Of course. What else could opposing institutionalized discrimination against women and non-Muslims, the death penalty for gays, the denial of the freedom of conscience, the denial of the freedom of speech, and the rest of it possibly be? Of course, Teen Vogue has no idea that any of those things really are part of Sharia: whatever its editors think they know about Sharia come from smooth-tongued Islamic apologists who lie to her about what Sharia is really all about. Every Sharia state in the world is a human rights basket case, but those editors apparently do not have the wit to consider the likelihood that Saudi Arabia and Iran and other self-proclaimed Sharia states are really misunderstanding it on a grand scale.
“Teen Vogue Calls ‘The March Against Sharia’ Hate Speech,” by Jerome Hudson, Breitbart, June 12, 2017 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
Left-wing magazine Teen Vogue called ACT for America’s nationwide “March Against Sharia” protests “hate speech.”
The protests — which took place in more than 20 cities, including New York, Dallas, and Atlanta — were an example of “hateful speech as a free speech issue.”
“For example, on the question of sharia — the topic of Saturday’s marches — there is wide space for people to learn more about what sharia is,” Asma Uddin and Firdaus Arastu wrote in an op-ed for Teen Vogue. “For many Americans, it sounds scary — we hear tales of a system where hands are chopped off and adulterers are stoned. But this is not the sharia of America.”
“Sharia is a set of legal rules that deal with a range of issues from the minutia of washing hands and feet to purify oneself before prayer to inheritance rules. It’s also about spirituality,” Uddin and Arastu wrote.
Sharia Law is the brutal and often oppressive Quran-preached islamic [sic] law, practiced, in varying degrees, in several Muslim-majority countries — Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan.
Such barbaric tenants of Shariah Law, including imprisonment or death for apostasy (abandoning Islam), mental and physical subjugation of women, and genital mutilation of girls are still practiced throughout the Muslim world….
Lydia says
Sharia IS the hate speech.
Opposing it is the opposite of hate speech.
Can they get any more ignorant?!
john spielman says
the leftist little cupcakes of TEEN VOGUE are just parroting their adult leftist parents- The little snowflakes should be sent to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan for one year to live- having to wear black garbage bags over their heads, no driving cars, and to stay at home unless with a male chaperone OR and be beaten frequently by the sharia police if they don’t
carol says
They seem to want anything at all just so long as it looks new and different to them. Like an adolescent identity crisis (as the experts have suggested).
DrSique says
The dangerous part is that they are attempting to spread their ignorance to young minds, under the guise of enlightenment. Whenever one of these left wingers starts calling me names, I just smile. It means that they have given up trying to actually push their ideology and I have won the debate. Young people are far more susceptible to peer pressure and that is the reason that they are specifically targeted. Now that conservatives are aware of what is going on in our schools and have begun to push back, liberals will turn to other venues like Teen Vogue, etc. This is a full on culture war and those of us who believe in the moral and legal foundations of this great country need to be prepared to fight on all fronts.

Great answer to nonsense,Islam is the worst excuse for a religion!

Let me guess, that particular issue of Teen Vogue does not have a single ad spread of a woman wearing hijab, amIright?

Well,,,,not yet…not while the Constitution is still the *law* of the land. Mostly, anyway.
Not while there are still some who stand up for free speech and gun rights and other freedoms on the law books.
But it only takes one termite to begin the destruction of a home. He invites in one of his friends, or gets married, has a few (hundred) children….and soon the whole house is infected and falling apart with termite debris covering everything.

Good analogy.

Aahh, termites!!! I always try to convey that the Constitution is the foundation of our nation. What happens to the house when the foundation is eroded??? The whole thing collapses.
Donald R Laster Jr says
People don’t want to face reality. They want to believe that Islam is religion and then they compare to Christianity or Judaism. Islam is a theocracy and its laws are brutal and vicious especially to those who are not Islamic.

Try telling that to Pope Frankie ! His “dialogue” with these demons is more important than the lives of Christians in the Near East.

