Muslimah Misogyny: "Muslim Women Against Femen"
Why does a little girl have to cover up?
A Muslim cleric in moderate Tunisia called for her stoning death. Tunisian newspaper Kapitalis quoted preacher Almi Adel, who heads the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, saying: "The young lady should be punished according to sharia, with 80 to 100 lashes, but [because of] the severity of the act she has committed, she deserves be stoned to death." And: "Her act could bring about an
epidemic. It could be contagious and
give ideas to other women. It is therefore necessary to isolate [the
incident]. I wish her to be healed."There were rumors that her family had her locked up in an asylum. Amina now fears for her life.
Such is the life of millions of Muslim girls who want to be free in Islamic society.
Thankfully, Amina's story went viral and gained international attention. One of the more outrageous reactions was from the Ukraine-based feminist group, Femen, who staged a Topless Jihad Day, to stand in solidarity with Amina. It's not what I would do, but I loved the moxie and in-your-face action to call worldwide attention to misogyny under Muslim rule. These feminist activists held “International Topless Jihad Day” in major European cities, including Berlin, Kiev and Paris. They painted their bodies with slogans such as “bare breasts against Islamism,” and they protested outside of mosques in various cities.
“We’re free, we’re naked, it’s our right, it’s our body, it’s our rules, and nobody can use religion, and some other holy things, to abuse women, to oppress them,” Femen member Alexandra Shevchenko said while demonstrating outside a Berlin mosque in freezing temperatures.
Finally, a well-publicized response to the crushing subjugation of women under the sharia. But what happened next was ....... unforgivable. Reminiscent of the Muslim women who hold down their daughters for FGM (clitordectomy), a group of Muslim women came out against the Amina Tyler supporters. "Muslim Women Against Femen" was formed to show that Femen "does not speak for all members of their community."
The members of Muslim Women Against Femen encouraged other self-defeating supporters to participate in Muslimah Pride Day. They are posting pictures of themselves on social media (see below), declaring that they are not oppressed. Well, bully for them. Are they really that selfish? Self-absorbed? Inhuman?
If they are not oppressed, then this campaign has nothing to do with them.
Millions of women under Muslim rule are oppressed like Amina Tyler and suffer unspeakable brutality under the honor violence code of Islam. What about them? How can these Muslimahs turn their back on their sisters?
"Muslim Women Against Femen" may very well choose to wear the niqab or burka or hijab, but that is their choice. They can wear purple hair for all we care. But what about the millions of Muslimahs who are forced to wear it? What about the millions of Muslimahs who are forced into marriage, beaten or honor-killed?
The utter disregard of these Muslimahs for the fate of their sisters in other lands is either a depraved lack of humanity or a strange Stockholm syndrome. The mission statement of these supremacists is: "Muslim women who want to expose FEMEN for the Islamophobes/Imperialists that they are. We are making our voices heard and reclaiming our agency!" This exclusive self-reference, typically encountered among adolescents, accounts for the scorched-earth policy of Islamic supremacists. These Muslim women have no interest in the fate of Muslimahs victimized by the sharia because what happens to those unfortunate Muslimahs has no impact on the daily life or goals of Islamic imperialists.
Why are these Muslim women fighting those who wish to help Muslim women? FEMEN were not demanding Muslimahs remove their cloth coffins or head pieces. They were trying to help the oppressed.
Here's the thing -- this whole "Muslim Women Against Femen" is based on a false premise. Nobody is stopping these girls/women from wearing head and body coverings. But what about women who don't have the liberty to choose? That's the point.
Muslim women organize online counterprotest to Femen's Topless Jihad Day NY Daily News
Muslim Women Against Femen mobilized in the midst of Ukraine-based group Femen's Topless Jihad Day, and they are on a mission to show that the feminist group known for its bare-breast protests does not speak for all members of their community.
Supporters posted personal photo to the "Muslim Women Against Femen" Facebook group.
A group angered by the actions of topless feminist protestors is making its presence known on social media.
The members of Muslim Women Against Femen are encouraging supporters to participate in Muslimah Pride Day to show that they do not agree with the Ukraine-based group’s actions, including Thursday’s Topless Jihad Day.
“This is an opportunity for Muslim women to get a say and show people that we have a voice too, that we come in many different shapes and sizes that we object to the way we are depicted in the west, we object to the way we are lumped in to one homogenous group without a voice of agency of our own,” the group wrote on the event’s Facebook page.
Muslim Women Against Femen urged those in agreement to post pictures of themselves no matter what they opt to wear.

