Tania Fernandes Anderson’s twisted reasoning here is that Mahsa Amini was killed for wearing her hijab, and Muslim women in the U.S. supposedly are targets of “Islamophobia” for wearing hijab, so therefore her birthday should be “Hijab Day.” Yes, it’s insane. Yes, it’s a slap in the face for the Iranian protestors who are risking their lives to stand up to Iran’s Islamic regime. Yes, it’s the American Left.
“Boston councilor proposes official ‘Hijab Day’ on Mahsa Amini’s birthday,” Jerusalem Post, October 23, 2022:
Boston Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson put forward a resolution forward late last week, suggesting that Mahsa Amini’s birthday, September 23, should be recognized as Boston’s official Hijab Day, according to the official City of Boston, in a move that has sparked considerable outrage.
On Thursday, October 19, Fernandes Anderson stood in front of the city council and spoke about her worries regarding the rise of Islamophobia that surrounds hijab-wearing women in the US.
“For the past few weeks, people of good conscience a month or so from around the world have joined in the protest, the thousands across Iran demanding justice for Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who died after three days in custody of Iran’s notorious morality police after being accused of not properly covering her hair,” she said.
“These protests in the heart of Iran have featured brave women burning their scarves and cutting their hair in the face of arrest, abuse, and in some cases, even death to show their solidarity with Amini’s family and their will for freedoms and access to a joyful life absence of suppression from an oppressive state.”
She continued, talking about the protests and Amini, leading the conversation to focus on justice for Amini and the other women who were killed for the crime of improperly worn hijabs, demonstrating the various ways one can wear a hijab, seemingly to prove that there is no incorrect way to do so.
“I, an African woman, wear my scarf and put it in a bun. It’s simple,” she said, adding that meanwhile, “Mahsa Amini said, ‘I’ll just wrap it around. It’s not a big deal, it’s just a scarf.’
“You see, whether I wear it or I don’t, it’s my choice,” she ended her speech, justifying the resolution she was putting forward….

Wow, what kind of Irrational twisted cognition that Muslim Boston councilor must have a “Hijab Day ” declared for that “reason.” It would instant be very rational to have that murder of Mahsa Amini by the misogynistic Islamic regime of Iran to have national and even worldwide “The Hijab is the Symbol of Islamic Oppression and Murder of Young Women Day.” declared .
A second good idea would be to have that murder of Mahsa Amini be an official declaration of a “The Hijab is a pagan Hoax ” day.
For it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this what an outright liar Rasis is, for he said that he is “a defender of human rights.” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started. Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam with its Hijab is a hoax

She’s an idiot.
Several months ago, boston was in the news because they wouldn’t allow a flag to be flown that would represent some Christian activity…even though they flew all kinds of flags on their pole…**all** kinds representing a lot of different groups and *causes.*
Now this insult to the young women killed over the rag of domineering slavery. someone needs to take her aside and give her a good piece of mind, because hers is lacking thought and common sense cells.
PRCS says
“over the rag of domineering slavery”
Per Qur’an 33:59, it was to distinguish free, chaste Muslim women from slaves and prostitutes in order to avoid “abuse” from Muslim men–a long, long time ago in a place far, far away. That primary purpose remains the same to this day. We cannot do much–if anything–about that in Afghanistan or Aceh or Saudi Arabia or Iran et al, but we can challenge ‘our’ Muslims either to defend that hateful, supremacist nonsense or to reject it.
Those who assert the Islamic veil ‘enslaves’ Muslim women; this from Qur’an 24:31:
“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”
Slaves are what those darlings possessed, and sometimes still do, and those male attendants were likely eunuchs.
We must first learn what that hateful religion actually teaches, commands and demands in order to confront it.

Chutzpah, is a Yiddish word for shameless audacity. I think that this twisted thinking of hers is beyond Chutzpah…. hopefully she will be called out on this despicable betrayal of the murdered woman, her death and what it actually meant.

The city that’s trying to do gain-of-function experiments is also interpreting what the Iranian women are demonstrating against as just the opposite
somehistory says
They ae denying that it’s gof…but have created a deadly virus strain…for what purpose if not the gof. Seems like boston has gone down the tubes morally, legally, ethically in their choice of city councilors.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“You see, whether I wear it or I don’t, it’s my choice,” she ended her speech, justifying the resolution she was putting forward….”
But in islamic republics, it’s NOT a choice!
somehistory says
People like her, don’t seem to *get that fact* at all. It’s a *choice* for her, and she’s *powerful* and taking control, but fails to see that mozlum women in mozlum ruled nations are not given a choice. The only choice they are given is keep bending to the will of the tyrants, or die for opposing their dictatorship…and that could easily come from their closest male relative.
Wellington says
Strongly seconded, James, but of course never count on the Left to reason correctly.
Leftism is Dumbthink. If I know anything, I know this.
Wonder of it all is that Leftism has virtually any followers anymore. Guess there are a lot of dumb people out there, especially the worst kind of dumb people, i.e., the well educated ones.
James Lincoln says
Thank you for your replies somehistory and Wellington.
Dave says
And I propose that this councilwoman’s birthday be officially called “Gaslighter’s Day”.
Scotsman48 says
Women like her really are as dumb as a box of rocks and yet she stands up and preachers her garbage when there are so many islamic Nations she could move too.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Talk about adding insult to injury. She is a perfect example of why the average IQ of the United States is falling. Not only do we, as a nation tolerate such stupidity, but we are called to embrace, protect, and promote such dangerous submental madness. It’s too bad the audience wasn’t made up of the Iranian women fighting for their freedoms. Obviously, she was elected into office by fellow morons who embrace identity politics first and foremost as the guiding principle in their choice of candidates. Sometimes I feel America is circling the drain.
Walter Sieruk says
The wisdom of the words of Abraham Lincoln very much do apply to that Boston councilor when she said that nonsensical statement. ..
For Mr. Lincoln has wisely said “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up a remove all doubt.”
