‘I’d love to but my husband won’t let me’: Muslims gather for prayers in western Sydney – where women aren’t allowed to talk about their burqas without checking with a man first
About the burqa (and the niqab, which is routinely conflated with the burqa in the Western press), mainstream Muslim groups push the lie that Muslim women wear the garment by choice out of modesty, despite the overwhelming evidence that proves otherwise. Women have been jailed, flogged and executed for not wearing the burqa in Islamic states, and in Western countries, even honor-killed. In Iran, women threw off their chadors in a declaration of freedom; many were subsequently jailed, tortured and threatened with the worst violence.
In Australia, Senator Pauline Hanson has rightly slammed feminists as “pathetic” for not supporting a burqa ban.
Then there are those who tell Westerners that the burqa is not a religious requirement, but that claim is false according to the Quran:
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
When it comes to women’s rights in Islam, women are inferior. Men are sanctioned to beat them if they are not obedient (cf. Quran 4:34).
It is most peculiar that feminists in the West have embraced a two-tier system of equality for women. For Western women, men are promptly deemed to be abusive if they raise their voices, call women names, slap them, and the like. There are also laws in place to protect women against abuse, as well as women’s shelters. For some eason, however, Western feminists say nothing about abuse by Muslim men against Muslim women or the mass rape by Muslim men of infidel women, as was revealed by the massive coverups of Muslim gang rape activity in the UK. It is widely known in Western countries that in abusive relationships, women do not have the freedom to speak for themselves. So logically, it should be recognized that since women are considered inferior in Islam, and since Islam warns them to be obedient or face a beating and to veil themselves, then they are genuine victims. What differentiates the victimization of Muslim women is that it is sanctioned by their religion, so that there is a hesitation among Western feminists to view their enforced inferiority as abuse, lest they appear “Islamophobic.”
The highest Islamic authority in Egypt, the Grand Mufti Shawki Ibrahim Abdel-Karim Allam, has left no doubt in his recent statement:
Religion does not accept different explanations for verses that are absolutely clear just to fit into countries’ current cultures. These verses are clear and considered fundamental to Sharia… trying to make them other than what they are shakes the foundations of Islam.
The burqa has no place in free societies, both for safety reasons and in keeping with the principle of the equality of women and men.
As the article below points out:
Muslim women wear the burqa to avert people’s gaze, yet they’ve drawn the eye of the entire nation by doing so.
Journalists from Daily Mail Australia decided to go out and investigate what the Muslim women had to say for themselves. What they found should have been expected:
Muslim women wearing the burqa said they can’t talk about their decision to wear it because their husbands won’t let them.
Some comments from the burqa-clad women whom Daily Mail tried to approach on the subject of the burqa:
“I would love to but my husband won’t let me.”
“I’m sorry I can’t. My husband won’t like that.”
“No, I would need to speak to my husband about it.”
“My husband doesn’t want me speaking about it, sorry.”
And “one woman refused to speak to Daily Mail Australia and quickly walked away when asked about her burqa.”
During a routine blood test in 2017, the blood technician informed me that many burqa-clad women come in for blood tests and are not allowed to speak to the medical staff. Their husbands do the talking. When time arrives to roll up her sleeve, burn marks and/or bruises are sometimes discovered. The staff keeps quiet and talks among themselves or to visitors to the clinic about their horror and frustration. The West is far down the road toward accepting a two-tier system, with Sharia on one side and Western principles of human rights on the other. When the two clash, Sharia usually wins, as Westerners are phobic about being called “Islamophobic.” Westerners have been bullied and beaten into accepting this idea, and that bullying is ongoing.
“‘I’d love to but my husband won’t let me’: Muslims gather for prayers in western Sydney – where women aren’t allowed to talk about their burqas without checking with a man first,” by Sahar Mourad, Daily Mail Australia, November 26, 2018:
Muslim women wear the burqa to avert people’s gaze, yet they’ve drawn the eye of the entire nation by doing so.
Right-wing politician Pauline Hanson has been leading the charge on Muslim clothing that covers the entire face – by calling for a ban on the garment being worn in public.
In a controversial and inflammatory stunt in August 2017, Ms Hanson even wore the burqa into the federal Senate to highlight her campaign.
But while nothing came of her stunt, hostility towards the garment remains, and many don’t get why Muslim women in Australia choose to wear it – with Ms Hanson claiming she has the backing of many Australians.
To get a better understanding from the women themselves, Daily Mail Australia visited Bankstown and Lakemba in Sydney’s Muslim heartland in an attempt to lift the veil on what is perhaps the most controversial piece of women’s clothing since the bikini was invented.
Muslim women wearing the burqa said they can’t talk about their decision to wear it because their husbands won’t let them.
A burqa or a niqab is a veil used to cover a woman’s face, and is worn by a small minority of Muslim women. The majority of Muslim women wear a headscarf which reveals their whole face.
When approached by Daily Mail Australia, five women confessed their husbands would not like them speaking about it.
‘I would love to but my husband won’t let me,’ one woman told Daily Mail Australia.
‘I’m sorry I can’t. My husband won’t like that,’ another confessed.
‘No, I would need to speak to my husband about it,’ one woman said.
‘My husband doesn’t want me speaking about it, sorry,’ another burqa-clad woman said.
One woman refused to speak to Daily Mail Australia and quickly walked away when asked about her burqa.
A woman who arrived in Australia from Tripoli in Lebanon said she loves wearing the burqa but would not share her name because ‘my husband wouldn’t like that’….

