There are many others like this British Columbia Muslim woman, who advanced a claim for damages under B.C.’s Intimate Images Protection Act, who have been slowly and steadily undermining Western free societies and imposing what has come to be referred to as “creeping Sharia.”
How on earth can any fully clothed woman who is photographed without Muslim veiling claim the resulting photo was an “intimate image”? Such a notion is outrageous.
In Islam, women are inferior to men. This is not a Canadian value; nor does it belong in any Western society. It is based on the Qur’anic tenet:
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only what is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack desire, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And do not let them stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn to Allah together, O believers, so that you may succeed.” (Quran 24:31)
If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted….
O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful. (Quran 33:59)
The notion that a photo of an unveiled Muslim woman is an “intimate image” is absurd at best, and should point to the fact that Muslims who are Sharia-adherent do not belong in Western societies, unless, of course they are willing to put aside the aspects of their religion that are at odds with Western laws and culture.
Islam, however, is a religion that was established and expanded by means of conquest, both via violence and stealth (eg. lawfare), so it is unlikely that Shara-adherent Muslims will be willing to put aside any aspect of their religion that infidels do not embrace, even when they live in infidel lands.
“Photos of ‘unveiled’ Muslim woman are not intimate images: B.C. tribunal,” by Lisa Steacy, CTV News, September 14, 2025:
Photos of a Muslim woman in which she is not wearing a hijab are not intimate images, a B.C. tribunal has ruled.
The Civil Resolution Tribunal published its decision on the case Friday, dismissing a claim for damages under B.C.’s Intimate Images Protection Act. The legislation allows people to seek up to $5,000 in compensation from individuals who share or threaten to share their intimate images without consent.
The woman, whose identity is anonymized under a publication ban, told the tribunal photos of her without her hijab were shared with court officials, some of whom were male, by her ex-husband in the course of a family law proceeding.
“The applicant says that because she is a Muslim woman, she does not appear unveiled, without her hijab, in front of unrelated men. She argues the involuntary exposure of her hair, arms, or body to unrelated men is equivalent to public nudity,” tribunal vice-chair Andrea Ritchie wrote.
“She says the respondent, who shares her faith, knows this and improperly submitted the photos to the court in an attempt to humiliate and degrade her.”
Ritchie reviewed the photos and found the woman was shown without her hijab in 13 images, but also found the photos did not meet the legal criteria of intimate images.
“I found none of the images depicted the applicant nude, nearly nude, engaged in a sexual act, or exposing her genitals, anal region, or breasts. Although the applicant subjectively believes the images were ‘intimate’ as defined by the IIPA, I found the legislation’s intent was not to cover such a situation,” Ritche’s decision continued.
“I find the applicant’s images without her hijab do not depict her as ‘nearly nude.’”
Additionally, the tribunal found a photo of the woman kissing her ex-husband did not depict a sexual act.
“I find that kissing, although it can be intimate, is not by definition a sexual act. I say this because parents and grandparents kiss their children and grandchildren, friends may kiss to say hello, people may kiss their pets….
somehistory says
Well, good for the tribunal and Ms. Ritchie. Common sense overrides the evils and stupidity of islime.
Isabella Hale says
The continuing nonsense with regard the Sharia law and MEN’s rights over woman is really not only absurd it is stupid. I guess the women are also brainwashed as well. Just think of being able to walk around in a fully dressed “custume”.. would be able to hide? That is my objection to anyone wearing those masks and head to toe costumes.
somehistory says
Some years ago, an account was published here of a male in a burqa committing murder with video of the slime doing the evil and just walking away….’hiding in the costume.”
Isabella Hale says
Don’t feel bad: my son was at an used outdoor book sale and said the people were waving their hairy arm pits around .. to STINK so other people couldn’t get close to the books which were on sale. Yep.. so seeing one’s arms and legs is nudity..
The total ignorance is beyond the pale

