There are people who actually think this Sharia advocate is a “moderate.” There are always some people who are not just willing, but eager, to be fooled. But if he supports hijab, and apparently forced hijab as well, as in Iran, then he likely supports the rest of Sharia as well. Most Americans have no idea what that entails, and American authorities certainly aren’t going to tell them.

MEMRI excerpt:
“Texas Islamic Scholar Yasir Qadhi Compares Iranian Hijab Protests To ‘Fighting For Nudity Rights In Texas,’ Adds: Criticism Of Iranian Regime – Double Standard By A Country That Caused The Death Of Over One Million People In Iraq And Afghanistan,” MEMRI, September 29, 2022:
In a video posted to the East Plano Islamic Center’s YouTube channel on September 29, 2022, prominent American Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi spoke about the protests that have been taking place in Iran since the recent death of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman who died after being beaten and arrested by Iran’s “morality police” for wearing her hijab “improperly”.
Yasir Qadhi: “In the last two weeks I have been inundated with dozens of emails with one particular focus or theme…
[…]
“…regarding the enforcement of the hijab in a particular country, and apparently it caused the death of somebody.
[…]
“In every single state, there are laws against indecency, and if you show certain parts of the body, and if you show certain organs of your body, you shall be fined, and if you continue to do so, you shall go to jail.
[…]
“But the notion of the state telling you a minimal amount that you can wear, that is pretty much universal. And even in those lands where there’s no law against nudity — there are some countries in Europe and what not, where you’re not gonna go to jail or what not — there is still laws against obscenity. Practicing conjugal relationships with somebody in public, that will get you into jail pretty much anywhere.
[…]
“What I’m asking you to think about, dear sister, is to look through the double standards, and to understand that this notion of fetishizing the hijab and the headscarf, and saying ‘Oh, they have the right to not wear it,’ well then why aren’t these same people fighting for the rights of nudity here in Texas? Why aren’t they fighting for the rights of no man and woman — or sorry, every man and woman — to wear nothing in every single state in Europe and every single country and city across the world? They’re not doing that, so why then should the norms of one land, here in America, be the norms of the Middle East?
[…]
“Do you really wanna jump on the bandwagon of a country that has invaded three other countries, that has been the direct cause of the death of over a million people in Iraq and Afghanistan, that has destabilized the entire middle east, that has supported dictators for the last 50 years?”

This wanker’s arguments are a complete load of crap. The comparison between this bizarre, sick idea in islam that women have to cover up their head hair and people going around nude is beyond moronic. I have never understood this very sick Muslim obsession and ban on women daring to have their head hair uncovered. It is downright bizarre. But, of course, it is really all about control, dominance. As for this fuckwit then going on to the totally irrelevant argument about how the USA has killed people in wars, well, that has nothing to do with this hijab issue at all. islam has murdered 270 million people so far, so nobody, just on those grounds alone, should have anything to do with islam. These primitive knuckle draggers from islam are beyond a joke with their stupidity.

What is he doing in Texas then?
According to his Muslim mindset and arguments he must himself be on the bandwagon and enjoying it. What then is this hypocrite doing in Texas? Why does he live in a non-Islamic host nation that he passionately hates?
Proof again that Islam, its mindset and people who adhere to its wicked doctrines are incompatible and will always be a dangerous 5th column in any non-Muslim host nation that it illegally and deceitfully migrates to; stupid enough to host and accommodate it; suicidal enough to integrate it; and willfully blind enough (politicians) not to speedily repatriate it.

Plano is one of the richer places in Texas. How can all of these creepy thugs afford to live in the better high-end places?
Furthermore, he would like nothing better than for women to go naked in public in Texas. Because he knows full well the wearing of the scarf is a signal to all mozlum males that they should not rape the woman wearing one, but should look for an *uncovered* woman…to rape.
I can hear him salivating from where I sit. Lust and murder. In islam, lust and murder are paired like camels and cud.
Go down to the coast, to Corpus to the beaches on South Padre Island. He’d see some of the women going swimming are nearly nude. What if they wore a bathing cap like women did in the old days? Their hair would be covered, but he could ogle and lust to his evil hearts’ desire.

Dear Imam
The people of Texas can decide whether they want public nudity or not. Same for people of Europe. However, it’s not even remotely close to Iranian women throwing off their chadors and dressing normally, like normal people in the 21st century
somehistory says
Yes, the woman who wants to go nude, and does so in Texas, may be arrested, but she won’t be beaten to death.
In Florida, several years ago, a group of women decided they wanted to go topless and did so on the street near the beach. The cops came and told them to put their shirts back on, but they refused, and were arrested. But, they lived to tell about it.
Scotsman48 says
I do not understand why such morons as this dude lives in a place like Texas if they hate the country and its values so much as we did not invite him to Texas in order to enrich us with his islamic garbage.
muslim men want all the woman to cover up so that the men will not feel the urge to rape them, therefore muslim men are admitting they are all in fact… rapists to the core…
How can he speak of the evil America did by invading three countries without mentioning that islam conquered and slaughtered millions upon millions on their way from Istanbul to Kabul all of which was many countries that did not want islam and now they are all islamic and that was not done through love.
notoislam says
These terrorists want to get their hands on all of the stuff that they think will make them rich. It will not but factions of society –islamists who believe that garbage and all the lies of islam elect to stay in the USA because they can CON people and still talk their talk.When will the USA GROW UP AND LOWER THE BOOM ON THESE LIARS OF ISLAM????

“Texas Islamic Scholar Yasir Qadhi Compares Iranian Hijab Protests To ‘Fighting For Nudity Rights In Texas,’”
The Scholar’s linking of Iranian Hijab Protests with Nudity Rights in Texas is odd. Would it be acceptable to the Scholar if nudists in Texas walk around naked and barefoot as long as they cover the hair on their head with a hijab? Is that the logic he is trying to link with his comparison?
bill carr says
Once again these Moose Limb clerics demonstrate their lack of intellectual ability, with their nonsensical comparisons
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Such a fragile soul to be so threatened by women. This is a creep that supports the rape of young girls as put forth by the ideology he represents.
PMK says
An assistant professor from Johns Hopkins frames this as a matter of ‘choice’. She refused to address the issue of Sharia law and what it entails in Muslim countries. She framed the rules for the hijab as a symbol of the ‘patriarchy’.
Michael Copeland says
“Jews and Christians are filthy: their lives and property can be taken by the muslims in jihad.”
