GainPeace says that it “works under the umbrella of Islamic Circle of North America.”
The Islamic Circle of North America: “ICNA has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, the ideological forebear of all radical Islamic movements — including Hamas and al-Qaeda. Documents show that Hamas officials have participated in previous ICNA events. ‘The ICNA’s hatred of the Jews is so fierce,’ writes Emerson, ‘that it taunted them with a repetition of what Hitler did to them.’ In his book American Jihad, [terrorism expert Steve] Emerson expounds: ‘The ICNA openly supports militant Islamic fundamentalist organizations, praises terror attacks, issues incendiary attacks on western values and policies, and supports the imposition of Sharia [Islamic law].’ ICNA was named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood document — titled ‘An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America‘ — as one of the Brotherhood’s 29 likeminded ‘organizations of our friends’ that shared the common goal of destroying America and turning it into a Muslim nation. These ‘friends’ were identified by the Brotherhood as groups that could help teach Muslims ‘that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands … so that … God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.’”
At a 2014 ICNA-sponsored protest in Florida, demonstrators chanted “We are Hamas!” One of its leaders was a jihad war criminal in Bangladesh.
“The women who spoke about the billboards at Monday’s news conference also talked about the hatred they have encountered while wearing a hijab. One woman was almost run off the road by someone yelling slurs and her. Another talked about her daughter being called a ‘towel head.'”
Is there any police documentation of these allegations? No one, I am sure, bothered to check. Women in the U.S. are being fed the false narrative that hijab-wearing women are actually being harassed and persecuted in the West — and that standing in solidarity with them is feminist. Yet the harassment and persecution is more manufactured than real. Just weeks ago, an eleven-year-old girl in Toronto made international headlines with her claim that a man had followed her and cut her hijab with scissors. After an investigation, police concluded that the attack never happened.
Likewise, Yasmin Seweid, a Muslim teen who claimed in December 2016 that Trump supporters on a New York subway tore off her hijab and no one in the packed subway car helped her. She, too, gained international media attention, and she, too, made up the whole thing.
Shortly before that, a hijab-wearing Muslim student at San Diego State University also falsely claimed that she was assaulted by Trump supporters.
In July 2017, a Muslim in Britain falsely claimed that a man had pulled off her hijab in a “race hate attack.”
In November 2016, a University of Michigan Muslim student claimed she was “accosted by a white man who told her to remove her hijab or he would set her ablaze with a cigarette lighter.” She also fabricated the whole event.
Nonetheless, on World Hijab Day non-Muslim women all over the country wore hijabs in solidarity with Muslim women who are supposedly plagued by “Islamophobic” harassment.
But where was their concern for Aqsa Parvez?
Her Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it.
Or for Aqsa and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab?
They showed no concern for the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; or for Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; or for Amira Osman Hamid, who faced whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; or for the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized by her family for refusing to wear the hijab; or for the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told they had to wear the hijab or be fired; or for the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab; or for the women in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; or for the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; or for the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; or for the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; or for the women in Iran who protested against the regime, even before the recent uprising, by daring to take off their hijabs; or for the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab; or for the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents; or for 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 for the girl in Italy whose mother shaved her head for not wearing hijab; or for all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab.
Courageous women in the Islamic Republic of Iran are taking off their hijabs as a sign of resistance to the oppressive Sharia regime under which they live, and at least 29 women have been arrested for doing so. Who is standing in solidarity with them?
“Islamic group launches hijab billboard campaign,” by Marcella Raymond, WGN, February 19, 2018:
OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. — A local Islamic group launched a billboard campaign Monday to educate people about the hijab, the headscarf that’s often worn by Muslim women.
The billboards are the first of their kind in the country, designed by a group called GainPeace, which encourages non-Muslims to call the organization and ask questions to gain a better understanding of why women wear the hijab. The billboards draw a similarity to the Christian religion where Mary is considered the mother of Jesus. She also wore a hijab.
The billboards are located on Interstate 294 near Interstate 88, and Interstate 55 and LaGrange Road.
“Wearing the hijab is 100 percent my choice. As contrary to the popular belief, hijab in no way oppresses us. In fact, it indicates the opposite as hijab symbolizes the power to women, and not inferiority,” Sara Ahmed, GainPeace volunteer, said.
“Hijab is a simple yet powerful reminder of strength. I stand here today so that generations tomorrow do not feel deprived or threatened by their choice of dress. So that they may have the courage to stand by their beliefs, and so that this piece of cloth does not label them or categorize them with an unwanted label,” Kiran Malik, GainPeace volunteer, said.
The women who spoke about the billboards at Monday’s news conference also talked about the hatred they have encountered while wearing a hijab. One woman was almost run off the road by someone yelling slurs and her. Another talked about her daughter being called a “towel head.”…