“For many Americans, it sounds scary — we hear tales of a system where hands are chopped off and adulterers are stoned. But this is not the sharia of America.”
……………………………
Are Asma Uddin and Firdaus Arastu pretending that Sharia has already been imposed here in America?
The whole point is that it has–*thank God*–*not* been imposed here.
This is the only reason we are not seeing amputation for petty thieves and stoning for rape victims.
If Muslims ever gain the upper hand here, this is *exactly* what we will have here.

‘Hate speech’ well maybe it wouldn’t be hate speech if Sharia wasn’t so hateful! Those idiots don’t know what sharia is and they’re telling children lies

Asma Uddin and Firdaus Arastu wrote in an op-ed for Teen Vogue. “… — we hear tales of a system where hands are chopped off and adulterers are stoned. But this is not the sharia of America.”
1. These are not tales.
2. Sharia is Sharia. There is no American Sharia, there is only Muslim Sharia. Sharia
is not dmocratic.
3. Next article in “Teen Vogue” on FGM, please. That’s in vogue in some sharia
countries.
carol says
Re FGM: On local radio today they’re saying that the Dearborn doctors only did “scraping” and that its a “religious practice” (still no specific mention of Islam). How innocuous and sugar-coated! But why bother scraping off a few skin cells? To what mysterious purpose? I’ll bet a few actual feminine nerve-endings often (if not always) get returned to the parents for a symbolic “burial”.
utis says
Unless they’re pseudonyms, those authors’ names don’t look very kufr. Is the article bald taqiya or self-delusion? That last paragraph, about ritual purity and inheritance, makes sharia look like conservative Judaism. As far as I know, an Orthodox Jew gets a “git” and a civil divorce. He doesn’t throw his wife out the window (see posting on German nut before this).
scott says
Maybe this teen can yell their protest not to offend muslims while being thrown from a building

This is actually happening, all of it, right here in the dear old USA. all of these crimes are relatively rare right now, but not non-existent, and not isolated incidents, either. Some doc has just been arrested and charged for fgm (the charges were more Hippocratic oath-related) in the vicinity of Dearborne, Michigan, where he’d performed thousands of these clitoroidectomies on children, even though congress passed a law five or ten years ago specifically making it a criminal offense.
Cheers!

That doesn’t stop them, any more than any of our laws would take precedence over Sharia.

It’s a mad mad world where taking a vocal stand against killing is … hate speech.

I don’t think people with brains read that magazine, not even teen with brains. The authors use taqyya,
James says
It passes belief that – with exceptions like Milo – gay people seem unable to understand that Shari’a would have no time for them; and Teen Vogue is very gay-friendly. Can’t the magazine join the dots ?
Josef says
to be ignorant of implications … so typical as some would say …
Anne Smith says
Joining dots seems to be a skill which is not possessed by young people.
Viz. Immigration intto Europe:

but they can’t see any of it.
Norger says
Death penalty for: apostasy, adultery, blasphemy, homosexuality. Ditto for the dimwitted editorial staff at Teen Vogue: wife beating, child marriage, honor killings, FMG (hint: these things may not be good for some of your readers). These aren’t “tales,” these are all classical sharia. But opposing these things is “hate speech.”
makeamericagreatagain says
I just can’t wrap my head around this! More indoctrination of our youth ! I wish someone , something , would awaken people to see what is really going on in America . I believe we will be beaten to submission , it’s over for the country my immigrant family came to,to give us a better life! God help us!
Anne says
Naturally Teen Vogue didn’t show bloody pictures of FGM, post stories of teen girls who had their throats slit by brothers or fathers for dating or explain they will inherit only half or less than their brothers thanks to sharia law.
John A. Marre says
Let’s hope that Teen Vogue receives a Charlie Hebdo type visit from the wonderful people who murder, rape and burn, and who get away with it because normal people are accused of hate speech for complaining about getting killed, raped and burned.

