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

Australian Broadcasting Corporation lauds hijab as “sensuous,” “source of empowerment”

Jun 19, 2018 5:25 pm By Robert Spencer

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s slant on this issue was predictable, but not for that any more excusable. The real women who need “empowerment” are not those who wear the hijab, who are praised and hailed in article after article like this one, and celebrated in World Hijab Day, but those women who have been brutalized and even killed for not wearing the hijab. Would Aqsa Parvez agree that the hijab is “sensuous” and a “source of empowerment”? Her Muslim father and brother choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it. Would Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab?

Those who claim to be deeply concerned that hijab-wearing women are subjected to wholesale discrimination and harassment in the West, which isn’t even true, 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.

Ask all those women, and the innumerable others who have suffered because of the hijab, how much of a “source of empowerment” they think it is.

“Western Sydney poet Maryam Azam explores the modern experience of wearing the hijab,” by Claire Nichols, ABC.net.au, June 19, 2018 (thanks to P.):

For the poet Maryam Azam, the experience of wearing the hijab can mean many different things. At times the headscarf is soft and sensuous. At others, it’s a symbol of power.

The silk of my scarf
is sensual on my skin & the drapes
fall more precisely than any hairstyle.
From You Can’t Touch Me

“There’s not just one state of being associated with wearing the hijab,” she says.

“At times wearing a hijab is very much about putting on your spiritual mind-frame. So when you’re wearing it, for example, you don’t feel like doing something that’s not really the right thing to do.

“At other times wearing a hijab can feel a lot like armour. Because I know my body is covered, and the shape of my body is covered, when I have interactions with some men out on the street, if somebody’s trying to ogle at me, I feel really empowered because I know they can’t see anything.”

The Western Sydney poet was inspired to write about her own experience of wearing the hijab after exploring the representation of hijabi women in contemporary poetry for a university honours project.

“What I noticed was that women who wear the hijab or the niqab, or any kind of Islamic veiling, tended to be represented in very much orientalised terms,” she says.

“It was the typical, repressed woman, silenced, without a voice.”

The poetry was a source of frustration for Azam, who found that most people writing about the hijab had never worn one.

“Being a hijab wearer myself, I found these representations really disempowering,” she says.

“The idea that they were painting about the experiences of these hijab-wearing women was totally alien to me.”

So she decided to write some poetry of her own.

The result is The Hijab Files, a book of poems that explores a contemporary, Australian experience of wearing the headscarf.

There are lunchtime prayers amongst the disinfectant smells of a Sydney school sick bay, and scarves are hot and itchy in the Australian sun.

The book celebrates the joys and frustrations of wearing the hijab.

In A Brief Guide to Hijab Fashion, Azam lists the different looks a wearer can enjoy: a laff scarf for long days at the office, a khaleeji for a hot Sydney summer, a regular scarf twist-tied behind the neck for Bali resort-chic.

The hijab is a source of empowerment, making her “as distant and inviolable as the moon”.

But there are challenges, too. A young Azam is insulted by a man in a tunnel at Blacktown station who tells her, “Go and hide behind your effing scarf”.

A friend stops wearing the hijab for fear of discrimination….

        This sort of stupidity is NOT born of “Darwinian delusions”.

        For their part, Muslims are simply brainwashed from infancy into following their idiotic religion. But the politically correct liberals of the Regressive Left had to work long & hard to create their perfect storm of bad ideas, which has resulted in millions of willfully ignorant, Islam-friendly, cultural relativist fools.

        “…………….Darwinian delusions”…………..??!!

        What has Darwin got to do with this?
        Darwin revealed the variety in natural forms and behaviors.
        So it is with human culture and individual humans. Some like to wear the hijab or a scarf. Many don’t. In Sharia states it is a law and is an issue and is a infringement on individual freedom. But in free lands like Australia why would Maryam Azam fear to keep her head uncovered? She just wants to wear it and praise it and has the right to. Or does she? Opposing hijab could lead to another kind of cultural enforcement.
        And it is also a fashion statement and just another style of clothing.
        As are revealing garments. Just varieties of adornment. No need to freak out really.

