“Al-Qaeda’s Al-Sahab media wing released a video featuring a speech by Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri titled ‘The Battle of the Hijab’. In the video, Al-Zawahiri addresses Muslim women and warns them of the war raging against the Islamic nation that seeks to force them to abandon their religion and hijab (‘head covering’).”
The hijab is a major subject of debate in Western countries; many feminists and other Leftists don’t admit its incompatibility with Western principles of equality between men and women. It is a symbol of oppression; women in Islamic countries can face punishments for not wearing it, ranging from lashings and imprisonment even to murder. It signifies a critically important aspect of Islamic law: the inferiority of women. So as Al-Zawahiri put it, to resist the hijab (and niqab) is to wage war against the Islamic ummah. Contrary to many Muslims telling Westerners that head coverings for women are not a religious requirement, only a cultural one, it is explicitly mandated in 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.
And while Al-Zawahiri calls out what he deems to be the “sins” of America, he makes no mention of historic and present-day atrocities committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings.
“Addressing Muslim Women, Al-Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri Deems Western Battle Against Hijab To Be Part Of War On Islamic Ummah,” MEMRI, August 13, 2019:
The following report is now a complimentary offering from MEMRI’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM). For JTTM subscription information, click here.
On August 7, 2019, Al-Qaeda’s Al-Sahab media wing released a video featuring a speech by Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri titled “The Battle of the Hijab.” In the video, Al-Zawahiri addresses Muslim women and warns them of the war raging against the Islamic nation that seeks to force them to abandon their religion and hijab (“head covering”).[1]
The 12-minute video, which is the fourth episode of his da’wa (“preaching, invitation”) series, shows the Al-Qaeda leader in the usual setting, in what appears to be a studio, sitting behind a table on which a Quran is open. Al-Zawahiri begins by addressing “Muslim sisters,” particularly those who wear the hijab, saying the current war rages against the Islamic ummah at all levels – militarily, politically, ideologically, culturally, educationally, or economically and others. He says: “The reason behind this war is the danger the Muslim ummah poses to the existence of the modern global system, which is controlled by the leading [international] criminals.”
Comparing the Islamic nation with other non-Islamic nations, he says that the nation of Islam is a nation of monotheism, chastity, and jihad for the sake of Allah, while other nations believe in polytheism, lechery, and invasion. He then accuses other nations of “trying by all means to exclude the Islamic ummah or cause it to deviate from this religion and its shari’a.” He says that non-Islamic nations wage wars of ideas and ideologies and other types of wars, and that they want Muslims to abandon their monotheism and become “secularists, irreligious, atheists, Christians, communists, and utilitarians,” desert chastity, purity, virtue, and integrity, and indulge in lust and pleasures.
In a stark criticism of the United States and Western countries, Al-Zawahiri says: “Isn’t it awfully strange that those who bombarded Japan with atomic bombs, killed five million people in Vietnam, occupied our countries, smashed the Ottoman state, planted Israel in our midst, divided us into more than 50 countries, are stealing our wealth and even the wealth of the whole humanity, are disregarding the destruction of our planet by climate change for their our own interest, are supporting every tyrant and corrupt powerful leader in our countries, and then lecture us about human rights, freedom, civilization, and justice?”
“Is it not strange that the world is controlled by five criminal powers through their international legitimacy, and then they lecture us on democracy and equality?” he asks.
Addressing Muslim women, Al-Zawahiri says that they stand on the frontlines of such wars. He also warns them that non-Islamic nations want Muslim women to abandon their “religion, commitment, chastity, modesty, hijab, and morals,” adding that they also want Muslim women to be atheists, irreligious, and secularists with no morals and principles.
He then praises the role of Muslim women in the Islamic community and their steadfastness, patience, and suffering, especially if their sons or husbands are killed, arrested, or lost. He commends Muslim women and girls who supported their male siblings who participated in jihad, incited them to take part in protests against oppression and tyranny, or suffered due to their imprisonment.
Al-Zawahiri goes on to say: “Oh noble and honorable women, you are one of the first targets in the war against our Islamic ummah. They will try to reach your faith and conviction using every loophole so that they can penetrate [your faith].”…

Ayman is a follower of LAH,the pagan Arab god of the muslims.
A god who has ONE leg and…TWO RIGHT HANDS {Sahih Muslim 1827}and who admits to being “the BEST of deceivers” k3:54
A “prophet” with a WINGED FLYING HORSE WITH A WOMAN’S FACE who admitted to being a fraud{Al Tabari 6;111} and who laughably failed the Poison Test{thus revealing himself to be a FALSE prophet}
A ‘holy’ book that insists a woman’s testimony is HALF that of a man due to what muhammed said was “the deficiency of a woman’s mind” and denies the Biblical Jewish prophets were even Jewish.
muslims “pray” 5 times a day to a god who gets Christian Theology,the Jews,Human reproductive Biology,Astronomy..completely wrong.
muslim women wear their hijabs in honor of an idiotic pagan Arab god who is so parochial,so linguistically challenged,so obtuse,he can only be understood in ONE language and teaches that women are stupid.

