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

Al Jazeera claims to be feminist, its bosses don’t let women travel without a male guardian

Aug 7, 2019 1:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

Qatar’s Al Jazeera propaganda outlet has carefully zoomed in on the niche demographic of progressives who love getting their news from a state sponsor of Islamic terror. Al Jazeera writes oodles and oodles of articles and stories about the wonders of feminism. But it’s a propaganda outlet for a totalitarian regime which forbids women from traveling without permission from a male guardian.

Qatar is the only GCC country that continues to implement male guardianship laws for female travel after Saudi Arabia lifted restrictions on Friday.

Saudi Arabia announced on Friday breakthrough changes to the Kingdom’s guardianship laws, allowing all citizens over the age of 21 – male and female – to travel freely without a guardian’s approval.

In Qatar, guardianship rules still limit women’s ability to travel. According to the Qatari Ministry of Interior’s website, single women under 25 years of age require a male guardian’s consent to travel outside the country.

Nothing says feminism like a mandatory male guardian for a 24-year-old woman. And nothing says hypocrisy like a political movement that claims to believe in equality for women, but has climbed into bed with a regime that prevents women from enjoying basic civil rights.

    That’s just a Republican talking point only bigots, racists and greasy islamophobes take seriously… /sarc. off

    This is actually very characteristic of the Qatar/Turkey/Muslim Brotherhood’s brand of Hybrid Jihad tactics. Same faux feminist pieces (always about the oppression of women in the West, never aboout their 100 times worse fate in the Dar al Islam) appear very often on “TRT” which is the turkish regime’s equivalent to Qatari Al Jazeere and which broadcasts in multiple languages and is also very active on Youtube with multiple channels, where the regime’s propaganda is being pushed side by side with such dishonest “feminist” and other “SJW”-type propaganda pieces (with a special focus on fighting islamophobia of course.) The Brotherhood’s MO in the West is to take advantage of the internal political divisions that exist inside Dar al Harb and foster opportunistic alliances with the Left (which already shares Islams hatred of the West) in order to beat the Right (which seems to have better reflexes in identifying subversion) as the first step towards achieving the objectives of the “Civilizational Jihad.” Of course once they’re done with the Right their plan is to turn on their leftist former allies. Fortunatelly their plan isn’t working quite so smoothly, as western countries are increasingly turning to the Right electorally, while their leftist dupes keep losing elections at a dizzying rate, as a result of popular reaction to the islamo-leftist subversion. But even if the islamists do not succed in beating the Right on the first Round they still manage to gain precious time to gather strenght for Round 2, as the alliance with the leftists enables them to forestall the reform of the immigration policies of western countries and thus gives them the oppurtunity to bring more Muslims inside the City Walls.

    Spilled coffee on me on account of bursting into laughter upon reading the title…
    On a lighter note, never thought Mr. Greenfield would owe me a latte 😎
    Excellent reading, as usual.

    Al Jazeera is ‘feminist’ in the same way that the Democrat Party supports free speech. Both are duplicitous and have double standards.

    Considering the new feminists out of canada force women in salons to play with their balls or face arrest, I do believe the left has eclipsed islam. In G-d I trust.