Femen activists participate in a topless protest near Tunisia's Embassy in Paris during Topless Jihad Day. Some Muslim women have organized an online counterprotest in response to Femen’s actions.
“Muslimah pride is about connecting with your Muslim identity and reclaiming our collective voice,” organizer Sofia Ahmed wrote on the event’s Facebook page. “Whether we choose to wear hijaabs or not is (nobody’s) business but ours.”
Femen dubbed Thursday Topless Jihad Day. Members all over Europe held bare-breasted demonstrations to show their support for Tunisian activist Amina Tyler, 19, who received death-by-stoning threats for posting topless pictures online in which “F--k your morals” and “My body belongs to me is not the source of anyone's honor” were written in Arabic.

"This day will mark the beginning of a new, genuine Arab Spring, after which true freedom, freedom without mullahs and caliphs, will come to Tunisia! Long live the topless jihad against infidels! Our tits are deadlier than your stones!" Femen wrote in a statement on its Facebook page.
In honor of in Muslimah Pride Day, women shared pictures of themselves holding signs with sayings like “Femen can’t tell me what I can and can’t wear” and “Nudity DOES NOT liberate me and I DO NOT need saving.”

“We have a brain. We don’t need your advice, Femen,” another counter-protestor wrote on her sign.

I myself come from a muslim family, but i converted to wicca when i was younger bcuz i have another view of how and what god is. My muslim family and muslim friends accept that i converted- and my brother and father are not crazy "jihad boys". I have female muslim friends who havent worn hijab their entire life, but suddenly decided that they want to start wearing hijab- simply out of free will. I also have friends who have worn hijab before, but have stopped doing so. When i was muslim, i never wore hijab and not once did my parents ever try to force me to do it. As a white women who dont know much about muslim women and their lives- your assumtions are wrong and i respect and support women who wear hijab. Women of color decide what they want to wear, white women have NO right to tell women of color what to wear. U dont own our bodies, period. And your opinions dont represent the opinions of other wiccans, specially not mine
ReplyDeleteWell first off, there is no such thing as "conversion to wicca". Wicca is NOT a religion, there is NO converting, and most of us are Atheist. That means we do not believe in "imaginary friends in the sky'.
ReplyDeleteI don't give a crap what color you are,, what the hell has color have to do with anything? You sound racist with your white women have NO right crap.
And these women who wear hijabs they blather on about morals and honor,, how pious and proper they are. Most of them look like 2 bit hookers with their makeup, skin tight jeans,, slut shoes etc etc. They are hypocrites.
LOL,,,"white women have NO right to tell women of color what to wear??? U don't own our bodies,,, are you a LOON????
I don't give a crap about you or your body,, and if you don't like western civilization LEAVE, Sharia is crap, islam is crap. We are so sick of islam,, we can't wait to see it utterly destroyed. I bet you support hamas and wish for the destruction of Israel too???
Why aren't you fighting to the rights of women and girls in IRAN to not be forced to wear this crap?
Or the women in Saudi Arabia????
You can wear a bag over your head,, we truly don't care.
We are fighting for those girls and women who are being FORCED to wear this shit. And to get these stupid women drivers off our roads wearing full garbage bags on their heads. They should not be allowed on the roads, they cannot see properly. They are a hazard to motorcycles and general traffic.
How about putting your YAPP to good use,, and protest how Iran pious muslims are throwing acid in women's faces who aren't wearing the hijab properly in their FUBAR eyes.
ReplyDeleteAnd all your "so-called" moderate friends and family,,
none of US the INFIDELS or like the muslim assholes like to call us Kafers,,
see any of you guys protesting ISIS.
You NUTCASES will protest a pen and ink drawing a frickin cartoon,, but you cannot find anyone to protest all the SHIT islam is causing on this planet???? Where is your family and why don't they protest what ISIS is doing????
You are hypocrites, imagine a world without islam and islam APOLOGISTS!!!!

