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

The niqab is a form of torture

Aug 13, 2018 9:07 am By Joshua Winston

Yesterday I spoke with a young, 21-year-old Australian man called Joey. He was disgusted by any number of things – his generation’s constant whining and hurt feelings, the educational system being one-sided, people not integrating into society, and the niqab, among others.

Joey – We have an effeminate culture where people feel that everyone’s feelings and rights must be protected. It’s an unequal comparison of history, to suggest that blacks are suffering in exactly the same way today as they were hundreds of years ago, for instance. What young people of my age need to be doing is stepping outside of their safety bubbles and exposing themselves to things that will challenge their feelings and worldviews. Instead, they spend all of their time trying to neuter males and achieve a physical equality that will never exist. We live in one of the most fairest societies in the world, and still people look for more and more things to moan about.

Joshua Winston – Things like white privilege, intersectionality and cultural co-existence? My biggest concern is loss of cultural identity. You lose a culture if too many people are allowed in.

Joey – I’m worried when it comes to discriminating against minorities. That should never be allowed. It’s anti-ethical to Western culture to do this. We should examine the individual and come to conclusions based on their ethics, and then decide whether or not they are a good fit with our society. This part of London is very obviously filled with Arab people, and they want to travel the world and see things, too, and of course they have every right to. In London, for instance, yes, I would agree that there are too many Arab people living and settled here. That’s a problem because they do not want to integrate, and the niqab is a sign of that lack of desire to integrate. And I agree that immigration in all lands should be capped. I don’t know what a reasonable number would be, possibly between 5 – 10%. What you’re seeing just now is that indigenous Brits are leaving their capital cities and moving to rural areas so that they can still experience their own culture and practices. It’s not right to discriminate against an individual, but it’s entirely okay to exhibit a level of concern for the survival of one’s own culture.

JW – Any more thoughts on the niqab?

Joey – It’s oppressive and it’s a form of torture. It’s black and polyester and traps the heat. There’s nothing religious about it at all. It’s a cultural form of dress from particular regions of the Middle East. A niqab is not covering someone’s modesty or protecting them from sexual assault, it is simply a form of torture, and it’s a disgrace that we allow this oppression of women to happen in the UK.

JW – There was a case yesterday where a man in a motorcycle helmet entered a store to pay for some gasoline, I believe, and the shop owner told him he had to remove his helmet. Meanwhile, standing next to him was a woman in full niqab. The motorcyclist is now accusing the shop owner of being a racist. It’s complex, and Islam is not a race, but why should a white man be asked to remove a head-covering when a brown woman isn’t?

Joey – Pure fear on behalf of the authorities and police.

JW – You mentioned logos earlier, that young people must speak to logos. What did you mean by that?

Joey – Logos means speaking truth into chaos. People can believe whatever they want and hope for whatever they want, but ultimately they must follow the logos (truth), regardless of whether or not it offends them, upsets them, or disappoints them, or leads them in a direction that they feel they don’t want to go.

JW – Do you have a vision for London, ten years from now?

Joey – The left are currently controlling the narrative. I’m a Conservative, and I do understand why you would want to give a voice to all minorities, but the far left have an agenda about all of this. They put forward the narrative that Conservatives don’t want people to have luxuries or to have their rent paid if they are unemployed, etc. This is a lie. The left are going to continue to use minorities as political tools.

    Even globally the leftists utilise minorities as their tools. Their agenda is to silence all dissents about jihad so that ultimately they can have their way in every sphere, but they are sadly mistaken. The terrorists in Islam will ultimately swallow the leftists also once they achieve their magic figures in terms of population and control the fate of people!

    Let anyone wear what they want whatever the reason they may have. It’s none of our business. HOWEVER, NO ONE should be allowed, as a matter of security, to cover their face in public unless there is an excellent reason such as a motorcyclist (while on the motorcycle, or a construction worker while working.

      I do not quite agree with you. In all Western cultures the Islamic head coverage must be banned.

      It is a kind of marker for the Muslims. Women who are covered have to be treated with some Kind of respect. But those who are not are whores. They can be insulted, knived, raped or killed because they are worthless.

      If the head Coverage was banned the Western women might have some more protection.

        True but any kind of muslim attire labels them as muslims. They would always be able to be identified as muslims so, in the absence of some pretty draconian laws, little would be accomplished.

    And yet they fight to preserve their enslavement. Why? Is it some murky self-victimization psychology, or is it because we fail to give culturally Muslim women the reality of western freedoms, even when they reside in the west?

    When the American government outlawed slavery a century and a half ago, it also outlawed “badges of involuntary servitude.” Any man who makes his wives sit at home unless they robe up, does exactly that and should be investigated.

      They use it as one part of conquering the Western cultures. If you meet them you can often hear: That is our culture, even if these women have been born in the West.

      I think they also need it in order to feel elevated in comparism to Western women. “Look at me I wear a head scarf because I am virtuous and not a slut like the naked Western women.”

      And on top it is an important tool for the Muslims in the West to keep up the story of islamophobia and racism against them as soon as someone critizises that they disrespect the cultures they invade.

    To me there is nothing MORE dehumanizing than those freaky black shapeless bags that make those women look like evil ghosts haunting the streets.

    Muslim women wear the burqa / niqab / hijab in Western countries to display superiority – and irritate the people of the host country, etc.

    Muslim women wear the burqa / niqab / hijab in Islamic countries because they are forced to.

    • j_not_a says

      Aug 13, 2018 at 6:05 pm

      But why do they wear them in free western societies? When I have derided some of them here about their niquabs, they defensively retort in perfectly clear English voices, not coming across at all as being forced to wear them.

      • j_not_a says

        Aug 13, 2018 at 6:09 pm

        More of a statement/rhetorial question than anything. It IS a very “in your face” political affront to western society, yes. An “up yours” to the country that allowed them to come in. I just find niqabs repugnant, offensive, ugly and antisocial to say the least.

        • j_not_a says

          “rhetorical” geez! lol

        Not all Muslimahs are forced to wear them. Some want to force them on others.

    Personally I am happy if muslimahs cover their faces. I don’t want to look at them. Hopefully they will build a large opaque wall around each person as well.

    I can understand the “religious?”aspect of head and body covering, but the face definitely needs to be seen. At least then you will know if that “person” is Male or female.

    The Paul Joseph Watson video above is great. It was on infowara? So THAT is why they banned infowars.

    Islam is a death cult. Woman in garbage bags…..that idea is from hell.
