Jihad Watch

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

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Features Hijab Model

Apr 29, 2019 12:01 pm By Daniel Greenfield

The first casualty of culture war is integrity.

The social justice radicals at Sports Illustrated, who now control most sports journalism, want to mainstream Islam. Islamists want to mainstream the Hijab. Both have come together to make a mockery of Sports Illustrated and the entire premise of the Hijab.

This year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is going to feature trailblazer Halima Aden.

Aden will be the first woman to sport a hijab and burkini in the magazine, which hits newsstands on May 8, SI revealed Monday.

In a photo shared to the official Instagram page for the issue, Aden, 21, smiles while submerged in the water.

Aden found success and broke barriers. She signed to IMG Models after making headlines for competing in hijab at her state’s Miss USA pageant in 2016. She became the first woman to wear her traditional Muslim headpiece for the entire competition, also opting to wear a burkini for the swimsuit round.

“Trailblazer”.

If featuring a garment that symbolizes the enslavement of half the population is trailblazing, progress looks like the 7th century.

But the absurdity of both social justice and Islamist posturing leads to this trainwreck of including “modest” Muslim garb in the swimsuit issue which serves neither the core cause of social justice, Islam or the actual purpose of the swimsuit issue.

The next step will be the first swimsuit model in the Swimsuit issue to wear a Burqa.

    Is this a joke?

    • revereridesagain says

      The whole thing — namely, Islam and Sharia — is a joke. A sick, oppressive, Dark Age joke.

      Probably put together for the April 1 edition.
      A similar thing is used here in Australia,,,for protection, because we have marine stingers that will kill you!
      Does this mean that these outfits will repel all pests? Like Musliods?

      Apr 29, 2019 at 2:39 pm

      Wish it were.

      That’ll never happen. The Onion is a leftist rag, and besides they’re smart enough to know that scathing satire of the Religion of Peace could turn out in a situation that is… explosive.

    Sports Illustrated figured out long ago that big money could be made with some T&A, but with the passage of time they seem to have lost their touch. That happens in sports.

  5. James says

    Apr 29, 2019 at 2:41 pm

    This is just more of the effort by elites to undermine and destroy Western culture and replace it with cultural Marxism and Sharia. Muslim clothing for women serves the purpose of making women less attractive to men. In the media, which is used by the elites to make Islam seem less threatening, women are shown as attractive in hijabs and burkinas as here. But this is the opposite of the purpose of such clothes. It goes along with the feminists who want to ignore the oppression of women under Islam and attribute all their problems to conservatives in the West, while giving a pass to Islam, the worst oppressor of women in the world.

    • Rufolino says

      Apr 30, 2019 at 3:35 am

      The burqa outfits send a message to men: “Rape her, not me !”

      It’s all disgusting.

    White women breeding with invaders are the biggest threat to the West. Selfish curious traitors.

    • andra says

      Apr 29, 2019 at 3:59 pm

      What about the other way round? In Germany there are uncount white men breeding with Muslim venus traps. These men sit in important positions like politics, justice and TV. They are even more dangerous, because their wives hide behind western clothing and the husbands do everything for being accepted in the clan.

      • Indiana Tom says

        Apr 29, 2019 at 6:04 pm

        Bad all the way around.

    • Brian hoff says

      Apr 29, 2019 at 9:09 pm

      Why are they marrying nonwhite men. Is it because white man donot want to raise than family.

      • gravenimage says

        Apr 29, 2019 at 9:25 pm

        “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–has never understood the idea that women have the right to choose who to marry. It is alien to Islam.

        He has said several times here that he can’t wait for Islam to take over so that he can get women to marry him.

      • Westman says

        Apr 29, 2019 at 11:14 pm

        Maybe, Brian, they want their children to have a tan without skin cancer. Very few white people actually want to be the pale color we call white. This is what makes (white) leftist’s taunts about “white” racism so hilarious. You might notice the beaches are full of “white” people trying to “darken” during the summer.

        • Richard says

          Apr 30, 2019 at 3:43 am

          Westman: What you say is true, but it varies throughout the ages depending on lifestyles. In the Middle Ages and earlier, it was a matter of status to have light white skin because it meant you could afford to live indoors in a castle and people with suntans were the peasants who worked outside for you. That changed when factories and coal mining came along and people who had light complexions slaved away indoors out of the sun while those who had time to be free outside had tans. Farmers were still looked down on, of course.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 30, 2019 at 10:23 pm

          I have no problem being light-skinned. I don’t think any of this is really about race.