Truly ridiculous. Western Civilization will be lost due to Woman Suffrage since the majority of Woman vote for Liberal Parties which in the end will enslave them under the Yoke of Islam.
gravenimage says
Wait–your response to Muslim women being too terrified to speak about the Burqa is that Western women should be stripped of the vote?
Good God, Mac. No, not all woman vote liberal. Trump would not have been elected without women voters.
Mac-101 says
Once again Graven, your responding emotionally and NOT rationally. Women and Minorities vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. The majority of votes in the USA are women. Trump was the first time in recent history that the RePug got more than 50% of the white married women vote. Even American Jews vote overwhelmingly for Democrats who hate them.
.
They are the ones who are voting for their own enslavement/eradication, and the evidence is right in their face. The USA will economically collapse most likely before the end of Trump’s term. None of us will have rights left after that. Most will not likely even survive. The Republic can NOT exist with Money for Nothing as a political policy!
.
And WHERE did I say Women need their right to vote stripped away from them? I only mentioned that the end result of havin women and others who vote with their emotions rather than their brains will destroy us ALL including them! Have you been following what women have had to do in Venezuela with the collapse of the most successful country in South America. You do NOT think it will happen here?
.
I believe it is too late to turn things around. But if you do wish to see us survive as a Free Nation you better git the majority of your sisters to see the light.
The economy is the best I’ve ever seen I Western Ky. People were lucky to have a Temp job in a factory for 8 bucks with No benefits. Now factories are hiring all the drug free people they can at 14.50 an hour with benefits.
.
I truly believed RePugs would git 25% of the Black vote here. The overwhelming minority precincts here turned out less than 5%. Nationally, Latinos came out solidly for the Donkey. White, Black and Brown unemployment is at historic lows. It will NOT be better. The Nation is lost due to demographics. Enjoy livin in a Socialist hell hole in 2021.

Leftist and their the leftist women MUST understand that ALL this deficit spending is made possible by Red China suckin up ALL our Technology and Factories and sellin us the stuff below cost to destroy American manufacturing. This economic warfare is much easier than massive bombing and more effective.
.
The bill will come due soon and it can NOT be paid. It will be ugly when it does. hopefully ALL the wayward sheeple will find G-d before it hits them!

