Liberal French women are putting on hijabs in ‘solidarity’ with Muslims amid Marine Le Pen’s call to ban them in public.
Strangely, we never hear about removing the hijab in solidarity with women in Iran and Afghanistan who die for wearing it wrong, or taking it off.

The actual oppression related to the hijab is not linked to wearing it, but to not wearing it. Actual incidents of Muslim women being harassed or discriminated against for wearing the hijab in France or anywhere in the West, meanwhile, are extraordinarily hard to find. It’s much easier to find examples of Muslim women who falsely claimed that they were being harassed or discriminated against in order to score points on the left’s insane scale of victimhood worship.
Back on Sept. 16, 2022, in Tehran, the Iranian morality police arrested Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, for not wearing her hijab properly. Amini later died in a hospital in Tehran, and numerous Iranians charged that she had been tortured to death while in custody. All over the country, protesters took to the streets to protest not against the hijab laws, but against the repressive and brutal Islamic Republic itself.
Other women, and male protesters as well, were killed as the Iranian regime ruthlessly applied the Qur’anic injunction to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60). The protests went on for months until the regime began summarily executing protesters, and even then some indomitably courageous Iranians continued to take to the streets to demand their freedom.
It is against that backdrop that these French women are celebrating the hijab. For innumerable women in Iran, the hijab is the most visible sign of their second-class status, and of the brutality of the regime that will imprison them for years or even kill them outright for daring to venture out in public without wearing it.
The Iranian authorities call their morality police the “Guidance Patrol,” an Orwellian name that makes them sound as if they’re a bunch of benign, avuncular individuals selflessly dedicated to helping young Iranians avoid moral pitfalls and stay on the straight and narrow. A more accurate name, however, would be the Terror Patrol, for the morality that these officials enforce is not the virtuous person’s free choice of the good, but the enforced obedience of those who are frightened into submission.
In one such incident, an eleven-year-old girl in Toronto made international headlines with her claim that a man had followed her and cut her hijab with scissors. After an investigation, police concluded that the attack never happened. Likewise, Yasmin Seweid, a Muslim teen, claimed in December 2016 that Trump supporters on a New York subway tore off her hijab and no one in the packed subway car helped her. She, too, gained international media attention, and she, too, made up the whole thing. Shortly before that, a hijab-wearing Muslim student at San Diego State University also falsely claimed that she was assaulted by Trump supporters.
In July 2017, a Muslim in Britain falsely claimed that a man had pulled off her hijab in a “race hate attack.” In November 2016, a University of Michigan Muslim student claimed she was “accosted by a white man who told her to remove her hijab or he would set her ablaze with a cigarette lighter.” She also fabricated the whole event. And there are many others of this kind, but these French feminists, of course, have taken no notice.
Nor have they ever acknowledged the fact that women are far more likely to be oppressed for not wearing the hijab than for wearing it, and not just in Iran. In Mississauga, Ontario, a few years back, Aqsa Parvez’s Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it. Amina Muse Ali was a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab. Forty women were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab.
Alya Al-Safar’s Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain. Amira Osman Hamid faced whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab. An Egyptian girl, also named Amira, committed suicide after being brutalized by her family for refusing to wear the hijab. Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia were told they had to wear the hijab or be fired. Women in Chechnya were shot with paintballs by police because they weren’t wearing hijab. Other women in Chechnya were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab.
When do the French feminists plan to recognize all these women, and so many others who have been brutalized or even killed for not wearing hijab?

Theory: Treated in the aggregate, Leftist men are fools but Leftist women are even greater fools.
somehistory says
they are not “in solidarity with the women”…..they are in solidarity with the muzzie scum who rape, imprison and murder the women who don’t wear it, and with the muzzies who decide it’s being worn “wrong.”
these idiot…or evil….women are working for the success of muzzie rapists all over the earth; the ones who kidnap, entrap, rape and torture young girls who are infidels.

