The hijab is a free choice, insist Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, and Western non-Muslim feminists. These women of the Islamic State know otherwise, as do the innumerable women who have been brutalized or even killed for not wearing it.
“‘We Pray For The Caliphate To Return’: ISIS Families Crowd Into Syrian Camps,” by Jane Arraf, NPR, April 19, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The women huddle for shelter from the rain under a corrugated iron roof, their long black cloaks dragging in the mud as they wait in line for food and pray for the return of the ISIS caliphate.
The squalid al-Hol camp, in the Kurdish-majority region of Syria known as Rojava, is filled with more than 72,000 people — most of them women and children who came out of the last piece of ISIS-held territory in Baghouz.
They include thousands of Iraqis and Syrians who believe they will usher in a new caliphate. And they pose a risk to the Iraqi government, seeking to repatriate the Iraqis, and to Syrian Kurdish authorities, having nowhere to send the Syrians.
“This is injustice — we pray for the caliphate to return,” says one of the women, who says this is the third day they have been turned away from promised cartons of food. Everything is in short supply here.
“If it weren’t for the airstrikes on our tents and camps killing our children,” she says, “we would not have left the caliphate.” All refuse to give their names.
All of the women are completely covered in long black cloaks, with only a slit for their eyes. A few have covered even their eyes.
“Convert, convert!” a group of women and girls shout at me, urging me to recite the shahada, the Muslim profession of faith: “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is his messenger.”
“If you became Muslim and cover like us and became a member of our religion, you would not be killed” in the ISIS caliphate, one woman tells me….

What a bunch of losers.

It appears that Kaliphates and Communism become identical in their final form. Each sujugates the individual, brainwashes its subjects, brutally administers “justice”, and is ruled by a cadre of corrupt officials having extraordinary privileges.
Sorry Muslimas, it’s not coming back – your life is now crap.

Well of course — who ever doubted that?
“We are the Helpers [Ansar] of God and the viziers of His Messenger, and we fight people until they believe in God. He who believes in God and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions [from us]; as for one who disbelieves, we fight him forever in the cause of God and killing him is a small matter to us.”

Not “God”. ALLAH.

So, wearing a bag over your head is free choice? In a way I suppose it is.
You have the choice of being subjugated and turned into a mindless slave, or being executed as a free woman with all the rights of other humans.
The choice is yours.
I actually feel a measure of compassion for these women.
To be so naive as to believe the drivel they have been told over the centuries, that it became their reality.
Joseph Goebbels said, “if you tell a lie often enough and with enough voracity it will become the truth”.
Hence, the lie of “the religion of peace”!

If you become Muslim and worship SATAN then shall the true God (YHWH) destroy you with fire at the final judgement!
Then you shall realize your error, but it will be TOO LATE!

Islam: So many little girls dropped on their heads and so many men ready to cut off your head. Religion of oppression, I guess it is good for men if they can get away with it.
