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

London Modest Fashion Week celebrates Sharia-compliant clothing weeks after women burn hijabs in Iran

Feb 19, 2018 11:11 am By Robert Spencer

Slaves and slaves-to-be celebrate slavery in London while in Iran, women risk years of imprisonment to fight for freedom.

“London’s ‘Modest’ Fashion Show Celebrates Sharia-Compliant Clothing Weeks After Women Burn Hijabs in Iran,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, February 17, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

London Modest Fashion Week will “celebrate” Britain’s growing sharia-compliant fashion industry — less than two weeks after women living under Islamic fundamentalist regimes risked imprisonment when they burnt their hijabs on No Hijab Day.

Described as an “exciting addition to the London fashion calendar” and “a celebration of style and global cultures”, London Modest Fashion Week will showcase “modest style” lines on the catwalk this weekend.

The show will also put on a sharia legal clinic and zakat (religious tax) hub at the Victoria House, Bloomsbury Square, venue.

Organised by the Islamic clothing curator Haute Elan, the fashion website’s founder Romanna Bint-Abubaker said in 2017: “The fastest growing global consumer is at the moment the Muslim market.

“One in three people by 2030 will be a Muslim in the world — that’s a huge population.”

Last year’s inaugural show was sponsored by the makeup brand Illamasqua which promised would “never knowingly sell” their products to supporters of U.S. President Donald J. Trump. This year, it is sponsored by the major American haircare brand TRESammé.


Promotional video from 2017’s London Modest Fashion Week
Labelling sharia-compliant clothing “modest” begs the question whether women who do not comply with Islamic fundamentalist rules — and are ‘insufficiently’ covered — are deemed “immodest”.Less than two weeks ago, social media was dominated by pictures and videos of women in Middle Eastern countries with strict legal dress codes burning their Islamic headscarves, or hijabs, accompanied by the hashtag #NoHijabDay.

The protests were in support of Iranian women demonstrating against the legally mandated headscarf that has been part of the Islamic Republic’s dress code since the country’s Islamic fundamentalist revolution in 1979.

Breitbart London revealed that the British government was promoting the “liberation” of the Islamic veil by encouraging Foreign and Commonwealth Office staff to wear the garment, issuing free hijabs on World Hijab Day (February 1st)….

    Since the ‘swinging 60’s’, London has been known for its deluded poseurs.

    I recall when ‘mod’ fashion celebrated the mini skirt.

    How times have changed.

      Killer fashion, as they say.

      God help us.

      Thanks to sickening taqqiya farces like this, many of them will probably be converts born as natives in western countries.

    Ever wondered why no company from a muslim country could instead offer this kind of “fashion” in the West? Because they don’t exist. All of “fashion” is haram. End of argument.

    • Stacy Girl says

      Feb 19, 2018 at 5:05 pm

      Absolutely. And why should they?The slobbering infidels will be glad to comply.

    • mummymovie says

      Feb 20, 2018 at 12:26 am

      Good point.

      And how perfectly the superficial, nauseating, moronic fashion industry fits the bill as a mechanism for the PR wing of the muslim brotherhood, who’s behind all of this push for the slave-chic headbag fad nonsense.

      They are laughing their asses off, and they’re laughing at us.

        If islam ever takes over the West, the gay, leftist and exhibitionist fashion industry are the VERY FIRST to be suppressed. Just take Iran as an example.

        “Brian Hoff” is a Muslim who used to be “defender of Islam.” As for his post, huh???

    More evidence that you cannot fix stupid.

    The root problem in my opinion is that despite having a so-called constitutional monarchy, the British people are still SUBJECTS. In other words, despite claiming to be a free and democratic society, the UK population are still subjects. They have whatever rights the government (the “Crown”) says the people can have. Hence, the Brits have no inherent right to arm and protect themselves. They basically are having all this horse hockey shoved down their throats and are stuck with it.

    People of the UK, you have very little time left to stand up to your so-called leaders and stop your enslavement and forced conversions. Since you are unarmed, good luck, you will need it.

    People of the USA, wake up, do not let them disarm us. How many times now have we seen willful inaction on the part of our so called leaders and public servants that has led to the massacre of unarmed Americans? The only response is to disarm the law abiding citizen.

      Back in England, the individual right had been settled in 1689, and thereafter two Acts of Parliament sought to prevent the militia forming without having a direct threat to meet—the Unlawful Drilling Act, 1819, and the Public Order Act, 1936. But no one moved to prevent a spontaneous militia forming in defence of the realm in 1859 (volunteer rifle regiments, rifle clubs and the National Rifle Association, all in reaction to a possible invasion from France) and in 1939, when Essex men formed up as the Legion of Frontiersmen long before the Government called out the militia as Local Defence Volunteers, later renamed the Home Guard.

      (this according to the following)

      • Guy Forester says

        Feb 19, 2018 at 10:20 pm

        Thank you for the reply. However, it still appears that the law abiding citizen has been successfully disarmed. You can do an interesting internet search asking about the NRA sending firearms to arm the Home Guard in 1940 after Dunkirk.