          Nonsense. The hijab is Gang Colours and the Sharia Badge. And… it’s also a signpost that tells the Muslim male “don’t-rape-me-‘rape-that-slutty-infidel-female-over-there’

          Chahdortt Djavann, who experienced forced veiling as a schoolgirl – a *young* schoolgirl – in Iran after Khomeini came to power, states plainly that “”The veil has never been innocent or innocuous. It has always signified the submission of women to men and the denial of legal rights to women in Islamic countries.”

          More, also from Djavann: “The political, ideological and psychological impact of the veil goes far beyond its appearance… If this weren’t the case, why would the Islamists make it their main focus?… It constitutes a constant call to order by Islamic law.”

          More – “”the veil is the symbol, the flag and the keystone of the Islamic system.”

          The hijab is no different from the jihad beard or the black flag of jihad.

          In a free country a hijab-wearer strutting past a group of unislamically-clad non-Islamic women is effectively like a Nazi-party member with a Swastika armband strutting past a group of Jews. Or like someone in a KKK hood and robe prancing past a group of free blacks.

          For the flip side of the hijab is this: whilst signalling that its wearer is a fully-owned properly-submissive Camp Follower of the Allah Gang, it *also* indicates that any NON-hijabbed female in the vicinity is.. a slut, a tart, a whore, an ‘un-owned’ female, ‘uncovered meat’… therefore, **lawful prey**. The hijab allows Mohammedan males to identify their target… the non-hijabbed female (though often enough they decide that a hijabbed or even be-burka’d woman who is *out on her own without her mahram* is ‘fair game’, as well).

          PS Musilm girls in the west have been *murdered*, in ‘honor’ (sic: horror) murders, to punish them for… not wearing hijab. In the series Undercover Mosque an imam was overheard telling the assembled mohammedans that once a Muslim girl is ten she *must* wear the hijab… and if she doesn’t… “we hit her”.

          Chand, Maryam Azam is just spreading lies about what the slave scarf really is. More propaganda trying to paint the female hating death cult as normal when it is the opposite of normal, the opposite of empowering women. You can bet that there are many muslim girls that are forced to wear it by their owners, fathers, husbands, brothers and uncles. Why do you think that so many muslim girls have been honor killed in the west? For every girl murdered for refusing to wear that stupid cloth, there are probably many others that are afraid so keep wearing it.

          This hijab thing is because of some mens problems not learning to control their dong.
          USA tries to teach it at least. But I have to admit that when I was 20, I visited Morocco with friend on summer break. We got there through Spain and the whole way down we were accosted with verbals, whistles, bumping up against us and it Morocco it was So bad. But we (in our ignorance) thought we saw a convent of nuns wearing black bags and saw no one bothered them. So we asked the ‘nuns’ (who we thought were Catholic) if they could give us one or sell us one. A nun should us on the street markets where we could buy so we did until we could get out of that town! The salesmen even wanted to barter with us and brought out mint tea and the whole bit. We were so young! But that was years ago. I can only imagine how much worse today. But thats the feeling and the habit put on these women who are not allowed to feel their own humaness. Those men want them invisible unless in the bedroom and women who don’t conform are fair game to snatch at or even rape. Thats the fears they have to get over and respectful men could help. Sex is still so misused. Now even calling their cover up sensual?? Is that supposed to make it OK?

      Religion and Moham’s evil cult only appeared at the same time as ‘civilisation’. People got along fine without ‘a spirit in the sky’ to control their lives. Religion is all about controlling people.

        Would you really like to live in an uncontrolled world? Everyone wants the Ten Commandments. Murderers don’t want to be killed. Adulterers don’t want their spouses cheating on them. Thieves don’t want their ill-gotten gains stolen from them. Liars don’t want to be lied to. Gossips don’t want to be gossiped about, etc. We would be back to Nietche’s: “Peace is a man sitting on his doorstep with a bow and arrow in his hand.” If there is no God, there is no soul. Men and women would be nothing more than chemical reactions – in which case, charity to help such people would be a total waste of money and killing someone would be no more serious than flushing a bottle of Draino down the toilet. It would be interesting to see how long you would survive in such a world. Are you an Arian Superman now? People do tend to age or become ill, you know.