    The lib idiots at Sports Illustrated will probably give her the cover just to show how inclusive the rag is as well as how modern and non threatening Islam is. Sick!!

    What next?

    A Sports Illustrated diversity multicult edition of burqa babes calender for the lusty abdools?

    She is “shattering perceptions” is she?
    allah’s perception in the koran k2:282 that the Testimony of a woman=HALF that of a man?
    That won’t change:it is in the koran.

    The reason why is because muhammed said {Sahih Bukhari 2658} was because”of the deficiency of a woman’s mind”

    Abu Dawud 2155
    Women are to be compared to slaves and camels with regard to the evil in them

    Such garments are worn in honor of Al iLah,the misogynistic pagan Arab god of islam.

    Just look at the god you muslimas follow!A god who hates women…who teaches in his koran that women are inferior and ignorant.

    k4:34 men are in charge of women
    k2:223 women have one purpose in islam..

    Abu Dawud vol 2 Hadith # 2155:allah gives PERMISSION for women to be raped and used as slaves{k4;24}
    That does not seem to be a god who thinks women are worth much..

    And since most muslim women are sent to hell anyway{Sahih Muslim 241}..all that Hijab wearing for nothing!

    Idiotic pandering and counter productive. Those applauding DON’T BUY your magazine. And those rolling their eyes most certainly won’t either. As we had 1920’s beach fashion 100 years ago.

    Besides, that’s a diving suit and not a swim suit. Oh, and better don’t wear it in islamic countries if you value your life… BECAUSE IT’S MOST CERTAINLY *NOT* TOLERATED THERE.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 29, 2019 at 11:12 pm

      True–ironically, the “Burkini” is pretty much entirely a Western phenomenon.

      • Fritz says

        Apr 30, 2019 at 12:05 am

        The issues that islam has (and causes) with *any* tolerant society cannot be fixed with fashion and pandering.

    Apr 30, 2019 at 5:12 am

    Is that a Muslim woman in the illustration? The photo is too revealing -she’s wet and the water accentuates her form. I would surmise that this is haram. As a man I my not write this or even stare at the female form. Why then the the fuss with Muslim swimwear? The only way to circumvent sin is for all Muslims to build pools for themselves. Secondly, it is haram to display the female form. For this reason this woman in this picture ought to be decapitated…

  19. Kilauea says

    Apr 30, 2019 at 9:17 am

    SI has been dead for some time. They offer subscriptions for the price of postage just to keep their numbers up. It’s still not worth getting. By the time you get an issue the news isn’t news anymore. If SI wants to kowtow to the Muslims then let them survive with Muslim purchasers. Go to Hell, SI. I’ll never read your bird cage liner again.

    Halima Aden and any other Mulima in a burkini is as appealing as a mannequin in draperies and rugs. Does not appeal to my prurient interests.

    Thanks for all your funny, and sarcastic posts guys, and gals.

    I guess the Bikini issue was SI’s only decent issue – because of the cutie babes, in cutie bikinis. Now, they have ruined that too.

    I hope a grand total of 2 really bored men buy that mag rag, and that’s it.

    Unfortunately though, the long continuing slide into dhimmitude seems to be in fashion.

    We shall see.

    “Halima Aden grew up in a Kenyan refugee camp, moved to the US aged seven and began wearing the hijab shortly after.”

    https://www.bbc.com/news/48071948

    So in Kenya until age 7 she did not wear it but when in US she starts.At age it is not her decision but her family.

    By the way all the hijabis have their face so heavily made up they do not need to show the rest of their bodies.

    or because they do not show any other part of their body their face is so heavily made up.

    May 5, 2019 at 3:29 pm

    Shariah law states: a woman inherits half of what a man does 4:11
    a man may hit his wife:
    a man may have 4 wives 4:3 33: 50-52
    male owners may have sex with their sex slaves, even prepubescent slave girls. 4:24
    23:1-7
    Women captives of jihad may be forced to have sex with captors– now owners.

    Let us all learn about the oppression of woman and not glamorize oppression.
    Little girls in Iran are not allowed to wear earrings under their hyjabs.
