UK: Boris Johnson still refuses to apologize for comparing burqa-wearing women to letter boxes and bank robbers

Sep 5, 2019 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“British Prime Minister Boris Johnson refused to apologize for Islamophobic comments he wrote in 2018 comparing Muslim women in burqas to letterboxes and bank robbers.” Johnson has stood firm on this issue. He was once threatened to be sent by his party to “diversity training” over his face veil comments, and right after he made […]

Indonesia: After sex abuse scandal in Islamic boarding school, girls required to wear face veils

Aug 4, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“In mid-July, the male head of a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in the ultraconservative province of Aceh, as well as one of the school’s male teachers, were arrested by police for allegedly sexually assaulting 15 of the school’s male students.” The abuse was against male students, and caused such a scandal that the pesantren was […]

Sadiq Khan’s London: acid attack on 3 people by “people wearing burqas”

Jun 25, 2019 11:31 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Three people had acid thrown on them in two separate incidents… in London, including a market stall vendor targeted by people wearing burqas.” Despite the crime and chaos in London, Sadiq Khan still stands proud as ever as mayor, along with his Member of Parliament supporter Naz Shah who recently slammed the UK government for […]

Sri Lanka considers burqa ban following Easter jihad bombings

Apr 24, 2019 5:17 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In response to the jihadist bombings in Sri Lanka, the country is now considering banning the burqa “after police found several women suspected of having aided the Easter terror attacks were wearing burqas.” Western Leftists have been too busy screaming “Islamophobia” and “racism” to notice that many countries have banned the burqa for security reasons. […]

Australia: Asked to speak about the burqa, Muslim women say “I’d love to but my husband won’t let me”

Nov 27, 2018 10:40 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

‘I’d love to but my husband won’t let me’: Muslims gather for prayers in western Sydney – where women aren’t allowed to talk about their burqas without checking with a man first About the burqa (and the niqab, which is routinely conflated with the burqa in the Western press), mainstream Muslim groups push the lie […]

Christine Douglass-Williams: “Incalculable number of women” abused for decision to stop wearing full-body veils

Nov 1, 2018 9:44 am By Robert Spencer

In this interview with Sputnik News, Jihad Watch writer Christine Douglass-Williams exposes a great deal about the systematic and institutionalized abuse of women under Islamic law. Indeed, the second-class status of women is ingrained in Sharia, and set out in numerous passages of the Qur’an and Hadith. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to […]

UK double standard: Prominent Leftists attacked the burqa, never got Boris Johnson treatment

Aug 17, 2018 6:38 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

It’s no secret that different rules apply to Leftist politicians and media than to those of the right-wing persuasion. Establishment ‘conservatives’ and left-liberal politicians and journalists have rushed to condemn Brexiteer former foreign secretary Boris Johnson for his comments on the “ridiculous” burqa, branding him “Islamophobic” and even “racist” — but have not shied away […]

UK: Conservative Party may send Boris Johnson to “diversity training” over face veil comments

Aug 14, 2018 8:54 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

While UK politician Boris Johnson could be sent to “diversity training” for making a joke and comparing how women look wearing the Islamic face veil to “letter boxes” and “robbers,” other nations have behaved more realistically: in 2015, Chad banned the full-face veil following two jihad suicide bomb attacks by Boko Haram that killed over […]

UK: MP Boris Johnson accused of “Islamophobia,” refuses to apologize over burqa joke

Aug 10, 2018 9:45 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A former Mayor of London and current Member of Parliament, Boris Johnson, made headlines for his comments about women wearing the burqa: He stated: He did not want the full-face veil and gown donned by some Muslim women to be banned in Britain but the outfit was “ridiculous” and “weird”. He also said it made […]

Denmark bans Islamic full-face veil in public spaces

Jun 2, 2018 5:37 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Denmark has become “the latest European country to ban the Islamic full-face veil in public spaces in a move slammed by human rights campaigners as ‘a violation of women’s rights.’” This is the real violation of women’s rights: (Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts […]

Montreal mayor opposes law forcing burqa-wearing women to show faces to access public services

Aug 22, 2017 9:38 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre is challenging the Province of Quebec for “forcing Muslim women to uncover their faces if they want access to public services.” Should Coderre succeed, the public will be put at risk, not because of so-called “Islamophobia,” but because there have been widespread jihad attacks throughout the West and continued calls from […]

UK: Muslim cleric calls for burqa ban in Britain

Oct 20, 2016 1:56 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

An Oxford-based Muslim cleric has called for Britain to ban the burqa, arguing that the wearing of a face veil is not Islamic but the product of a misogynistic culture. He further argues: Since the burqa and niqab are ancient habits and not mentioned in the Koran, it is, therefore, pre-Islamic, not Koranic and ipso […]

Germany: Hijab fashion stores linked to Salafism

Sep 15, 2016 7:21 pm By Blain Tamarin

The mental gymnastics is pretty impressive in this one. On the one hand, the author quotes the Brookings Institution, saying “Salafism is the idea that the most authentic and true Islam is found in the lived example of early, righteous generations of Muslims, known as the Salaf, who were closest both in time and proximity to […]

Germany: If you ban burqa, you have to ban Santa Claus outfit, too

Aug 25, 2016 6:48 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

To think that Ralf Jäger — despite his bad reputation over the New Year’s Eve sex assaults and the chaos happening in Germany due to the migrant crisis — would shamelessly continue to partake in the erosion of Germany’s civilized culture by defending the burqa and putting it on par with a Santa Claus outfit.

Islamophobes urge Canadian government to ban burqas, niqabs in public — no, wait…

Oct 7, 2009 4:23 pm By Robert Spencer

Actually it was a Canadian Muslim group — a group that knows full well what these garments mean for the subjugation of women. But our enlightened multicultural Western governments know better, of course. “Muslim group urges gov’t to ban burkas, niqabs in public,” from The Canadian Press, October 7 (thanks to Maxwell): TORONTO — Middle […]

Pakistani cops stop attack by burqa-clad jihadists

Sep 16, 2009 5:38 am By Robert Spencer

In the West, the “right” of Muslim women to cover their faces is uniformly presented as a civil rights and religious freedom issue. In reality, as this story from the good side of Pakistan’s double game shows, it is a security issue. “Pakistani Police Thwart Attack,” by Zahid Hussain in the Wall Street Journal, September […]