The “Perfect Man” billboard needs to be erected right next to this one..

Lots of deep truth twisting in the quotes from the above article:
““Wearing the hijab is 100 percent my choice. As contrary to the popular belief, hijab in no way oppresses us. In fact, it indicates the opposite as hijab symbolizes the power to women, and not inferiority,” Sara Ahmed, GainPeace volunteer, said.”
It is always 100% the woman’s choice to keep hijab, just like it is always 100% the kuffar’s choice to accept islam, pay the jizya or die.
She is perfectly free to choose abuse, beatings, rape and death. Such wonderful liberties islam brings with it.
It is true that hijab doesn’t oppress women, but only within a frame of reference where women who do not wear the veil make themselves the target of male abuse. The greater oppression is for those who choose not to wear it. By comparison, women keeping hijab are liberated and ‘powerful’, only because they are able to better fend off the otherwise legalized violence of the muslim men.
What a bizarre ‘reality’ this suggests.
“Hijab is a simple yet powerful reminder of strength. I stand here today so that generations tomorrow do not feel deprived or threatened by their choice of dress. So that they may have the courage to stand by their beliefs, and so that this piece of cloth does not label them or categorize them with an unwanted label,” Kiran Malik, GainPeace volunteer, said.”
It is a reminder of the strength of islam to legitimize the abuse of women. Power is only to be found through group membership. Without that, the individual is stripped of all power and loses the protection of the community.
She stands there so that coming generations will be threatened if they make their 100% free choice to not wear a head covering outside of the home. The lack of that piece of cloth will label them with the unwanted tag of being an unprotected slut, and the equivalent of a t-shirt saying ‘Rape Me’ on the back.
These disgusting liars are trying to enslave you women. They want to strip away several hundred years of Western progress in women’s rights, and expose you to the very worst of male desires. Just like the marxist-feminists actually.

Yes the Pefect Man bill boards.
As many muslims will also be looking then another billboard
Who is the father of Jesus? with further points from the koran verses confirming this.
A bit further down I have commented with further elaboration and links on that question, that shows the koran contradictions http://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/qi030.html (in moderation for the moment as there are 3 links).
Another way to break islam, sowing seeds. and creating doubts about the verses of Mohammad.
Further doubt can also be debated where Mohammad had got it wrong, with satanic verses.
It is attacking the very credibility of Mohammad, and how he got things wrong.
A Jesus muslim may be a way of defanging the violent verses.

Robert, here’s a little hijab-related story from Australia.
‘Moutia Elzahed, the wife of jailed Islamic State extremist Hamdi Alqudsi, allegedly remained seated in front of District Court Judge Audrey Balla multiple times in November and December 2016, saying she only stood for Allah. But the niqab-wearing Muslim woman stood for magistrate Carolyn Huntsman at Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Monday, after being charged with disrespectful behaviour in court.’
Photos of the charming Muslima in question can be seen on the news.com.au/ Channel 9 reports. My only question is this: How on earth could the learned Magistrate be certain the accused person is the one actually standing now?

