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

A clothing line to die for: Macy’s to launch line geared toward Muslims, including hijabs

Feb 8, 2018 8:01 am By Robert Spencer

When is Macy’s launching its clothing line geared toward Jews? Christians? Hindus? Buddhists?

In any case, coming at a time when Iranian women are risking years in prison for daring to take off their hijabs, for Macy’s to celebrate this emblem of oppression is grotesque. Untold numbers of women have been brutalized and killed for not wearing the hijab: a very small and partial list of some of them can be found here. In recognition of that fact, Macy’s should drop this clothing line, just as it would drop a clothing line inspired by, say, the KKK or the Nazis. But it won’t.

“Macy’s to launch a clothing line geared toward Muslims,” Associated Press, February 7, 2018 (thanks to Joe):

NEW YORK (AP) – Macy’s is launching a women’s clothing line aimed at Muslim shoppers. The department store chain says it teamed up with a boutique called Verona Collection and plans to sell the collection of modest dresses, tops, cardigans and hijabs online. The clothing will launch on Macy’s website on Feb. 15.

The brand was developed by Lisa Vogl, a graduate of Macy’s minority- and women-owned business development program, which aims to offer more fashion diversity.

While Macy’s is the first major U.S. department store to sell hijabs, it joins other brands offering products aimed at Muslims….

      Yes, BOYCOTT Macy’s for EXONERATING MISOGYNY and PROMOTING MISOGYNY.

      The Islamic veil is the ultimate SYMBOL of misogyny and partriarchy. Would Macy’s promote NAZI APPAREL? Would they promote AZTEC HUMAN SACRIFICE apparel?

    Maybe they also offer a decorative suicide belt with earrings.

    • Lydia Church says

      Feb 8, 2018 at 9:27 pm

      Then they can go out together for ‘molotov’ cocktails, if the suicide belt does not function properly.

      Next it will be a barbie line with accessories included: swords, bomb making kits, other ammo, FGM tools, etc.

      • Del says

        Feb 9, 2018 at 11:20 am

        FGM tools can possibly be obtained from Trudeau’s Islamic terrorist boutique in Ottawa. Contact Liberal Government jihadists like Khalid and Monsef for more information.

    Macy’s is leading the way For “Muslims in America” Style Wise, but will have to HURRY. All of my Style Mags have already been filled with Black, Muslim Models, looking like Old Muhammad’s Ugly Wives, Concubines, etc. I tore the Cover off the VOGUE, TOO REVOLTING! ISLAM has become MainStreamed into America, & the Violence & Ugliness of Islam has been swallowed by the FASHIONISTAS!

      I am looking forward to the day that Macy’s suffers the consequence of their stupidity. It would seem that they are not familiar enough with their poor customer base to know that (hopefully) their only customers will be Muslim.

      I remember the Communism Chic of the ’60s and ’70s. There are still idiots here who wear Che t-shirts. This is the same sort of fascination with savagery. *Ugh*.

  6. MFritz says

    Feb 8, 2018 at 9:03 am

    And how do you reach your target audience, Macy’s?

    If the women wear the hijab already, their husbands most likely decide WHERE they go and WHAT they buy. Not much hope the will go to a “halal”-place to buy “halal”-clothes.

    And the others? They most certainly DON’T buy this. There are WAY better alternatives for free women than the sharia-dress code!

    • Save Europe says

      Feb 8, 2018 at 7:58 pm

      Let’s be careful. In many cases you’re correct. However, it is EQUALLY true, that Muslimas even wearing Burkas wear what they wear as a deliberate provocation towards non-Muslims – both male and female. It’s a case of -‘I’m a Muslim so you cannot look at me kuffar!’ They do that, very happily.

    A letter campaign was created by Florida Family Association. The first letter was blocked by Macy’s. Whenever this happens, FFA sends out a second letter that opens up in your e-mail browser which usually prevents the letter from being rejected. For the first time, both of my letters have returned as undeliverable.
    (http://www.florida-family.org/take_action_desktop.php?message=428).

    Macy’s is determined not to hear any divergent opinions about their new Sharia-compliant clothing launch.

