How many of the people who are threatening Marzieh Hamidi are right there with her in France, thanks to that country’s mass migration policies?
“Afghan athlete under police protection in France after denouncing Taliban,” RFI, September 13, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Marzieh Hamidi, a former taekwondo champion for Afghanistan who now lives in France as a refugee, has been placed under police protection after protesting against the Taliban’s treatment of women.
She told RFI she had been flooded with threatening messages since posting a video on social media at the end of August denouncing “gender apartheid” in her homeland.
Filming herself on a Paris street, Hamidi denounced the Taliban’s restrictions on women’s clothing, education and other basic freedoms, including doing sport.
She invited her followers to use the hashtag #LetUsExist to “be the voice for [those] who are voiceless inside Afghanistan”.
Re-shared thousands of times, the post ended up attracting the attention of Afghan media.
The situation escalated when a journalist asked Hamidi her opinion of Afghanistan’s popular national cricket team, she told RFI. The men’s squad has continued to play with the backing of the Taliban government, while women players have been driven into exile.
Hamidi told the interviewer that she believed the male players were “normalising the Taliban” and did not represent Afghan women. “So for me, they are a terrorist cricket team, not a national cricket team,” she said.
The interview appeared on YouTube a few days later and quickly drew a backlash.
“The day after, I was at my home and I received the first call,” Hamidi told RFI’s Frédérique Genot.
It came from a man speaking Pashto. “He told me: ‘I have your address in Paris, just be aware that I will find you.'”
No giving up
In the space of three days, Hamidi says she received calls from some 3,000 different numbers in France and other European countries, as well as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Malaysia and elsewhere.She moved out of her home and contacted her lawyer, who went to the police. They have had Hamidi under special protection since early September….

Hamidi is Afghan and can speak out and not be called a bigot. If I said the same thing, I am a bigot. How hypocrisy is there that only certain people can call out the facts.

More pertinently, she is apparently (still) a muslimah. Contrast that w/ Salwan Momika, who is either an Atheist to begin w/ or an ex-muslim. So it’s not just White non-muslims who are discriminated against, but also non-muslims from the same countries that these mohammedans came from. Otoh, if you had embraced islam and then done something incendiary, you would have been treated w/ kid gloves as a part of the ummah