        True religion was around for over 4000 years. The cult of islam has no connection to God but is similar to the Nazis in their political ideology. Do not compare a cult that commands rape and murder to true religion. You do not have to believe in God we will not behead or murder you. Christianity is a FREE choice. When Christians worship, the family sits together mother father and children. In islam only men are allowed in the main areas women are sent to some back room like the dirty females they are.

        Islam has murdered millions in their quest to conquer the world for a pagan moon god. In fact many studies estimate close to a billion people and let’s not even count the rape of non muslim women because the count of rape victims is even higher.

        Atheist comes in second on the murder of innocents in the name of atheism, however they come a distant second.

        Christianity is the opposite of islam. But I am interested in what point you are trying to make because it can not be that islam is somehow okay???

      Meanwhile these girls can enjoy the “freebies” that come with suck-holing dependency and also enjoy trotting around like cloistered nuns displaying to outsiders that they must surely be “holier-than-thou”.

      They should stay in their own corrals as we don’t like being reminded of the wellsprings of the garb – a belief system that loves to apply terms such as pigs, apes, infidels, and KAFIRS to its unwilling audience.

    Does she refer to the “power” when a moslim female wearing it goes on a killing campaign, such as chasing little kids down the street, threatening them with a knife?

    Does she mean the “power” felt by the covered moslim female stabbing an Israeli officer to death?

    Does she refer to the “power” felt by a female moslim carrying the head of a child around the city square after having slashed it from the child’s body?

    Does the moslim, so full of balderdash, believe these things are “the right things to do”?

    She claims to feel “sensuous”. Is that in the form of “sexually attractive” to the men she hopes are “ogling” her on the street?

    Such nonsense in the guise of superior knowledge and intellect. Puke.

I dare not make any comment to that woman in the headscarf, I just have to very politely keep to the business in hand. I also think, just why can this woman get away with not following normal dress codes for her profession or office situation. It also looks entirely unprofessional.

        I look if I wish, stare if I want to and they look back. There is no fear on my face.

        In those countries where it is now illegal to complain, or even just tell the truth, it would be abnormal if some didn’t feel as though these women hold a “power” over them.

        If the terms “racist,” “bigot,” and “homophobic” hadn’t been so successful at closing the mouths of critics of behaviors, moslims wouldn’t have found it so easy to create their own term to put fear into the hearts of those who wish to speak freely, or just “dislike” islam.

        And yes, it is unprofessional to insist on wearing what can even be dangerous to health and life…as in hospitals, cafes, etc. where germs can lurk in dirty scarves.

    Whether or not Hutterite women and girls wear long dresses with dated patterns and head scarfs — which they do — is none of my business either. Are they being forced to wear them? Of course. Would they be punished if they didn’t? Probably. What about Ukrainian women wearing babushkas? Some teenage girls consider that their parents are being abusive when they enforce a dress code that they dislike.
    The only thing I would ban is that which covers the entire face leaving only the eyes visible because that is really a mask and avoids identification.

        So?
        The ABC may be being a little silly with this story but if this woman wants to rationalize wearing the hijab who cares? Silly? Perhaps but it’s up to her. When we see a muslim woman wearing a hijab in public it does not mean that she is being abused or is afraid of her life if she doesn’t. The point that ABC might be making is that some muslim women are CHOOSING to wear it. There is no reason for the rest of us to shun her or treat her differently because of it.

        That some muslim females in our society are forced to wear a hijab by their families is none of my business. HOWEVER, when they are beaten or murdered FOR ANY REASON the law should and must step in.

        That some countries enforced wearing the hijab with imprisonment or worse is deplorable and we should oppose that any way we can but we probably can’t do much.

          Rarely: Might as well be talking about the display of a swastika as the display of an hijab as you have. I mean large numbers wore the swastika willingly in Nazi Germany but others did so out of fear (e.g., many in the Hitler Youth who both they and their parents had no choice in the matter).

          The hijab is as much a sartorial representation of an ideology which is a mortal enemy of freedom as was the swastika of Nazism. Who cares if some Muslim women wear the hijab willingly? Many Germans displayed a swastika willingly. I hope you gather my overall point and see the big picture here but I suspect you won’t due to your making such a lame “argument” in the first place.

