry the Cross, or if not Christian, then at least, stand *beside* the Cross – on behalf of Asia Bibi, Catholic Christian of Pakistan, imprisoned for conscience’ sake.
Dan King says
Why not ask all the muslim women to remove their coverings for a day to show their solidarity and want to assimilate? How about they all wear a Star of David t-shirt or necklace, how about all muslim women wear a cross necklace?
Dustin Koellhoffer says
Walking in the footsteps of a slave of Islam teaches nothing in America.
Lioness says
I propose a hijab burning day. All true feminists should gather and symbolically throw hijabs into the fire, just like the feminists in the 60’s were burning bras to symbolize their liberation. Hijabs are a symbol of women’s opression and subjugation, there is nothing celebratory about it. But “feminists” today are so morally corrupt that they don’t care about the miserable fate of millions of women under sharia, they approve of it.
Susette says
I will NEVER, EVER, EVER wear a hijab.As a liberal-leaning feminist, I find this atrocious. I just don’t understand why Western feminists embrace this. Feminists burned thier bras in the ’60’s for equality…now 50 years later they’re donning hijabs…a symbol of misogyny and inequality. Un…fricking…believable…
(I loved the fashion scarf look ala Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O, but would never wear one today because of islam.)
Sarah Phillips says
Agree completely.. I hope they post my youtube of Ayan Hirsi Ali’s film below.
mzaz says
No thanks. Muslim women are treated like the scum of the earth. Their genitals are mutilated. They cannot bring a rape case to court unless they have 4 male witnesses. YEAH RIGHT, like men are going to agree with a woman. They can have sex with a nine year old and marry them. Honor killing is okay. It is a cult founded by a pedophile.
John A. Marre says
If they want to show solidarity, they need to get FGM, and agree to be stoned to death if they are raped.
Sarah Phillips says
Susette says
That is an excellent video. Hirsi has first hand knowledge and experience with the evil of islam. I will continue to emphasize and defend against islam’s misogynist treatment of women. Thanks for sharing, Sarah Phillips.
Suzanne says
Hijabs are nothing but Muslims virtue signalling at each other, and Burqas are nothing but Muslims’ hyper-virtue signaling at each other. That’s how they both got started.
Bit a Christian or Jew wearing a hijab is committing IDOLATRY.
Muslim virtue signalling will take them all to hell. In fact, given the hellish nature of Muslim countries, it already has. If Nazma Khan wants solidarity with women of the world, she needs to rip that filthy rag symbol of evil-worship OFF HER OWN HEAD.
davej says
If a Muslim woman neglects to wear her hijab in a Muslim country she is at high risk of rape or murder or both. You want to express “solidarity” with that?
Eyes Open says
What about world wear a crucifix day to highlight the worldwide persecution of Christians especially in the middle east. I am sure the Muslims will go for that afterall Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance…not
dumbledoresarmy says
And then there could be “wear a Star of David day”, to show solidarity with Jews, and with jihad-beleaguered Israel.
Ashraf Madani says
What about a day without Hijab. A day for removing Hijab in all the countries that women are forced to wear it.

Yes, sweetheart, when you wear a bathing suit showing all your skin, in public, I will wear your head dress….sure…no problem. It’s not important either way is it? It’s bloody ridiculous all around!

What hijab says to me is the following:
The woman wearing it is presupposing that if she exposes any part of her body including hair, I will be sexually aroused upon seeing her.
Living in the free West, I find this to be a very offensive presupposition. This does not tally with my experience in my life. Beautiful women dress nicely over here and go about their business every where. They make the environment beautiful. When I see a pretty woman beautifully dressed, I thank God for His creation, pray for happiness for the lady and move on. How is such a reaction on my part to be equated with dangers of my abusing her in any way?
I am deeply offended by the proposal for the World Hijab Day. Spare me!
Susette says
Your beautifully articulated response to the offensive World Hijab day made my day! WOW…I appreciate your appreciation for and good wishes towards women. Thank you! I’m curious…what are your thoughts when going about your day and you come across women in a hijab or a niqab?
Tam says
So will we see the gesture reciprocated by having a day for Muslims to wear crosses to stand in solidarity with Christians who are persecuted?, Or how about a day to stand in solidarity with Jews by wearing a Jewish cap?
Mia J Evans says
I too find this very offensive .. Stupid ideas like makes me mad! Why the hell would I do something I see as part of the problem.. ,!! Maybe Muslim woman can try and fit in with the country they have come to live in and take it off for the day.. They have come here to live in the west.. So isn’t it fair they should try our way first???