I do condemn forced veiling and forced hijabs everywhere but unlike
you and others, I am beyond outraged of Western world’s total support and love for Islamists and for Islamic jihadists every where!

Says the guy who wants to see ISIS triumph over the Western world, defends the hijab-enforcing Iranian regime, denies the persecution of Christians in Iran and has said, on numerous occasions, “god bless hezbollah”… He certainly is one to talk about the subject of love for “islamists” and islamic jihadis, seeing how he can’t help but to share his own…
So, CB, are you going to denounce the Iranian regime’s enforcing of dress code – including the hijab – for the opressing evil that it is?
gravenimage says
christiannblood has condemned the US for defeating the Islamic State–as if this was supporting Jihad..
What he does here is slam the West–and usually gives Islam a pass.
Moreover, he does not explain why he has refused to criticize and even condoned forced veiling in Chechnya–and all other aspects of Shari’ah law there.
The Canadian schools were extremely foolish to provide money for Hijabs–and I have noted this here before.
But note that christianblood is unable to explain why the pious Al Zawahiri considers the West to be anti-Hijab–certainly, this does not jibe with his claim that it is the West that is imposing veiling.
Besides, christianbllod has said many times that he wants Muslims to conquer the West–in which case forced veiling would be the least of it.
But christianblood knows this–he has gloated over my being gang raped and beheaded by invading Jihadists. Would he do this if he were really against Jihad? Of course not.
Christianblood says

Your speech is total non-sense!
I condemn forced hijabs everywhere but I am more outraged of the West’s continuous support of Islamic jihadists around the globe and you are not! All of you can condemn jihadists and call islam bad but as long as you hypocritically ignore your Western governments’s total support of islamists and of islamic jihadists you are only wasting your time!
For instance, the Trump administration just released millions of taxpayer dollars to Al-Qaeda “White Helmets” in Syria, calling them “heroic” and while you all condemn (Ayman Al-Zawahiri) words above you ignore when the US and other Western governments give hundreds of millions of dollars to the same murderous and barbaric Islamic jihadist groups like the Syrian Al-Qaeda “White Helmets” and many, many others! You turn the other way when your Nato governments give direct support to jihadist groups that invade and destroy places like Libya and Syria and other places! In the words Jesus “..You strain out the gnat and swallow the camel..” Matthew 23, in other words you are HYPOCRITES!

Angemon says
“I condemn forced hijabs everywhere but ”
Any keen observer can tell that a well-positioned “but , such as CB’s over there, immediately invalidates all that came before. In any case, I have yet to see him condemn the mandatory, state-enforced islamic dress codes, including hijabs, in, for example, Iran. Of course he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about it, he simply claims he does to use as a segway to rail against the West. “I condemn forced hijabs but the West is bad”.
“All of you can condemn jihadists and call islam bad but as long as you hypocritically ignore your Western governments’s total support of islamists and of islamic jihadists you are only wasting your time!”
No one here is more of an hypocrite than you when it comes to defending “islamists” and jihad groups. Do I need to remind you how you switched tunes regarding Turkey as soon as the Turks bought missiles from the Russians? Or your defence of the number one terrorism sponsoring state in the world, Iran? And about that sharia in Chechnya? No, you simply pretend to care about such things in order to pretend you’re a normie instead of a Russian apologist.
Go ahead, prove me wrong – denounce the evil that is the Iranian regime and say of Russia selling weapons to the Turks 1/100th of what you drone on about the West. You won’t because you can’t because that’s the opposite of what you’re paid to do.

Actually, as I noted, christianblood has previously condoned Shari’ah in Chechnya, even when it is applied to Christians and othe non-Muslims. Will he condemn Shari’ah in Chechnya now? I doubt it.
He has also not just refused to condemn forced Hijab in Iran, but sneered at Anti-Jihadists here who do so.
And his claim that I ignore the frequent cluelessness of the West when it comes to Islam is *quite* false–I write here about it all the time.
But pretending that the US defeating the Caliphate is–somehow–pro-Jihad is utterly grotesque.
Saying that I am “wasting my time” in opposing Jihad and Shari’ah is quite grotesque.