          Thanks Wellington, as I view it in similiar light.
          That “swastika arm band” represents an ideology as espoused by Mohammad in the koran, hadith and sira, as claimed “We love death” and “Death to the infidel” and cause a fearful response that some would feel.
          Survivors of the atrocities inflicted in the name of Hitler and the Nazis, wanted to live their lives with no reminders.
          Even the hell of death, wounded, destruction that many service men endured in battling that Nazi ideology.
          Like the surviviors of Japaneses prisoner of war camps, seeing the flag of the “Rising Sun”, reminded them of nightmare times.

          Then the “flag waving” supremacy, pressure of islam for any one wanting to leave that ideology of “Death”

          Feeling sensuous, yet men are not supposed to oogle her, but would that sensous feeling of power, be part that islam gives in ripping some ones heart out, hopes out, in escaping islam, now that they are in the West?

          Wake up, christianblood, and realize that you have “achieved” a difficult thing, i.e., becoming a parody of yourself in your “All Russia, All The Time, Russia Does Everything Right And the West Is Horrible” posts which are far more rooted in risibility than veracity.

          Russia liberated Greece, Bulgaria, Armenia, Serbia and other Orthodox Christians from Ottoman rule and lost tens of thousands of soldiers in the process while America was not even a viable nation yet! Russia has a thousand year old struggle with islamists and always won, even when Western powers supported islamist invasions! Russia’s strength is Christ and islam will NEVER be a threat to Russia because Russia has its spine and is unashamedly rooted in Christ! You cannot say that about the anti-Christ, pro-islamic, postmodernist and morally degenerate West that has NOTHING to stand for and has NO roots to stand that for! Please understand the fact that from Afghtanistan, to Bosnia, Kosovo, Libya, Yemen, Egypt and Syria it is NOT Russia but it is the US and its European vassals that are always in bed and whole-heatedly support the islamic jihadists even when these islamic jihadists are mass-murdering Christians and other minorities like it happened in Iraq and Syria and Kosovo! Just to give you a fresh example, US and its satanic Nato vassals supported Kosovo and Bosnian islamic jihadists, bombed Christian Serbs and created two islamic states (Bosnia & Kosovo) in Eastern Europe! Please watch the video clip below and see the destruction of hundreds of Christian monasteries and churches destroyed by the islamic jihadists that America and West supported in Metohija Serbia:

          Chrisitanblood: You didn’t address what I wrote, i.e., that Putin has shilled for Islam as has the Russian Patriarch. Instead, you decided to provide a very tendentious history lesson.

          As for liberation, America has liberated more people than any polity in history. Without America, South Koreans would not be free, Japan is free because of the extraordinary enlightened treatment of the Japanese by America, and specifically General Douglas MacArthur, after WWII. Western Europe remained free first and foremost after WWII because of America. The Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan and NATO insured that many nations would get back on their feet and remain free as Russia enslaved Eastern Europe and repressed its own people. Moreover, as WWII was coming to an end, anyone who could get away from Russian soldiers and make it to American or British lines did so. No one wanted to be liberated by Russian soldiers because it meant replacing one tyranny with one another. So, don’t talk to me about liberation. America is the greatest liberator in history, though I readily concede we have made mistakes at times but they pale in comparison to Russia’s mistakes.

          The difference–as I have noted before–is that Anti-Jihadists criticize dhimmitude *wherever* we find it–in the West or anywhere else, whereas “Christianblood” refuses to take any issue with Putin or Orthodox Church leaders appeasing and even shilling for Islam.

          He is fine with Shari’ah practiced on Russian soil, and has even defended the practice.

          As for his claim that Islam presents no threat to Russia, I have noticed that he has no problem with Jihad terror attacks in Russia–even attacks on Christians at worship.

          Instead, he holds the only threat to Russia to be that the West allows gay people to live without threat of death.

          Personally, I don’t want to see *any* of us at risk of Jihad terror–not Westerners, not Russians, and not anyone else.

There is talk of Islamic girls feeling “sensual” after FGM. HOW??? FGM slices off the parts that would make her experience sexual pleasure, other than the vagina itself. They will kill Muslim women for talking to non-Muslims. A girl without a hijab can have acid thrown in her face. Non-muslims are free game for absolutely anything. They have no standing in Islamic courts. Pedophelia is wonderful. Killing and torturing animals is great. Non-muslims can’t hold good jobs because they are not allowed to be in a position where they can tell a Muslim what to do. Muslim’s can’t even wish them a good day when they meet on the street. etc, etc. I don’t think you could invent a worse “religion”.