I take your point, John, but I don’t want to see *anyone* fall victim to Jihad–not even fools like these at Teen Vogue.
Don Wood says
QUESTION TO “TEEN VOGUE”:
Do you believe in: (1) Beating of women? Qur’an 4:34. (2} Muhammed said, wife beating is part of the doctrine of Islam. Dawud 21:42. America objects to wife beating and all of our laws prohibit it. (3) Sexual abuse of boys and girls called “thighing”, source below? I as an American don’t want people coming here who will live their lives outside our law. This is only one reason to object to sharia law.
Islamic doctrine supports slavery, torture, submission of Kafirs (people who don’t believe in doing all these things), wife beatiing and political assasination. I do not reject Muslims, not at all! So, I ask: (1) Do you support wife beating and political assasination? If you say, “No!” I must ask why you support Islam that contains those elements? No one needs to say they aren’t skilled in the Sira, Qur’an or Hadiths to determine these things. All you need to do is consult with Imam Google! Just try Googling, “Islam wife beating.” (2) Do you support lying to advance or protect Islam exposure of these things? See Momen, Moojan (1985). An Introduction to Shi’i Islam. Yale University Press. p. 183. ISBN 978-0-300-03531-5. It’s called “Taqiyya” and makes Islamic word undependable for it’s subjective uses. (3) Sexual abuse of boys and girls is practiced called “thighing” or “Mufa’ Kahthat.” See http://looklex.com/textarchive/bukhari/004.htm verses 231-233. This is the sunna of Muhammed that all Muslims are to practice as he was the “Perfect Muslim.” I actually witnessed this in a gymnasium in Denver, Colorado where the father was masturbating his son and the wife her daughter in public. The police were called, and the court said it was “custom” to them and I don’t know what the final adjudication was. Do you like this practice or want it prohibited? So, I’m not bad mouthing Muslims or even Islam. What I AM badmouthing is wife beating, inferiority of women, killing of Kafirs, sexual abuse of boys and girls, lying to advance Islamic ends, political assassinations and I don’t want any of those kinds of “immigrants” in my country. I can also say that I condemn the Sunna of Muhammed, the Qur’an, the Sira and Hadiths, because they are WRONG about the elements of wife beating, inferiority of women, killing of unbelievers or apostates, molesting children, lying to advance these creeds and practices, and their other political assassinations. I want none of this in my country of which I am a citizen.
My Muslim, Christian or Jewish friend, do YOU agree with these elements that I am opposed to? Do you CONDEMN the Sira, Sunna, Sharia, Qur’an and Hadiths OR DO YOU APPROVE of such customs?

Perfect muslims are DEAD muslims.

ibrahim itace muhammed says
Shari’a has come to stay to eradicate savageries like gay sex behavior and having sex with beasts.filthy christians and evil jews consider such vices as signs of civilisation.idiots!!
WPM says
Ibrahim itace muhammed are you sure your not the editor of Teen Vogue? If you eradicate gay sex what will all those child molesters in Afghanistan do about their tea boys? What about great Allah promise of many pearly boys in the great bordello of Islamic heaven? As far as sex with animals the Moslems seem to dominate that market on the internet. Try to use spell check it will make you seem like less childish ,but you still will look foolish.
Anne says
Excellnt post, WPM. So many Muslims are ignorant about their own religion. None take into account they are practitioners because their very own ancestors were forced to convert at the point of a sword, were raped or enslaved.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Blame Christians and Jews for deviant behaviors they have opposed as abnormal behaviors. Yet the only people promoting sodomy and bestiality are from the “Left” and Islamics. Islamics promote sodomy by using prepubescent boys as sex toys and have no problems in using animals as sex toys either. Islamics have a history of doing that and raping women as well as part of what Shar’iah law allows.
Norger says
At least you’re honest about it, unlike the authors of the Teen Vogue article who dissemble about what sharia really means.
Anne says
Ibrahim, there is a good chance the reason you now practice Islam is because your distant grandmother was enslaved and raped or your distant grandfather converted to avoid beheading. Proud of that? No, submission is your norm.
Goddess says
Kill yourself while you still can, goat-fucker.
rabrooks says
So then why did the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomein take the time to outline the proper way to have sex with goats/sheep/cows and then how the meat or milk would be treated? Until then it could only be sold to a city/town/village down the road.

