There is an ongoing effort in the establishment media to present Islam and Sharia observance as completely ordinary, benign things, with no downside at all. This effort usually becomes more intense after a jihad massacre, with its attendant myth-making about racist, redneck yahoos supposedly victimizing hijab-wearing women: efforts such as this one are presented as attempts to offset that supposed outpouring of “hate” by “humanizing” hijab-wearing women and allowing sympathetic non-Muslims to stand in “solidarity” with them.
That’s all wonderful, but where is Facebook’s and Twitter’s solidarity with 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?
“Twitter and Facebook rolling out new emoji which includes breastfeeding and hijabs,” by Gilaine Ng, Straits Times, May 26, 2017 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
Tired of the emoji on your phone? As of Tuesday (May 23), Twitter users can take 239 new emoji for a test drive.
The update will soon be rolled out on Facebook too.
In total, there are 56 entirely brand new characters.
Gender and skin tone variations account for the other 183.
The new emoji include a breastfeeding mother, one of the most requested emoji in 2016. It was proposed by Ms Rachel Lee, a registered nurse at the University College of London Hospital.
She wrote that the emoji would “fill a gap in the current standard which omits the most popular form of nutrition for newborn babies”.
The latest emoji update was first announced in March by Unicode Consortium, the organisation that oversees the creation of emoji.
Another addition is a woman with headscarf, proposed by Rayouf Alhumedhi from Saudi Arabia.
The 15-year-old teenage girl wrote in her proposal to Unicode: “The addition of the hijab emoji will prove to be a step forward in tolerance and diversity.”…

JMB says
American business and basically any other business can not afford to ignore the estimated 1.4 billion Muslims “out there”. So what if there is the occasional terror attack, that is obviously the price we have to pay.
Ed Lee says
Everyone should be reading the business/financial press – CNBC, MarketWatch, Bloomberg, etc. You will find that big business people view the threat of jihad attacks as trivial. They rarely mention it at all, and then only in vague terms such as “geopolitical uncertainty”.
WPM says
As long as they get their silver CNBC ,Market Watch, Bloomberg, do not care about the little people in the street. The are run by people on the same level as Soro they want the average person to have less power so they can steal the remaining weath from the middle class.
Shone says
That is the very proof that there is no Left, or Right on this planet, if there was any before. All this nonsense about Political Correctness, Gender ism, Feminism, and all other isms have nothing with left, or even Marxism. It has everything with business, with market. Furthermore, the proof is in the book of lies. Mohamed was a merchant, businessman, just like mafia bosses. So, the free market society is very compatible with ideas of death cult. They share the same interest, the interest for profit. Terrorist attacks? It is nothing. Female mutilation? Nothing. Sharia law? It is nothing. In essence, we have sold our souls to the lord of money, deception, and lie. Only thing that matters is money. If this is not a true, why then almost every western government is pursuing against hackers, software pirates, and treat them as terrorists? Almost every damn sharing web site has been shutdown, or prosecuted. While jihadi butchers are freely use Internet for their propaganda!? If the western governments are really apt to fight against the terrorism, why they do not use same assets on jihadis, as they use it on piracy web sites?