      Jun 19, 2018 at 8:17 pm

      I totally agree, DragarOz. Both the ABC and SBS are nothing but left wing propaganda outfits which spend all their time trying to destroy Australia whether by destroying the economy with their climate change nonsense leading to our high electricity costs which destroy businesses and impose big costs on average households, support for far left gender fluidity rubbish or support for Islam because it is their ally in trying to destroy our western civilisation’s values. I’d close both propaganda outfits down. It would improve and definitely strengthen Australia if their poison was gone. It’s sickening to see so much taxpayers’ money spent on outfits that are always seeking to bring Australia to its knees. I saw a comment by someone on Andrew Bolt’s blog where the person said the ABC stood for “Australian Brainwashing Corporation”. An accurate comment. The only thing I ever watch on the ABC is a few minutes of Parliamentary Question Time from time to time. I wouldn’t waste my time watching their version of the news.

(ABC especially is essential for outback regions. If funding is cut then hard-working country people will suffer. I lived in remote Pilbara region for several years – commercial channels focus on capital cities’ wants constantly.)

      Of course there would be howls of protest from the PC lefties if both sides’ worldviews could be seen by curious “fence-sitters” (no clear opinion either way).

        Joey, I’m sure you know that the ABC has a charter to present a balanced coverage of news, which is something that I often hear Andrew Bolt mentioning. It’s their legal obligation as he says. But, of course, they simply ignore it. As DragarOz says, it has been taken over by the left years ago and they aren’t going to give it up. As I said, I haven’t gone near it for any news coverage for at least 15 years or so (I only hear about the ABC brigade’s latest atrocities from Bolt’s blog or radio presenters on 2gb, otherwise I wouldn’t know what the traitors are up to), but I do believe it is always trying to do damage. It probably does win some people over with its BS. Hence, I’d sell it off. Save the 1 billion dollars spent on it each year. It seems that no politicians have the guts to really take it on because they know it will try to destroy them. So I’m pretty sure nothing will happen to it. I hear what you say about freedom of speech. I would usually agree but, after all, the ABC is ignoring its legal obligation to present a balanced coverage of things, so to hell with it. Get rid of it.

          Jun 20, 2018 at 1:25 am

          TG, thanks for your response.
          ABC does have serious issues it needs to have solved. Let’s say the decision was made to axe ABC:

          1.Q: Would commercial channels play lower rating TV shows?
          A: Remember what happened to 90s era Good News Week (comedy news quiz show), shifted to commercial channel in 1999?
          ABC fans resented its dumbing down, Channel 10 (?) viewers found it wasn’t their cup of tea. It was axed relatively quickly in 2000.
          Not everyone likes standard TV shows. Thank God for the internet!

          2. Would other public multi-cultural channel SBS assimilate some of ABC’s services?
          If YES – then that channel would get more viewers.
          That would be way worse. It has extreme leftist propaganda, pro-Muslim, pro-alternative sexuality (consensual), very anti-Christian worldview. It is hard to find a movie that is not MA+.
          Kids programs on same channel as p*rn? Just not feasible.

          If ABC is removed then only matter of time before SBS would be removed as well. Would commercial channels suddenly provide for two smaller and very different demographic groups? Of course not. Profits put before people always.

          More people would resort to internet for TV/ movies. That would result to even more people being exposed to extremist minority group propoganda, disgusting entertainment etc.

          People tend to take easy option first. Remove ABC and people will end up viewing questionable stuff very quickly. Not everyone knows how to use keywords effectively on Google/ youTube.

          So I from see glass-half full perspective where it comes to ABC. I have seen “the dark side” and the less innocent people stumble into it the better!

          P.S. One of the many good things about being a Christian is the freedom to disagree on non-essential matters without the fear of jihad.