Perhaps you should try telling that to the victims of Iran’s terrorist proxies – you know, the ones you bragged about making “the entire Middle East explode in violence and blood”, or something like that.
“Click on the link below to see the FACT-SHEET:”
I know that, for you, as long as it is to denigrate the West – and especially the US – or to praise jihadi murderers lies are just as reliable as facts, but I’ll point out – for the nth time – that the anti-Western propaganda rag you link to is factually incorrect. For example, it blames the deaths committed by Soviet troops in Afghanistan and Angola on the US. And that’s only in the first two items alone – two for two.

The medieval Bloodthirstypseudochristian is not a counterjihadists, but a propagandist for imperial feudalism. His genocidal and exterminationist ideation (and likely anti-Semitism as well) are his motives. He is opposed to secular, pluralistic democracy, freedom of speech and equality … all the values we adore.
He is a backward and vicious poseur. He is opposed to ALL of the founding principles of the United States of America. The medieval Bloodthirstypseudochristian believes in kleptocracy and dictatorship. He thinks he is concealing his primitive mindset, but he is not smart enough to do that.

Not likely. As I pointed before, there’s no anti-Israel blood libel he won’t repeat here. He has, among countless others, accused Israel, the only safe haven for Christians in the entire Middle East, of wanting to murder all the Christians in the Middle East.

President al Si Si of Egypt has to say about the antipathy of Western countries to Arab migrants and by extension to Muslims.
Speaking in Arabic, the President said: “Instead of asking me why the West closes its gates to us, you should ask yourself why the people of Afghanistan don’t take better care of their country… [The same is true] in Pakistan, in Egypt, in Syria, in Libya, in Iraq, in Yemen, and in Somalia.” He said also: “that people in those countries have been fighting amongst themselves for decades, so it is unreasonable for them to expect to be welcomed by Western countries while keeping their own culture and work ethic”.

Many Muslim women are leaving Islam. Others are leaving Islam gradually. You won’t find many Muslim women campaigning for greater enforcement of veils.
The purpose of the Islamic veil is to isolate women and remove their ability to speak with their friends or even to have friends.

Esteemed GI, I have not found many women speaking out in favor veils. I have found only one … a university teacher who teaches the veil in class, but doesn’t command Muslim women to wear it. She wears it herself. She allows others to differ. The women Sharia police you refer to are being paid to enforce a law that they may or may not like. We do not know what they privately may or may not think of the veil per se. They have a job to do and they don’t have to like their job to do it. The women Sharia cops are not writers or preachers or intellectual leaders, but merely civil servants following their orders. I do not assume they want veils or even care one way or another.
I try to be clear and specific in my comments and to avoid overgeneralization, but time and again, people on this forum jump to conclusions because of the limits of communication and because their knowledge of Islam limited to what is heard on radio and seen on TV. Those who have a deep knowledge of Islam normally agree with everything I say or write, but they may differ on arcane points of theology’. So kindly find one woman in the Muslim world who is adamantly promoting the veil in the manner of Qaradawi. I will be grateful to learn.
I encourage people at JW to read books from counterjihad writers and foremost to study AL WALAA WAL BARAA which is the MOTIVE of all Islam. This motive is the hatred of the dirty kafirs. Islam is motive by the hatred of kafirs and women.

Where does he bother to prove his assertions that it encourages its followers to desert chastity, purity, virtue, and integrity, and indulge in lust and pleasures of the flesh? Where does Christianity encourage anyone to wage war? He doesn’t know and can’t say — because it does not. He is either an ignorant fool — or a liar.

Again: US sold weapons to Saudi Arabia. Selling weapons is not, as you claimed here, giving away tax payer’s money. You’re just angry that the Saudis get their weapons from the US, as opposed to all those islamic terror groups sporting AK-47’s…
“and U$-made weapons are directly being passed to Al-Qaeda in Yemen by Saudi Arabia! ”
First of all, citation needed. Second, Russian weapons given to the Assad government in Syria are directly being passed to terrorist groups waging jihad against Israel (which, I suppose, you wholeheartedly defend). What’s your point – that the US, or Russia, are responsible for what their clients do with the stuff they buy from them? Ridiculous.