Bologna. Baloney!
Having everyone be the same is not tolerating differences and it isn’t diverse, but perverse.
This is an attempt to make everyone accept having it forced on women and islum forced on everyone.
WalterSieruk says
First, it needs to be reiterated that this murderous jihad terror attack at the concert at Manchester totally cruel and despicable. This heinous Islamic of mass murder is so extremely evil , so evil , in fact, this is mass murdering of young people ,most of them girls also has a strong vicious element of misogyny to it. Misogyny, as most informed people do understand, is very much part of the essence of Islam. Along with the brutal deadly violence of this religion. This Muslim /terrorist bombing is not as some claim as result of a warped version of Islam but hard core non-watered down Quran based Islam. For example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:123 “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…” It’s thus very easy for a jihad minded Muslim show harshness to young girls who are not Muslims by exploding and bomb .This sure can be harsh This wicked action was the outcome of the deadly cruel religion which is Islam.
Second , it also should be restated, because the message is so important, that this hideous and evil Islamic terrorist bombing in the city in Manchester was totally evil. This not as some claim a result of a “hijacked Islam” but actual violent Quran based jihad Islam. This Muslim suicide /homicide bombing is on the Quran as ,for example , in Sura 9:111 it teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s cause they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed…” Furthermore, in Sura 47:4. it also instructs “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it , setting off a bomb murdering young are who are not Muslims is a very effective way to “make greater slaughter among them.” In conclusion, the religion of Islam is actually a death cult.
gravenimage says
Good post, Walter.
Charli Main says
In the interests of Islamo-pandering, lets have a hijabed goat emoji for Muslim men having sexual emergencies.
WalterSieruk says
First and foremost on the light of the Bible its revealed that this murderous jihadist with his Islamic suicide/homicide bombing attack which had the tragic result in the deaths of many young people and the maiming and many more was the outcome of his blind and unquestioning faith in a dangerous and deadly false religion.
That brutal and heinous jihadist /Muslim in the city on Manchester, England who murderous so many young girls coming out of the concert as completely demonic and murderous in his deluded and wicked Islamic quest of the jihad This his vicious suicide /homicide jihad bombing attack against those young people was actually behaving in accord to the instruction of the “holy book “ of Islam, the Quran. Which instructs in for example Sura 9:111. “The believer’s fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” After that murderous jihadist died he had discovered, to his shock and horror, the promise of a paradise with many houris , as the Quran teaches 44:54. 55:56. 78:31., for the dead jihadist was a lie outright lie and a total falsehood . For that Muslim terrorist found this out the hard way because after he dies he found himself trapped and suffering in the fires of hell .Such as the Bible describes in for example, Luke 13:28. 16:19-31.The Bible also teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21.[K.J.V.] Furthermore, in the Bible book of Revelation in 21:8 it gives a list of the people who will end up terribly suffering without end . As in forever in that awful place , and one of those persons in that Lake of Fire are people on that list who are murderers. In short, that murderous jihadist is the real loser and he now understand that he was wrong. Very wrong and that he had committed the evil of mass murder because he place his faith in a false religion.
Likewise, in view of the enlightenment of the Bible is also the following essay. Of the twenty two young people who were murdered in the city of Manchester, by that vicious and murderous action of Islamic terrorism ,seven who the victims who died were very young girls . What a cruel, despicable and malicious god the god of Islam is to actually instruct jihadist/Muslim to commit such homicidal actions and even enjoy a heartless and brutal massacre of youth and in Manchester.
The god of Islam likes it when non-Muslims [Kafirs] die . As the above posting she the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible. Getting back to the god of Islam ,the television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
. The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2]
Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. Verily if Allah pleased, He could take vengeance on them without your assistance, but He commandeth you to fight His Battles.” 47:4
In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. [NKJV]

Britain has 5% muslim population. If men and women are divided 50-50, that means that 1 in 40 people in Britain are muslim women.
That alone is scary but when I think of it, yesterday I was checking universities’ websites, two hijabed women on photos (less that 80 people shown in photos).
Today I watched a BBC ad of a programme about the elections, some 20 people asking questions, one hijabed woman.
Another programme was on a few minutes latter, some 5 people interviewed on some matter, one hijabed woman.
You see a lot more hijabed women on TV than their percentage of the population. More than black people, more than white british, certainly more than asian or eastern european.
On the other hand you don’t see many salafist beraded man-dressed idiots.
Kay says
Not sure your math is right, but it’s a good point anyway. I’m surrounded by posters (re diversity) that invariably include a hijabi.

“..Rayouf Alhumedhi from Saudi Arabia…wrote in her proposal to Unicode: “The addition of the hijab emoji will prove to be a step forward in tolerance and diversity.”…
So, for a girl in Saudi Arabia, promoting the hijab is a ‘step forward in tolerance and diversity’. Clearly, that’s ‘tolerance and diversity’ Saudi Arabian style, which rather echoes Henry Ford’s idea of colour ‘diversity’ for his Model T cars; i.e., in this case, ‘You can follow any religion you like so long as it’s Islam’. Well, as far as we in the UK are concerned, Ms Alhumedhi can put her idea of ‘tolerance and diversity’ somewhere where even the Saudi Arabian sun does not shine, because for us ‘tolerance and diversity’ means 22 people dead and many more injured or maimed, and that’;s only the score for the last week or so.

Cool, now a terrorist can use that emoji whenever he/she carries out an attack.
Ed Lee says
I don’t know if it is incompetence, ineptitude, or apathy, but Facebook is falling down on the job when policing so-called “hate speech”. Since March 3, 2017, I have been posting items on Facebook that point out the hate, intolerance, misogyny, and incitement to violence contained in the Qur’an. I do it by quoting full verses verbatim, with a short explanation of the content. So far, I have done this 27 times. There has been no reaction of any kind from Facebook. I suspect that they don’t want to go on record as saying that quoting verbatim from the Qur’an constitutes hate speech.
gravenimage says
Ed, I think it more likely that no has reported you yet.
Still, keep up the good work!
Ed Lee says
I’ve read in the trade press (Computerworld, etc) that Facebook employs hundreds of people who constantly search for “objectionable” content that they have agreed to remove, any time it shows up. Other users playing Big Brother and reporting you, is not the only way they monitor content. I fully intend to continue. The Qur’an is a target rich source.

We all know what the smiley face emoji signifies. What does the Hijabi emoji express? “I am forced to wear headscarf or my father will kill me”, perhaps? Of maybe “don’t rape me, rape those unveiled sluts over there”?

The “diverse” population of KSA is tolerated as servants but treated as slaves with their passports taken and subject to all manner of abuse.
Then there’s the matter of drawings and images of living things forbidden in Islam. There’s an emoji of the Kaaba why hasn’t some earnest jihadi done something to have it removed? ?