    • Westman says

      Feb 8, 2018 at 11:31 am

      I’m guessing they stopped listening at, “..highly illogical business strategy for a company in a downward spiral..”

      Macy’s is an institution that can even get the public to pay for miltary jets to fly over their parades. Imagine the hubris in the upper echelons of management. The only influences they will not discount are the MSM and the Wall Street Journal.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 8, 2018 at 10:31 pm

        If Muslim get into power, they will shut down the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

        ISIS has already targeted it:

        “ISIS Singles Out Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as ‘Excellent’ Attack Target”

        https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/isis-singles-out-macy-s-thanksgiving-day-parade-excellent-attack-n684456

        Of course a fun event for Infidel families–especially one that ends with a celebration of Christmas–is going to be a target.

        How can Macy’s be so stupid? Wait–don’t answer that…

    • a_leigh says

      Feb 8, 2018 at 5:20 pm

      I don’t object to modest clothing, per se, but I think it’s awful that they’re marketing it only at Muslims! Macy’s has never before targeted any religious group. You don’t hear of Macy’s offering racks of saris for sale in stores. They don’t market wigs, scarves or or other head coverings to Orthodox Jewish women. Do they not want money from women in the LDS church or other conservative Christian churches?

      Designer Lisa Vogl is especially infuriating to me because she’s a CONVERT. Many women are Muslims because they were raised that way. If they tried to leave, who knows what would happen to those women? Yet Vogl chose this, when she could have taken a different path. Any Muslim woman can buy the right-sized scarf and wear it as a hijab. A non-Muslim woman could buy the same scarf and simply wear it as a scarf. Macy’s would actually make more money if they didn’t specifically market the item as a hijab. It sounds like somebody is more interested in indoctrination than they are in making money.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 8, 2018 at 10:34 pm

        The headbag has nothing to do with modesty. It just identifies Muslimahs so that Muslim men will know to rape women not wearing it:

        Qur’an 33:59:

        “O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them when they go abroad. That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not molested.”

      • Dragon says

        Feb 8, 2018 at 10:45 pm

        Agreed. A long black skirt is a long black skirt, regardless of who the wearer is.
        We can see for ourselves that it’s modest. We don’t need someone to tell us the obvious.

    Corporate morality can be determined by reading the laws intended to prevent it.

    If there is enough money to be made and it won’t damage the current and future customer base, then, expect the corporations to jump in with both feet. A half-billion potential customers is worth a pilot project for Macy’s in an uber-liberal climate in which even gay people are supporting the spread of Islam.

    The mainstream media and governments have so completely sold “real” Islam as peaceful that only real-life experience, and a constant barrage of Muslim violence, are slowly changing that perception.

  10. Prabh108 says

    Feb 8, 2018 at 11:51 am

    Semitch creeds have a problem with the belly button – the navel being revealed makes them uncomfortable – probably because such persons who conceal the belly button are, in Philosopher Schopenhauer’s words ‘living graveyards” – In Dharmic religions we revere and respect our ancestors who were (are) great sages and the Progenitors of Mankind. For example Caspian Sea is named after Rishi Kashyap as is Kashmir.

    Clothing is more comfortable when midriff is exposed – for those in shape – correct physique doesn’t happen by chance -this is results of countless aeons of tapsya (austerities) plus correct milk-vegetarian (no egg) diet and proper exercise. Outdoor exercise is always best – we need freedom from Islam just for sake of exercise! Jogging, walking, hiking, running, swimming etc. are far superior than a boring treadmill. Yoga, Callenetics, pilates are also great. Dance is the ultimate art as dancer and dance cannot be separated. Greatest dance is NataRaj of Lord Shiva. (Captain Vadakayil reveals Shiva is a Cosmic Allegory.)

    Crop top with nice decent length skirt looks a lot more feminine than these shitty headbagged sluts – are they hijabi by day & hooker by night – after all, Islamo-slut can marry an INFINITE number of times as can the manwhore MohaMADan male. Islamic marital practices are fully corrupt. Once a slut starts wearing the hijabi-headbag, she is a ‘visible minority’ no matter what the ethnicity. (more gov’t handouts please – jizya)
    Yoga pants, yoga skirts, and Bermuda shorts for warm weather are fine garments too.

