New in PJ Media:
If Kathy Hochul can do it, why can’t French feminists?
French opposition leader Marine Le Pen has come out in favor of banning the hijab, and leading the rage mob are not Muslim women defending their alleged “choice,” but non-Muslim leftist feminists, who have taken to social media to don hijabs in self-righteous fury against the “far-right.” They may come, before too long, to regret their folly, as they are standing with the forces of oppression and misogyny.
Yet 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.
There is more. Read the rest here.

In the Islamic world a hijab donning woman is just as hopeful of getting carnal eternal pleasures as their men. Hence the justification (though they may not admit it on camera). The useful idiots in France and elsewhere don’t seem to have any clue of what they are doing or the meaning associated with hijab . They just seem to be on board with the fascists/ thugs of the world fighting the conservative world. This is just as reckless as it can get.
When you choose destruction, the chances are you will be dragged into the cesspool of it. That is the impression one is getting.

Women’s rights have nothing to do with the feminists of today. They espouse men in women’s sports and second class treatment with men enforcing their clothing.

On tables of the past, one might see a bottle of syrup with a smiling Black lady wearing a headscarf covering her hair….because she was a working woman and wanted to keep her hair out of the food, and dust and flour out of her hair.
Women who wore the scarf doing housework, or work in the fields, took the scarves off when work was done. No one beat, raped, or murdered them for doing so.
Then a few years ago, the lady vanished due to an uproar over the depiction of a good cook being Black and wearing a scarf.
Since then, various companies have run ads featuring muzzie females wearing their scarves, supposedly because those scarves mean *empowerment* and *beauty.*
Devout muzzie women want everyone to believe that wearing the “rape her without-don’t rape me with” is somehow the more moral, the ascendent, their choice.
Stupid people are easily manipulated. Lies, propaganda, and the goal of making *all* women, and little girls, wear the scarf of islime.

Kathy Hochul Was a Trailblazer: Now Leftist Frenchwomen Are Donning Hijabs
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Devolution…

I saw an X post from Sana Ebrahimi Zedene, an Iranian-origin woman & ex-muslimah, who berated Kathy Hochul for blazing that trail. She pointed out that that was expressing solidarity w/ the regime that forced her to wear it when she lived in Iran, and would torture & abuse her for not wearing it properly
Those French women who wear the hijab deserve everything that Muslims try doing to them – and the latter will. They won’t care that they are in solidarity w/ them: they will simply see them as infidels