You can’t reason with most women. Some understand the threat and vote accordingly, but most have a warped perception which I find very difficult to process.
Basically, Islam is a religion of peace, and Muslims all over the world fight for justice, and they can only point to “Palestinian resistance”in their pathetic hope to justify their ignorant ideology. Also, most of them are far leftists, and they see Muslims voting in leftists, so that is even more proof that Muslims are on board with this nonsense global justice movement.
To actually support the burqa, is de facto proof of mental illness of some sort. They must know damn well the burka is a core pillar of the Islamic patriarchy, and gender inequality which they so hard fight against supposedly.
To them, it is a battle of good versus evil, meaning Islam is good and the west and Christianity is evil, even though Christianity is for the most part also pro Islamic now, it has become so only to impress these women, yet they still scold it anyway….
They only will accept total surrender to Islam as acceptable, nothing else. A lot of these leftists also require the manpower and muscle to overthrow the conservatives and the west in general, these “justice fighters” now are arriving on shore daily, and these women hope these Islamist migrants will help liberate them one day. They don’t want the migrants to lose their Islamist ideology because that ideology is needed to keep them angry and willing to fight once the opportunity arrives.

Beans, you *do* realize that Somehistory is also a woman?
Your idea that only women are dhimmis is much mistaken. I am also an Anti-Jihadist woman.
But it is true that women are apt to suffer even more under Islam than are men.

Spot on, Somehistory.
Huh?!? says
I wonder if they are getting paid.

We never hear the leftist shows solidarity to the women who are forced to wear hijab every where, not just in Iran.

If your head of hair is so alluring to men with a hair fetish and if you truly want to be comfortable in your modesty and avoid the gaze and advances of men -then you can just wear a hat.
But it’s obvious that the Islamic head-covering is just that -Islamic. It’s not a fashion statement which is a personal choice but a compelled religious and public antisocial requirement that these women knowingly abide by.
It’s not as if women never have or don’t wear headscarves (bad-hair-day, or glamorous movie star incognito look) and there’s nothing sinister in that although you wouldn’t expect a bank employee to be dealing with your enquiry while wearing Raybans.
Modesty in Islam is something that seems to be self-contradictory -if Muslim males in ancient cultures grew up never having known what a woman’s head of hair was like, or whatever else that was part of the package was like, how could they have any libidinal response to those things. All they ever saw of women was some black clad burka ghoul at the back of the house emptying latrines (“woman’s work”).
Hijabis could live in peace by using a more subtle movie-star incognito style. But they don’t want that. They want to “practise their faith” in public and make sure their covered head is in your face, you infidel.

I saw a video on the internet where men were noticing that leftist women are going tribal and separating in to their own group. One of the points was that men don’t need those women to secure their rights. On the other hand the tribal women would need men to secure their rights because they wont be able to do it themselves. Not when they are up against muslims. And no, no matter how much they beg or plead western men are not going to help them. They have painted themselves in to a corner. Good luck with that leftist females.
tgusa says
If men figure out how to make babies without the need for women those leftist women are screwed. Game over. The fat lady will have sung.

Well they would wouldn’t they ……. It would’ve been more newsworthy if they hadn’t !
Charles Wilson says
The hijab is by definition a symbol of Islam. Islam has correctly been defined by Richard Dawkins as an evil superstition that is arguably ruining Britain. He is correct. There is no argument once you accept the fact that religious freedom is meaningless unless we can agree on a definition of religion. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are not noble world religions as we have been educated to believe; they are infantile superstitions. Tom Paine who wrote The Age of Reason proposed a genuine scientific basis for for religion. Religion needs to be based on a rational definition of God, not a monster in the sky with a penis who resurrects billions of unbelievers to torture them for all eternity in hell. Hell is a blasphemy. Islam is thus blasphemous. Islam is not a religion; its a misogynistic superstition based on nursery rhymes. The hijab symbolizes the infinite torture of infidel women in the afterlife: it is pure traitorhood to women and to God to wear it.
tgusa says
My proffered word to describe islam is… insidious. It is, throughout, insidious. Insidious not only to non-muslims but to their islamic adherents as well. To sum it up in a few words…all around bad no matter who you are.
Namer says
Soon all women in France will have to wear hijabs, They wont have a choice and these liberal women will find out what subjugation to a man really is. The liberal women in France deserver it but not the rest of the women in France.