    – mercifully in Svarag (actual Vegetaryan Paradise-Heaven of the Dharmic World) there are no visible or invisible minorities. Minorities always ruin the party. (as above, so below)

    In classical Dharmic thought as expressed in Pancatantra – a Sanskrit text that is origin of virtually every story on Earth:
    Three things happen once and once only: 1.monarchs speak once and once only. 2. A maiden is given in marriage once and once only. 3. The virtuous speak once only.

    In Hellenic Greece oval belly button shaped was thought to be more desirable whereas in Ancient India round belly button is thought to be more aesthetically pleasing.

    Any business that caters to the slavery that is Islam will be boycotted by me and my loved ones.
    Now I see why Srila Prabhupada of Iskcon wishes for women to make their own clothing. Ability to design and sew clothing is really a very important life skill. I keep distance from anyone sporting
    Islamo-garb.

    Aryabhatt has section on ideal physiognomy –
    http://aryabhatt.com/women/women.htm
    http://aryabhatt.com/men/face.htm

    I’m uncertain whether or not I have been able to fully convey my sentiments with regards to this news story – in one sentence – I will never (not ever) spend even a cent at a business that caters to slavery of Islam.
    True Dharmic/Vedantist will prefer white, off-white, saffron, pink and light blue clothes as these colours have good energy – semitich creeds prefer black I have noticed. In India, black is colour of political dissent. Navy blue is linked to military.
    The anti-jihad community – true freedom fighters – ought to establish a dress code.

      Feb 8, 2018 at 10:52 pm

      Why is Prabh108 once again pretending that Jews and Christians are enforcing Hijab?

    • Chand says

      Feb 9, 2018 at 1:48 am

      Hindu and Sikh women routinely cover their heads with scarves and sarees. So what is particularly Islamic about head scarves? Many women in the West wear hats, caps and other head adornments. Many Western and enlightened, liberated women choose to cover themselves from head to toe. Are they being forced into Islamic slavery?

      “Semitch creeds have a problem with the belly button – the navel being revealed makes them uncomfortable – probably because such persons who conceal the belly button are, in Philosopher Schopenhauer’s words ‘living graveyards”

      “Minorities always ruin the party.”

      Sooooo saaaaaaaaaad, Prabh108.

      Your belly button watching party’s getting ruined with many women choosing not to reveal them in public. Your idea of paradise seems pretty close to the Muslim one with all those alluring houris, enticing the righteous!

      • Cicero says

        Feb 9, 2018 at 4:42 pm

        Hi. Chand

        Why are you wasting valuable anti – Jihad space in attacking ostensibly Prabh108 but in actual fact your poisonous darts wing home to the body politic of India.?

        Prabh108 is really not the best of Indian posters. Eccentric perhaps but not to be taken too seriously

    I am done with Macy’s.

    They are telling us which direction they want integration to go.

    Style trends change, its primarily a monetary thing, but being covered head to toe with only your face and hands exposed, especially in the hot summer months, is so cruel.

    They are also telling us they support the suppression of women who have no voice.

  12. Voytek Gagalka says

    Feb 8, 2018 at 1:28 pm

    Why they are doing it? Simple reason: follow the money. Since they are all great supporters of unrestricted migration from Mohammedan countries (i.e., unrestricted admittance of Muslims into Western countries), we understand the reason: there is plenty of money to be made from supplying those exotic hijabs and other Muslim garments to multitude of those people, millions in, multi-millions of dollars in coffers of companies like Macy’s. They would make the pact with the devil himself if that would financially benefit them, interest of the western countries be damned.

    • Shmoovie says

      Feb 8, 2018 at 2:42 pm

      Yep, the money– and there is such a lot of it to be spent!
      The hijab-wearers in Mpls & suburbs seem especially drawn to Macy’s (Coach and Kors labels on handbags; North Face for warmth) and Sephora for cosmetics.
      Demands for more racially diverse– Mid-East and Somali– mannequins can’t be far behind.