………………………….
Muslims are fine with same sex as long as it involves pedophilia or raping to humiliate–the only problem they have is with consensual relations between adults.
And bestiality is *illegal* in the West–but it is rife in Islam. The Ayatollah Khomeini even spelled out how pious Muslims can rape animals according to Shari’ah–it is fine as long as they kill the poor beast immediately after abusing them, and sell their meat to a neighboring village.
The fact is that Muslims consider the most appalling sex crimes as sacralized–“marrying” pre-pubescent girls, raping Infidel women in Jihad, polygamy, and the keeping of sex slaves.
The idea that Islam is chaste could not be more sickeningly grotesque.
Tom says
Edmund Burke said:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little”
“Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.”
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one,”
The editors of Teen Vogue do not know the harm and danage that they are doing (or perhaps they do?)
to the minds of our young people who are ignorant of history and Islam.

Walter Sieruk says
Speaking out against the oppressive cruel tyranny of Sharia law being established in the Western nations ,as the USA, is not “hate speech.” As the Bible instructs there is “A time to speak and a time to keep silence.” Ecclesiastes 3:8:[N.K.J.V.] Therefore this is time to speak out against the evil of Sharia law and is likewise is the right thing to do . By contrast to keep silent at this time against the wickedness of Sharia law in wrong and cowardly.
Furthermore,just last Saturday, June 10, in the city of Harrisburg Pa I took part in an ACT FOR AMERICA pro-US Constitution: anti-Sharia law rally .The opponents to this rally shouted, yelled and carried on and accused the pro-US Constitution :anti Sharia law people of being full of hate. This accusation of the Pro-America rally of being hateful is a straw man argument. For Sharia law is based on Islam and Muslim people are not Islam. So at the rally I saw no or found no hate whatsoever for the Muslim people. Not even a little bit, none at all. By the way, Islam is not a race. Islam is a religious /political Sharia law based law belief system that has tyrannical mind control of many people in the US and around the world.
Furthermore the opponents to the rally actually held up two outdated Red Communist flags of the former Soviet Union. This also should tell all thinking people something.
Goddess says
Americans will NEVER, EVER dignify this putrid DEATH CULT with the terms ‘religion’. ‘faith’, or even ‘ideology’. This is vile, subhuman BARBARISM, pure and simple.

mortimer says
RE Teen Vogue called ACT for America’s nationwide “March Against Sharia” protests “hate speech.”
Teen Vogue is no doubt concentrating on the wearing of the Islamic veil, the PATRIARCHAL and MISOGYNISTIC SYMBOL PAR EXCELLENCE.
Teen Vogue is no doubt thinking that Muslim women have a RIGHT to wear a garment that demeans, degrades their dignity, worth and status and that Muslim women have a RIGHT to declare themselves slaves of men for time and eternity.
Westerners make the ASSUMPTION that the veil is about ‘piety’ or ‘religiosity’. That is incorrect. The Islamic veil is about MONEY: the worth of a woman to Islamic PATRIARCHY.
The Islamic veil is about MONEY and NOT about religion.

Linda Goudsmit says
Teen Vogue is owned by CondeNast which is owned by Advance Publications which is owned by the very liberal Newhouse family. The Newhouse/ Advance empire is ranked as one of the 50 largest private companies in the United States and, therefore, one of the most influential. The power of the Newhouse pen is enormous and is being used to indoctrinate a younger and younger population with publications like Teen Vogue. Now Liberalism is not only the new religion in America – it is fashionable to belong – not something usually associated with religious affiliation.