It’s shocking that young people today are often being taught to swallow Islam’s wickedly distorted views of Christian truths.

Strange? Far from it. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombings of military targets of a nation the US was at war with. The alleged 5 million in Vietnam is obviously bogus – I bet your Turkish buddies massacred more Armenians than th US killed enemies in the Vietnam. The Ottoman state wasn’t ended by the US. They were part of the Allied powers, sure, but it was not American troops that occupied Istanbul. Israel is where it should be: historically Jewish lands. The “division in 50 countries” is the responsibility of your coreligionists, each “tribe” wanting a nation of their own. Climate change? Take it up to, for example, China. Supporting “every tyrant and powerful leader”? I keep hearing that the US is out to replace governments with jihadis – one of you must be wrong. As for occupying your countries, you should try this thing called “NOT waging jihad against the US” – that’s been working out great for my country. No US occupation ever or in sight.
So, yeah, nothing you brought up takes anything away from lecturing you on human rights, freedom, civilization and justice.

It is certainly not a new phenomenon. Regarding the Frankish rule of the Crusader Kingdoms, Ibn Jubayr, an Arab geographer and traveller from muslim-ocupied Hispania who passed by them during his pilgrimage to Mecca, 5 or so years before the Third Crusade, had this to say:

Yep.
You would seldom find a Jew or Christian able to say such a thing about living under the Muslim heel, though.

The man shows a complete lack of understanding of Christianity. Where does he bother to prove his assertions that it encourages its followers to desert chastity, purity, virtue, and integrity, and indulge in lust and pleasures of the flesh?
………………..
CogitoErgoSum, Christianity allows (and encourages) marrying for love, which Muslims regularly claim harms chastity–they also do not practice FGM. But Muslims consider polygamy, forced marriage, rape and marital rape, and sex slavery to indicate “chastity”. Muslims use words differently than we do.

For a complementary perspective from former President Obama, who knew Islam on three continents, let us recall his stirring words in Cairo:
“The U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it,” said this transformational leader and Nobel Laureate.
“I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal, but I do believe that a woman who is denied an education is denied equality. And it is no coincidence that countries where women are well-educated are far more likely to be prosperous.”
“Now let me be clear: issues of women’s equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam. In Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia, we have seen Muslim-majority countries elect a woman to lead. Meanwhile, the struggle for women’s equality continues in many aspects of American life, and in countries around the world.”
“Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity – men and women – to reach their full potential.”
CogitoErgoSum says
Moshe, can you give me some passages from the Quran to back up the idea that women are equal to men?
CogitoErgoSum says
Also, does the Quran explain why men can have up to four wives and a woman can have only one husband? I can’t find the answer to that question.

What a strange fellow, this Ayman Al-Zawahiri of al Quaeda is, thinking it strange, or even improper, that the rest of the (sane) world should, as it were, be ‘up in arms’ and ‘at war’ with his so-called ‘nation’, Islam?!
The abhorrence and detestation in the campaign against hijabs and burqas, etc, is only one small facet of it.
Many of us (most of us I would hope) in all the rest of the nations of the world (and which they – as the dictates of their doctrine clearly declares – have ultimately targeted for subugation) don’t happen very much to like this concept of having to accept and allow the cultivation and growth of some other, second, specially priviledged, ‘nation’ entity, within our own, and who’s tenants, principles, laws and dictates must be sanctioned and obeyed, without question, and to hold a precedence over and above our own.
Just WHAT, pray tell then, does Al-Zawahiri expect, when (and as is quite obvious to all who have even half a brain) you go to war with the rest of the world with the intent of forcefully subjugating it and imposing your f**ked and evil agenda on it? That we are all going to compliantly drop our pants, proffer our bum-holes , and say, “go for it – give it to us”, perhaps? The rest of the world is going to oppose you and go to war against you – just as surely as a law of physics (Mr Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, and their gang found that out).
On a personal level of things, we are well prepared (and have been for some time now). It has not yet happened that any suicidal thrill-seekers have come up our track yelling “Allah f**king Akbah!”. But to those who might harbour grand contemplations of ever coming down our little track, rabidly shouting “Allahu Akbah”, and with intentions of forcing me to bow the knee, or my woman or daughter to dress in a hijab or burqa, I’d say just try it and see what happens [A good tip would be to to make sure your will is up to date, and all your personal business is in order before doing so, because what remains of you will be wheeled back out in leak-proof plastic bags on cornor’s trollies – and we’ll leave all the bullshit filling out silly forms and answering stupid questions till later].
And another thing, and lastly (borrowing from I funny meme from some time back), WHY IS IT that, at times, some of us can barely get even one network connection bar on our phones in our own living rooms (OR have posts critical of islam immediately blocked and taken down as being ‘hate speech’), yet this excrement of humanity, the likes of bin Laden (and this piece of shit, Al-Zawahiri, and comrades) can always seem to keep uploading videos and their very latest war propaganda manifestos from some dingy cave in Afghanistan or Iran – AND (to the disgrace of those who run all these internet platforms) with seemingly blessed impunity?!
Anyway, …,hopefully this piece of shit (and Co) will also be splashed and taken out of the way very soon as well.
Hopefully also, each one of them will be accorded the same respectful disposal as their late comrade, Mr bin Laden, having their filthy carcasses marinated in pig-shit and then fed to the sharks in the Southern Ocean.

SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS
video – 13 minutes 29 seconds [Dutch with English subtitles]
This is a stunning example of how leftists and muslims along with Western governments, use selective enforcement to make sure that the European indigenous people have no rights or that laws will be enforced to the letter against them, while muslims and leftist groups will be impervious to them. In this case, we also never see ANTIFA arrested for face masks as well as Muslims, even though there is a law now against face coverings in public.

Ayman Al-Zawahiri is a vicious old misogynist. He will soon pass away and he will not be missed. He is admitting that the Islamic veil is losing support among Muslims. He naturally blames ‘The West’ … a mythical non-entity … it is actually modernity. He refuses to admit that many Muslims are reevaluting Islam today and seeing it is opposed to human dignity, equality and opportunity.
Muslims trying to live their lives effectively are finding Islam gets in the way. They are jettisoning the medieval trappings of Islam so they can be effective. All the while they are gradually assimilating into the mainstream and abandoning medieval Islam in their daily routines.
Muslims more and more maintain only a tenuous connection with Islam as a matter of descent from a Muslim family. They are non-practicing ‘cultural Muslims’. Muslims in name only.
Ayman Al-Zawahiri knows that. The imposition of a veil law won’t change women’s minds.
CogitoErgoSum says
Mortimer, I agree with you about the many people who are Muslims in name only. To these people “Muslim” is a race into which they were born and in their minds they cannot change that. To them it’s something they inherited at birth and it’s racist to criticize something that is just as much a part of them and just as unchangeable as the color of their skin. In their minds “Muslim” does not refer to a person’s religion but to a person’s race. I must admit I’ve been a little slow in understanding that idea because it’s just not the way we in the West think of either race or religion.

This war is a war of self-defense, and so is justified. Banning religious garb is a very minor step towards resisting oppression. All forms of coercion and violence must be fought against, but this is not likely to happen because our politicians quiver in fear over the wrath of the Islamists.
Valerie Koskimaki says
I am not a scholar or learned in histories. I am simply a woman. I have come to believe that Islam (demonstrated in the Quran many times) is a fraternity of men who fear women. They have such a deep seated fear of women that they must arrack her in all ways to make her believe she is inferior. The difference between men and women is purely biological for the purpose of procreation. Any and all differences after that are made in the minds of men.
Women hold the future of all mankind in their bellies.
Islam defines women as inferior when in reality they are superior. Only the oppression they are enslaved under in this ideology keeps Islam from crumbling as a religion and as a political force as is supported here.
Under attack Islam has its men hiding behind the women and the hijab. The hijab is the symbol of inferiority of women and the enforcing of how to keep this belief perpetuated is dwelt upon in the Quran endlessly.
TAKE WOMEN OUT OF ISLAM AND THERE IS NO ISLAM. The Quran is meaningless without women and Islam crumbles.
mortimer says
Quran 24:31 tells Muslim women not to make sudden motions inside their black bags that might make any part of their bodies JIGGLE and thus entice the lust of Muslim males who will then be unable to restrain themselves.
What an evil verse that is.

America Voted Biggest Threat to World Peace – Gallup”
Let’s see:
Basically, you’re whining that muslim-majority nations and/or dictatorships vying for US’s place in the global pecking order don’t like the US. Now, one would think that having nations such as Pakistan, China or Russia disliking you would be a good thing. Not according to you – “Pakistanis don’t like the US – clearly that’s a bad thing!”. You know what? Good thing that Trump is cutting on US aid to Pakistan – if they hate the US, they can hate them for free.
You also leave out that was a 2014 survey. Do you have data on the current year?