          They are good points you make, Joey. I should say that all the commentators I hear talking about the issue of selling off the ABC, say that it’ll never happen anyway. They mainly tend to say that it is bloated and needs to be reduced in size and power. Although I think that the Liberal Party meeting last weekend actually had a majority of its members voting to privatise the ABC, didn’t it? I was surprised when I heard it. They must be as annoyed as I am at the relentlessly biased coverage provided by the ABC. I guess I’m different to you in that you seem to actually watch and listen the ABC whereas I gave up on that ages ago. If I did watch it I suspect I’d become so annoyed that I’d throw my TV out the window. Thanks for your comments anyway. I agree that, as Christians or just civilised people, we can disagree with becoming violent. I’m sure that someone needs to force the ABC to get back to its charter to be balanced in presentation of news

          Jesus, unlike mohammad treated women as his equals the complete opposite of islam. He could care less about what women or men wear, (doing double duty about KFC) or what they eat. He cares only about what is in their minds and hearts.

You can’t drink alcohol on earth, but their heaven is supposed to be a never-ending drunken orgy with women who cannot experience any sexual pleasure from men, so they might as well be blow-up dolls. Life on earth is to look on everyone who chooses a decent religion as monsters on the way to hell who must be killed or converted. Here, you can kill, torture and maim all non-Muslims and steal whatever they have, etc. A God who devised this toilet religion for his followers is to be held in utter contempt and hatred, Certainly not worship.

        You said: “No women in her right mind embraces the slave scarf or tent.” That means there are many women in the Middle East who are not in their right minds. I worked in Saudi Arabia. I’ve seen little girls who did not have to wear the outfit wearing it like little girls in the West put on high heels so they can feel like grown-up bimbos. Yes, the higher the heel, the lower the IQ.

        Grown up women who stayed with their kids after minor sugery rushed to put on their hijabs when we entered the wards. As an ENT Surgeon I had to see patients’ faces. Many of the women patients would only lift the flap enough to uncover their mouths if I had to look into their throats. Many would also pull away a bit of material if I had to look into their ears. This distorted the ear canal and I couldn’t look in. I later gave up.

        The maternity ward was off limits to all but the maternity ward staff. If I reveived a request for a consultation from it someone had to accompany me.

        I can assure you, for every woman who does not want to wear the outfit there are many who happily wear it.

The impression I often get is that Muslims wear the head gear, at least partly, to make the point that they are separate from the non-Muslims. It’s making the point that it is them and us. They’re not going to get along and integrate with us. And, then, of course, the Koran says Muslims are the best of people and we, non-Muslims, are the worst of people, etc. It’s a bad attitude.

But thanks for sharing with the rest of us infidels about your no doubt painful journey from submission (“Islam”) to freedom – at least, religious freedom and the natural right to believe what you wish about religion (of any kind!). You’ve more than earned it!!

    On a hot summer’s day here in Sydney Australia, many of them make their way to our beaches and go into the water while wearing those terrible medieval robes. When they get into trouble it is very difficult for the life-savers to rescue them.

    • Anne Smith says

      Jun 20, 2018 at 5:00 am

      Perhaps warning signs should be put up warning that wearers of burhas will not be rescued because of the danger.

      I would not have thought it was very hygienic to wear full clothing in the water.

    • JM says

      Jun 20, 2018 at 8:50 am

      @ JM

      Do the Aussie life-savers at least receive a bonus for handling hazardous materials? And is a male life-saver offered competent legal representation if a Muslima sues him for touching her “sensuous” body during the rescue?

      Several years ago, a Muslim father physically prevented a male beach lifeguard from rescuing his teenage daughter, to safeguard her modesty. The poor girl drowned.

      Had the lifeguard managed to break away from the father and rescue the daughter, I can’t help but wonder if the father would have sued the lifeguard for Islamophobia.

      Recently, I had a funny encounter with a young lady of Turkish origin who claimed that the hijab only “confirmed” her being a “good” muslima.

      Well, then I told her that her make-up, perfume, her shoes AND her wearing jeans were all considered “haram” by most of the “better” muslims (aka imams). Fortunately, none of her (male) “cousins” were around. 😉

  27. Najwa Laylah says

    “Here’s how you can keep the two words straight.