زنان ایرانی قربانی اسیدپاشی
چندی پیش؛ تهدیدهایی مینبی بر اسیدپاشی به صورت زنان بدحجاب در دنیای مجازی و شبکه های اجتماعی توسط گروه های تندرو و افراطی منتشر شده بود.
و در چند هفته گذشته چندین زن جوان قربانی اسیدپاشی توسط افراد مهاجم شدند.
چند تن از کسبه محلی که شاهد ماجرا بودند، اذعان کردند که قربانیان از پوشش معمولی برخوردار بوده اند.
در این راستا؛ جانشین فرمانده پلیس اصفهان گفت: در حال برنامه ریزی برای شناسایی مجرمان هستیم.
گروه های فشار همواره از این روش ها برای ایجاد ترس در جامعه استفاده می کنند.

What Does It Mean When a Woman Wears a Muslim Headscarf?
ReplyDeleteThe following was written by the liberal Canadian philosophy professor, Elsa Schieder, PhD, reprinted with her permission:
I've been experiencing a big personal change, to do with seeing a woman wearing the Muslim headscarf. I used to have no response. Now every time I see this, I ask myself: "Just what does she believe?"
Like most Western people, I've learned to be very accepting — and even appreciative — of different styles of dress, food, music. So I used to have no response to the Muslim headdress, the hijab. It was just — you do your thing, I do mine. My response was to the color, the style — in other words, I responded as if this were a fashion item.
That has been changing. In fact, this change has lagged far behind my learning about Islam. Perhaps shockingly, it's taken me years to respond more fully to the Muslim headscarf.
There's more than one reason for this. First, I used to see few headscarves in my home city. Then, there used to be less Muslim persecution of Christians worldwide. There was also no group declaring an Islamic caliphate, rampaging from one Middle Eastern area to the next.
Most of all, my sense is that it's taken a long time for it to sink in that I'm seeing women walking around advertising that they're part of a religion that seeks world domination, that seeks the destruction of my culture and way of life, that views all non-Muslims as filthy Kafirs — to be deceived, beheaded, crucified, plotted against, terrorized, humiliated, according to the Quran, which they believe is true — or what are they doing, wearing the Muslim headscarf?
Do most non-Muslims in the West respond with hostility, aversion, fear to women advertising their adherence to such an ideology? A Canadian journalist put on the Muslim headdress for a few days in order to record the prejudice Muslim women experience — and found that she was treated more positively than without it! (She saw this as a sign of racism — that people were not entirely neutral to the headdress, and instead cared to show they were tolerant and accepting! Oh well, what can you expect from the politically correct.)
I'm asking: Does it make any sense to be extra nice to someone belonging to a religion that has, as a goal, the destruction of my society? That views people like me as inferiors who are to be made to pay a special tax? That believes no one is to talk of any non-Muslim religion to Muslims? That approves of the murder and rape of non-Muslims, the enslavement of non-Muslims, the murder of gays, the inferiority of women?
No one has asked me to respond to people wearing the Nazi swastika as if this were meaningless, to people chanting Sieg Heil as if this were a quaint cultural artifact.
So what the blinkety-blank is going on here? It's vital to respond to what is happening. If we don't respond to, say, a lion prowling our way, we're much more likely to end up as lion supper.
For me, connecting the headscarf to what it stands for has changed everything. In fact, it melted something frozen inside me. It's only natural to connect something to what it stands for. A flag. It stands for something. If we respond positively or negatively, this is because of what we see the flag stands for.
Likewise with the Muslim headdress, the hijab.
The next thing. It's vital to get the word out.
The natural response of non-Muslims to the Muslim headscarf is recoil. It stands for something more dangerous than AIDS, than Ebola.
Most of us have had our senses numbed.
All the best to a world awakening to the reality of Islam and to taking appropriate action.
I need to to thank you for this good read!!