Alas, many Muslim women embrace the oppresson of Islam. In the Islamc State some Muslim women were involved n enslaving Yezidi women for use as sex slaves.
Detlef says
Yes the same fate awaits the UK Germany and other western.
We men can see things clearer, but the western women are oblivious and just can’t see it. Case in point, Germany. They continue to vote for more migration as it all crumbles. At best, 15 percent are bamboozled by some “migration control” parties, who once they get in, never carry out the deportation order, or slyly fly more Muslim in without telling us, and we found out only in news.
As Muslims pillage in front of our eyes, the German woman votes the pro migration parties. Who is at the Hamas March? It’s all white women.
The vote are not there to change the inevitable outcome of their victory. It is all numbers and numbers of voters. White women voters + naturalized migrants = the end of the west.
Interesting that they only seek out Muslims. Not many Hindus, Philippines, Brazilian? The Muslims are vastly favored by the immigration beauricracy stacked with the white wonan, and Muslim migrant.
After the Balkan wars, the Christian refugees were sent back, but the Muslims mysteriously were all allowed to stay due to many strange factors.
gravenimage says
Detlef, your belief that my noting that many Muslim women are actually committed to Islam was actually instead my saying that Western women are incapable of rational thought re Jihad is *much* mistaken.
I am female myself. and very much understand the threat of Islam. Others here include contributors Christine Douglas-Williams, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Hatun Tash, Anni Cyrus, and posters like Somehistory, GE, and Dumbledore’s Army.
And the claim that all supporters of Hamas are white women is just mistaken.
And the idea that all white women “seek out Muslims” is also mistaken. I have been with my husband for over 36 years, and I did not marry a Muslim.
Of course there are Western women who are clueless about the threat of Islam. but they are hardly the only ones–nor is it just men who are Anti-Jihadists.
Detlef says
Don’t tell to me what I see. My family has been in this town for generations and it has been gradual over run by Muslims! I have two children I must now pay private school because them Muslim who the German women vote socialist have taken over.
Now I must also pay 50 percent to tax and Muslim go to the free school I pay, get welfare and healthcare.
I know what the facts are. If you took away right to vote from German women, all the Muslims would never have comes, and whoever is here would be gone in one day one matter or another!
And now, this same German women can not go on the train but refuse to face reality! Trust me, they know deep down.
The last line of defense of Germany is being ruined as we speak. Our police were the most professional in the world, but take a guess who is taking over, and take a guess who is organizing their takeover. Please guess!
gravenimage says
OK–I won’t tell you that Anti-Jihad women exist, nor that many men are clueless about the threat of Islam since you say that you are incapable of seeing this.
But since you are bent on stripping women of the vote, have I got a creed for you! It will not only prevent women from voting, but from gettng an educaton, working outside the home, and being able to move about without a male chaprone, all enforced by volence.
Boy, that’ll shut up women like the ones I noted–and like Pamela Geller and Brigitte Gabriel! Couldn’t be any problems then, rght…
Detlef says
You don’t understand Muslims and what’s happening in Europe and how things gotten like this.
You don’t whole much pressure are the German workers right now. If they move them in, your house lost 200 thousand, your school is a no go zone, and you need a new house.

Actually, I understand the threat of Islam in Britain and Europe very well.
Imposing Shari’ah law is *not* going to help matters.

I wish there were a way of voting for comments. I would give you two thumbs up for yours. You are very well informed on Islam.

2025 and a tribunal has to spend their time deciding on bullshit like this. Muslims should be told to go and live absurd, primitive, hopeless lives in their Muslim countries in the way that the Hungarians tell them. The civilised non Muslims of the world moved on from primitive crap that Muslim knuckle draggers carry on with thousands of years ago.

Canada: British Columbia tribunal rules that photos of ‘unveiled’ Muslim woman are not ‘intimate images’
………………………………………….
A lttle bit of sanity. Thank you, Canada.

Yeah, good for British Columbia! Not sure whether I’d congratulate all of Canada over this
gravenimage says
Well, all who agree, certainly.
Rotten says
Just think. If Canada did not import ANY Muslims, we would not be wasting time and resources and emotions on this. To solve the problem, all Muslims in Canada, leave. A moderate Muslim does not guarantee their children will be moderate. So ALL Muslims leave.
OLD GUY says
There is NO such thing as a moderate Muslim, Islam demands they support jihad.
Rarely says
There was a time when it was illegal to wear a face covering (mask) in public. It’s probably still on the books and should be enforced. It cut down on crime.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
💯
Richard says
Does Islam even qualify as a religion?
Is there a legal definition of a “CULT’ and is Islam not a “CULT’?
and if so, are “CULTS” not illegal?
There is really nothing in Koran that allows infidels to live as an equal society.
gravenimage says
A cult is a small religion–Islam, sadly, is actually quite large. And your belief that cults are illegal in Canada is mistaken.
That beng said, though, as you note many aspects of the practice of Islam, like conquering raping, and murderng non-Muslims, *is* illegal. and these laws need to be much better enforced.
