Last week, Pope Francis & grand imam of al-Azhar signed a “historic pledge of fraternity”in the #UAE. In light of misogyny they oversee, the patriarchs in robes can kiss & hold hands & pledge love to the “fraternity”: they are dangerous to women & children theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…
- Vatican & al-Azhar prohibit ordination of women
- Priests rape & sexually abuse nuns & children
- Al-Azhar is furious #Tunisia wants to make inheritance equal btwn men & women
- Ruler of #Dubai has forcibly repatriated 2 of his daughters after escape & holds them vs their will Pope Francis & grand Imam of Azhar kissingPope Francis with an official of UAE
Why are the pledges these men sign presented to us as great achievements to celebrate? For whose benefit arevthose pledges? The rot of misogyny and abuse these men oversee must not be camouflaged by “pledges of fraternity.”

“When a (nun) becomes pregnant, the priest insists that she have an abortion,” the report added. ‘‘The sister is usually dismissed from her congregation while the priest is often only moved to another parish — or sent for studies.” google.com/amp/s/www.nyti… #NunToo
“Many members of the church, experts said, suffer from a medieval mind-set and consider the priests who commit abuse against nuns to be the victims of seductive temptresses. Since the victims in these cases are adults...there is also a reflexive tendency to blame them”
Abuse is result of “a rot in clerical culture that leads priests to believe they are a higher authority,and thus entitled to do what they want with/parishioners.In developing countries, where the abuse of nuns seems more prevalent, priests tend to be put on even higher pedestals”

“There is a lot of interest in fleeing #Saudi women at the moment but the situation for #Emirati and other women in the #Gulf is often just as bad.” As I often asked about Rahaf’s story: what are these countries doing to women that makes them seek asylum? theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…
“women remain second class citizens in the #UAE, where the concept of “male guardianship,” incorporated in UAE law,” @hrw hrw.org/news/2015/03/0…
#UAE abuses are too often overlooked because of the flashy facade and glitz of #Dubai and because it is not as big as or as influential as regional behemoth #Saudi Arabia. Look closer and pay attention.

I am glad to see @PatrickStrud’s article quoting 5 British feminist academics who quite rightly remind us that feminism must include rights of trans women. It reminds me of an argument that happened after 1 of my talks in #London when 2 white lesbians bombarded me w/ transphobia
I mention that the 2 transphobic lesbians were white because they followed me to dinner after my talk where a gay #Saudi man, a bisexual Saudi woman and I defended trans rights against those two. In no other country have transphobes followed me to dinner after my talk to argue.
I wanted to eat & to talk w/my friends and the transphobes wanted to lecture. I told them that as far as I was concerned trans women are women and the fight against patriarchy had to include trans rights.And then I said i had just spent 90mins on a lecture & Q&A & I wanted to eat

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

1- Hold Ur breath
This video has been sent 2 me by The Real News Rox Cella
It's time 2 expose
In 2014, when Pope Francis declared Pope Jean Paul II in2 Sainthood, he & his Cardinals called the Lucifer as God & Jesus' father. They prayed 2 Lucifer, sang Lucifer & worshiped Lucifer
2- They sang:
“His flame dawning his own son
May, I say to you O’ Lucifer who knows no setting
Christ is your son who came back from the dead
and shed his light on the human race
and is alive and reigns forever and ever.”
3- According to Pope Francis and the Catholic Church, The Morning Star is the creator of the world and the father of Christ. He brought “light” to the human race.
The fake Pope finally declared what he is worshiping but it was too soon for ppl's ears to hear & not just "listen"

You think these rare occurrences are a coincidence?

If the knee doesn't bend then this will likely be the result for more exposed pedophiles to come.