Illinois: Hamas-linked Muslim group launches hijab propaganda billboard campaign
………………………
Just repulsive. Muslim women wear the slave rag both as Islamic gang colors and so that Muslims will rape infidel women instead:
Qur’an 33:59: “O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested…”
The idea that the Virgin Mary wanted men to rape others is just grotesque calumny—but this sort of attempted apprporiation of Christianity is very common by dishonest Muslims. *Ugh*.
mummymovie says
Yep, it’s a brilliant system: the muslim men put their women out there in slavebags to represent, as an ever-increasing sign that freedom-hating muslims walk among us and plot against us all the while.
The MB and ICNA have been big on persuading American “feminists” to ditch the pink hats for the slavebag in this sickening taqqiya farce, all as the crackdown on Iranian women continues.
Shameless liars.
Hard to believe people actually are buying this crap, but have no doubt, they are.

It’s actually all part of the old “terror in their hearts” program of instilling fear and disheartening us, while gradually implementing sharia at the same time: which is largely why the brotherhood gets their jollies so with pushing the head bags everywhere.
And it is disheartening, I’ll give it that.

Thanks for the resource list.
The article about “I don’t oppose hijab because I was forced; I oppose hijab because it sucks”. Is a really interesting perspective from an ex muslima.
She makes the point that compulsion is only part of the problem. The bigger problem is the values one is forced to internalize when the hijab is worn.

Muslim women suffer under the most regressive religion and social norms. This stupid billboard doesn’t persuade me in the least. I have read the Quran. The Quran says women are inferior to men. We as women are destined for hellfire according to the Quran. We are deemed less intelligent in Islam. Gender Equality in Islam is a myth that will subjugate women and set back women’s rights to 1,000 years.

So, as I don’t know the answer, I’ll ask:
As Mary Magdalene was a Jew, did Jewish women wear such as mere custom 2000 years ago, or did the OT mandate it?
JW_Reader says
I think there should be a #TryMiniSkirt day for Muslim women wearing the hijab. The coming month of Ramadan beginning Tuesday, May 15 is perfect for that. Let the muslim women wearing hijab prove that they are really at liberty to wear anything they like. And what could be more comfortable than mini skirt on hot summer days during the Ramadan this year?
Eur says
While Muslims do not accept proselytizing, they do not stop doing wild proselytizing in the West taking advantage of freedom of expression. The Amish do not do this kind of proselytizing, why do Muslims do it? The Amish are a perfect example of a religious, orthodox, peaceful community that lives in its own way without destroying society.Let no one try to explain the Gospel, Hinduism, Buddhism near a Muslim community (even in the West … or even explain the humanistic and secular way of life … Can you imagine such a poster in Morocco explaining the trinity or simply asking for religious freedom? Muslims: in the West we already have women “with hijab” … we call them nuns. The nuns are a tiny minority within society, from which they usually retire or collaborate in humanitarian actions where they do not doubt It is not necessary to be covered like a ghost to have honor, the Muslims try to cover the West with their veil of ignorance while pretending that the rear (Islamic world) remains so conservative and orthodox. West if there are people who convert to Islam, mostly imbalanced people who find in that sect the acceptance they need and in the Islamic world or little by little the youth asks for freedom. Although Muslims intend to keep tied to what they call their youth … they will end up claiming freedom.

State that at an inter faith sell out meeting. How can any one of the church hierarchical dispute that, and the muslims will have a massive rat to swallow.
Can we help muslims become “Jesus muslims” that then shows a way to take the violence out of the koran.
Eur says
Simply that there was a day without hijab to show solidarity with those women who are forced to wear it (either directly by their husbands, fathers, brothers … or pressured by the Islamic community), would be a breakthrough. But it is clear that Muslims will never recognize that there is pressure for women to wear a veil. It is more than evident, as this announcement shows, that the Islamic community demands, demands, pressures for women to be covered. What Muslims call honor is a euphemism, they should call it … control. The veil is the maximum exponent of the patriarchal Islamic society, a controlling society that denies individual freedom. Once the women dress the veil … they can not choose their way anymore, they can not go to concerts, they can not go to bars … they must behave like perfect Muslimas and there are Muslims to remind them.Fuck your rules, fucking Muslims.

Using Jesus and his Mother Mary is Islam’s way of justifying the hijab, another lie to seduce women into Islam.