You said perfectly right. The liberals are the ones who sell their own nations to islam, which will annihilate them when they will dominate Europe.
gravenimage says
So you think that women should lose the right to vote, as well?Why don’t you just convert to Islam now?
Mac-101 says
Gravin, he said Liberals. If you haven’t noticed Libs support everything that Muslims hate and will destroy, but Libs love Islam and hate Christians, who tolerate most anything. WHY? Do some thinkin and quit just reacting. This is happenin for a reason. WHY? The system is forcing it’s own destruction and it is NOT due to stupidity!

Question for veiled Muslims: “WHAT WILL THEY DO TO YOU IF YOU TAKE THAT OFF?”

Damn good question, Mortimer. We all know what would happen–it would not be pretty, and in many cases would be fatal.

Yes, the Islamic veil is the ULTIMATE SYMBOL of MISOGYNY and PATRIARCHY and FEMALE ENSLAVEMENT.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Banning *all* forms of distinctly Islamic female clothing makes it harder for Muslim rapists to “know the women of the believers” from infidel women. This will not solve the Muslim rape pandemic, but it will help to curtail it. For the sake of 50% of the population, that is most definitely worth it.
That Western governments will finally rise to their responsibility might be too must to hope for at this point, but their’s no reason why burqa-, niqab-, hijab-, chador-, wearing women shouldn’t be approached by the rest of us asking questions about the issues their dress raise. Pass the discomfort back to them. We did not ask them to appear on our streets dressed in a way that puts every non-Muslim woman at risk. Why are we letting them off the hook?
I’m really glad that the taboo on challenging Muslims is now broken in Australia. That’s an important step towards restoring our civilisation. Governments of countries under jihad onslaught should look to Australia for leadership (of course, they first have to stop denying that they are under jihad onslaught).
BTW. I don’t think there’s any point in trying to get feminists to do the right thing here. If they can’t even say peep about rape gangs, then they’re a spent force and an embarrassment.

I believe in equal rights for women,and I oppose forced veiling and the Muslim rape epidemic.

Interesting post, AP.

They do as they are told.

They are aware that their husbands have sticks at home…or just how large are the fists used to keep them in line.
Saying they can’t say without first asking…says it all.

Yes… that tells you that the Islamic veil is SOOOOOOOO very FEMINIST … isn’t it?
(Uh… let me ask my husband if I can talk about feminism with you … I’ll get back to you.)

So much for the idea that these are all strong, independent women who wear the Burqa on their own volition…
Anjuli Pandavar says
Oh yes. I’d forgotten about that. Hijabis are “empowered”, claimed some woman whose name escapes me now. Hugh Fitzgerald wrote about her.
Indiana Tom says
My cats and dogs have more rights of expression than what women have under sharia law.
Gee….Kilty how do you think women are treated under Sharia?
Rough, rough.
Say Jetty, how are little boys treated under islam?
Rough, rough.
Canada says
Christine, Robrert,
You both have no idea the transformation that has taken place in Windsor, Ontario with the adapt to and assimilation of Muslims, women, and how scary and backwards they have become in the last eight years here.
Community, neighbours, friends of, know and see the change. Hardly any women come out side, are about now. Covered and only in cars, driving. Grocery shopping you now see the totally covered downtown, the new Samalians in black, the beautifully colored covered except face Muslims and now the fighting between Islam control.
This is not a joke. Only wish instead of covering all the Godly profit Muhammad’s and Islams teaching results over seas you both would dare to come to Canada, Windor and see, watch for yourself because locTion, maps matter.

Will we find Benedict weighing in, telling Western women they need to wear the Burqa, and that little girls must be forcibly veiled, to counter so any in the West (supposedly) walking around nude? He has done this on every other thread dealing with the Burqa or Niqab here over the past several months.
infidel says
How did these filth even manage to get into Australia…. Vow!! What an immigration policy!!! Meanwhile, uo in Canada, these creatures are imported in their 100000s by the stupid TURD, who does not have even an ounce of shame of what he is doing to his own land and people.