    If you mean lovely, pleasurable, or experienced through the senses, use sensuous; if you mean self-gratifying or pertaining to physical desires, use sensual. Sensuous thoughts have a pleasant effect on your senses as well as your mind. Sensual thoughts are erotic, sexually arousing, maybe even lewd.”
    (Charles Harrington Elster, Verbal Advantage: Ten Easy Steps to a Powerful Vocabulary.

    Random House, 2009)

    And to obsess over the pleasures of the hijab is just Orientalism under a less specific name.

    Muslim women!Take off the hijab and leave Islam, that would be the first step toward true empowerment!
    Your hijab is a sign of your subservience to Allah, to sharia law which treats you as inferior beings, and to your husbands and male relatives

          “Bagging” women actually *disempowers* them from their own sexual allure. In this way the male members of the tribe didn’t get “inspired” and attracted emotionally and physically. This meat-counter method of bagging female powers I suspect stunted muslim emotional and spiritual growth – but it did keep them from killing each other and stepping out of line. Women were carted around and served up to male appetites kind of in a safe, controlled,”doggy-bag style”.

    You just don’t understand. The problem goes much wider than the ABC in Australia. Yes, they are a lot of politically correct imbeciles. Both my car and home radios are permenantly tuned to ABC Classic – beautiful, relaxing music as I’m typing this – Ave Maria. ABC often has guests in the daytime. Mostly from the artistic communities, but occasionally people more in touch with reality. Before the election of the pope they had a raving queer who talked about it. The candidate from some African country had apparently spoken out against homosexuality and I thought the guest was going to vomit so upset he was. To this guest the suitability of a papal candidate was in direct proportion to how strongly the candidate embraced homosexuality. The female presenter agreed. I wanted to phone in and tell the guest that whichever candidate won, there would be some good news for him – the new pope would be coming out on that balcony dressed in drag.

    Another time they had a woman who did some relief work in Africa. According to her she empowered the women (that means told them not to listen to their husbands and be disagreeable) and got them to dance and sing. The female presenter was very enthusiastic about this. They thought that would be the end of Africa’s problems. Really? The end of Africa’s woes will be achieved by turning it into a patchwork of Amazonian states where unpleasant singing and dancing bitches rule the roost? And taxpayer money is wasted on this nonsense.

    There is more. But let these two suffice. The root cause of the problem is the absolute stupidity of the arts and humanities monkeys in charge of so much in today’s world. It is impossible to underestimate their average intelligence. Best not to take their stupidities seriously and just turn a deaf ear towards them. In the end death will come as a relief to those of us more intelligent. All we have to do is wait.

    Suddenly, Gabriel appeared, holding a hijab out to him.
    “What is this?,” asked the girl-fondling messenger of rapists’ paradise.
    “Tell your wifes to wear a hijab henceforth. They have seen your puny boner, and now they are making fun of you. But no woman must be allowed to laugh at men, since men are the masters of women (surah 4,34). Why are you always so forgetful?”
    “Sorry, but I was trying all night to get an erection. That’s an arduous task, you know,” answered MO-sex, the ever-lecherous apostle of free sex with slave girls
    “Shut up, you slave, you worm, you maggot,” Gabriel reprimanded him sternly.
    “Yes, yes, master,I’ m doing your bidding right away,” answered MO-Gollum sheepishly.

    Does the Australian Broadcasting corporation have any idea what allah thinks of women?

    Perhaps they would like to know..

    The testimony of a woman =1/2 that of a man k 2:282
    A son’s inheritance=twice that of a daughter k 4:11
    A man can have 4 wives k4:3 but a woman cannot have 4 husbands{sarc}…’cos ..that would be wrong.
    Child brides are ok according to allah k 65:4

    (in islam,if a woman is raped,she needs several witnesses{how convenient for the male rapist is that?})

    allah the misogynist.
    muhammed the misogynist.

    And the real reason they need to wear the hijab?To protect them from the lusty,devout,muslim males..
    After all,the sight of a woman’s hair might tip the devout muslim male overboard:he might not be able to control himself.And then it would be the woman’s fault for not covering up,wouldn’t it?And so, the devout muslim male can exonerate himself.

    And we know what perfect mo and his disciples did to women:-

    Abu Dawud 2150
    sahih muslim 3433
    sahih muslim 4345

    Rape.