        History speaks louder than I can.

          Feb 20, 2018 at 12:34 am

          True that.

          And now so many in the UK sneer at US firearms rights.

          They have internalized the opinions of their masters, and are once again seeking to disarm the colonies.

    I tried to contact TRESammé to inform them that I will not purchase their products. Unless by Twitter, this appears impossible. I was denied a “live” chat. I am appalled and disgusted by the company’s subversive support of Sharia compliance. Just as L’Oréal recently featured a hijab-wearing model to sell their products, this is beyond the pale. Women have the right to cover or uncover without being regulated. You find the product that pleases you by trial and error. If you cover your hair, who cares what it looks like, except you, personally, and perhaps the husband, father, or brother who is free to beat or honor kill you as they desire or deem appropriate. Does one really care what condition one’s hair is in under terms of Sharia enslavement? Perhaps these companies should reach out to Women’s Prisons to have their products provided for those incarcerated. The almighty buck seems to be the real incentive.

    Feb 19, 2018 at 5:02 pm

    Good, they are restoring their human diginity away from beast way of life reviving Stone âge. UK ,France, Germany and Italy people are wise unlike Americans with wild animal as their leader.

    • Jayell says

      Feb 19, 2018 at 5:36 pm

      Islam restoring human dignity? So define ‘dignity’, Mr Muhammed, and relate it to the pronouncements and actions of your Dark-Age prophet and the ‘dignified’ conduct of your current co-religionists throughout the world, if you can. And do you actually know anything about the stone age and the conduct of stone age societies? Or did you just happen to find that phrase in your rather odd English dictionary? Because I don’t recognise much similarity between what I have studied on the subject and what I notice currently around me here in the UK. And I’m not sure how many intelligent people could reconcile the concept of ‘wild animal’ with President Donald Trump; rather less, I should think, than might make more meaningful associations with certain prominent characters in your neck of the woods; unless, of course, you are correct, in which case I shall pop down to London Zoo and view all the inmates behind bars as potential multi-millionaires.

      Do answer this post, Mr Muhammed, even if you’re a troll.

    • Champ says

      Feb 19, 2018 at 7:19 pm

      “…with wild animal as their leader.”

      The imbecile is talking about his ‘prophet’ muhammad: the most notorious criminal known to man.

        Both my cats and the one from next door have more basic courtesy and civility than the criminal creep Mohammed apparently had. And he was proud of himself! And these muslims are proud of him!! Dear oh dear, there really is no hope, is there?

          Indeed, islam is devoid of *all* hope.

    • Angry Aussie says

      Feb 19, 2018 at 7:57 pm

      Are you a troll Ibrahim, or just a moron? Throwing a piece of cloth over a woman’s head or face doesn’t restore dignity. It only helps cover bruises and gives creepy sex crazed Muslim men the stupid belief that these women will commit zina by making themselves attractive to men if they are uncovered.

      It is my personal belief that castration of Muslim men is a better option to prevent ‘zina”. Much more effective in the long run.

      • Infidel Grandma says

        Feb 19, 2018 at 10:43 pm

        Muslim men are merely life support for penises. Have you seen that our Government is supporting & funding “Modest fashion” here? Bloody Julie Bishop & DFAT need to be reined in. I wouldn’t shed a tear if our Parliament was bombed to ashes with the lot of the Globalist, Islam appeasing traitors in the house. When are the f***ing celebrity feminazis & the gaystapo going to stand up against Muslim barbarianism.

          Feb 20, 2018 at 12:49 am

          “Muslim men are merely
          life support for penises” – brilliant observation, because nothing else about them seems to work properly, just look at the unemployment stats. Angry Australian thinks they should all be castrated; well, if there’s nothing much else to them, a couple of bricks should do the job, but don’t get your thumbsvin the way.

    The militant left went through a transformation in the early 1970’s when it began to look to the past for inspiration instead of to the future. Only the anti-western focus remains and alliances have been pursued wherever they can be found with the leaders of backward, authoritarian cultural and religious bodies. It’s as if the 18th Century pre-revolutionary focus on the ‘noble savage’ has completely taken over from any notion of social progress; and those who brought us the age of space exploration, modern medicine and greater dignity for the individual have been bypassed to take us back into the false security of the past.

    I remember the time some young women liber took they brad off in public and burn then in front of tv. When I was 8 year old some then bare they midrib showing they belly button and bare middle boby it comeing back. There are nonmuslim women who would like to dressed modestly there is near El Paso than odd religious group christian church from germany from the 30 year war which dress like germany house wife covering her hair and wearing than white apron. They where heavily persecute so they went to imperial rissia where the russian church treat then better. They then to mexico and the southwest america. They make greast furniture and cheese.

      People — “Brian Hoff” is a Muslim who used to be “defender of Islam.” He’s mentally-challenged from 1400 years of Moslem in-breeding. He always misuses the word “than.” Pay no attention to the Moslem imbecile.