    Of course,the hypocrisy of mo {and his unholy band of Godless,savage,commandment-violating thugs } is exposed by his tendency to stone women to death for adultery..
    { muslim 4206}

    ..which is a bit rich given that the polygamous,mass-murdering,self-appointed “prophet”,muhammed or perfect mo{sbuh} frequently stole the wives of other men{Rahyana…Safiyah(mo killed her husband)..};now,isn’t that ADULTERY and isn’t adultery,like murder,condemned by God in those commandments that allah/his koran disagrees with and muslims don’t obey?

    So who gave muhammed ,the serial-adulterer, the right to stone any woman to death for a sin he himself happily indulged in???

    His antiChristian,antiJewish,{k9:30}commandment-violating god “allah”?

    Just more Islamopuffery. The ABC has been full of it in the leadup to Ramadan, and during, and SBS tends to be even worse.

    Oddly enough we really do NOT get any comparable articles constantly telling us about the wonders of Buddhism or Hinduism, even though adherents of both those belief systems, put together, are about as numerous (within Australia) as are the Muslims. We have had endless articles telling us what to think about the hajj, and Ramadan, or (like this one) about the Slave Rag… but *nothing* at the same length, with the same visibility, about the pilgrimage to Varanasi, say, or about Diwali.

    It’s just Islam, endlessly, and we’re sick to death of hearing how wonderful it is (interspersed with the reports on the latest ghastly jihad terror atrocity or attempted atrocity, reports that of course try very hard to dissociate those atrocities from Islam).

    To Wellington

    Contemplating the “minor mistakes of the history’s greatest liberator”, do you think that the US bombing of Serbia which led indeed to the establishment of two Islamic states -Bosnia and Kosovo- in Euope was a mistake or not?
    And what about Iraq? Sure, Saddam Hussein’s regime was a quite unsavoury dictatorship, but it was not Islamic nor was S.Hussein a jihadi. When US troops invaded Iraq, you created a power vacuum, and what came out of that power vaccum? Al-Kaida and ISIS. You liberated the Iraqis from their tyrannical leader, but you also “liberated” something worse: the ugly beast of Islamic jihad. Was that a wise thing to do?
    And what about your attempts at toppling the regime of Baschir Assad in Syria. ,His regime is not islamic either and he is not a Muslim bigot. Who did you want to “liberate” this time? You even supported jihadist groups who fought against Assad, and your military efforts against ISIS were -to say the least- half-hearted. Russia brought this Islamic terrorist state down within a few months, whereas the US couldn’t achieve this in five years.
    Having in mind all your recent blunders and failures, speaking about America as “history’s greatest liberator”is hardly justified -unless you think that jingoistic self-aggrandizement is a virtue.

    Here are reasons for wearing the slave rags- as described by numerous islamic ‘ scholars’:

    # The slave rags stave off the build up of uncontrolled lust amongst menfolk the wearer comes into contact with; by extension if she doesn’t wear it she is inviting rape
    # In the event of an islamic invasion/ war etc; the slave rags tell the invaders exactly who they can rape without reproach (ie the ‘infidels’ not amoured in slave rags.

    The wearing of this odious garment – that, as has been previously mentioned, so boldly signals crankd up adherence to the cruel, hateful, murderous ideology – says some very unsettling things about the attitudes to the non- wearer. On these grounds alone it should be repudiated.

  41. KJW says

    Jun 22, 2018 at 2:48 am

    Pablum. Hijab wearers are just feeding into a patriarchal society that is saying that men can’t control themselves and salivate like dogs. How is it empowering to talk to a man knowing he can’t see your body? Does every man ogle? No, they don’t especially if you’te Not good looking or overweight.

    The hijab and it’s meaning should not be normalized in the sense of shut up about it, already. Hair is a part of our identity and nice hair and different styles make people interesting, and one can experiment and change them. I find it boring to see a lot of hijabs just as it would be boring if everyone had the same hairstyle.

    Regarding the “humorous” poem about a woman wearing a niqab, A few months ago my son and his mate were walking around a shopping center. My son’s mate said to him, “Don’t turn around. You’re being stalked by a ninja!” Of course my son glanced behind to see a niqab-clad woman. I refer to them as “NNs” – meaning “Non-Ninjas”.
