Thank you for this thread

I believe there are empathetic ppl who care about other human beings regardless of their ethnicity-like @CHSommers

And, thank goodness, less ppl like @rgay who fails to grasp that ‘representatives of that culture’ who speak up are imprisoned and killed
@CHSommers @rgay Imagine this selfish attitude w South Africa: Well, isn’t there racism everywhere? Who are we to intervene by boycotting them because of apartheid? Let’s wait until Black ppl there find a way to solve it themselves

What a revolting and narcissistic way to approach the situation
@CHSommers @rgay Women in Saudi Arabia and Iran ARE living under apartheid and they ARE fighting back and are imprisoned and tortured for it.

What more of a clear sign do you privileged Western feminists need before you start to give a fuck about women other than yourselves?

We do. We keep saying it, but no one wants to listen. The question starts w a false premise: no one is suddenly inspired to join ISIS. This indoctrination starts from birth. The idea that Islam will rule the world. A Caliphate will rise and when it does, we must join the fight

We’re told that all non-believers are the enemy and they must be killed. This is a common theme in mosques and madrasas across the world. Joining ISIS is the punctuation at the end of a very long sentence. It’s a long, slow process and we’e only looking at the conclusion

The father of one of the #BethnalGreen girls stood shoulder to shoulder w Anjem Chaudhry and Lee Rigsby’s killer at extremist rallies...where he took his 13 yr old daughter. Rallies where they screamed about violence to the West and burned flags. This is what she was taught.

A lot of ppl have asked me about my personal feelings towards #Israel, so here goes: I grew up in a fundamentalist Islamic home where I was taught to hate Jews to an irrational degree. The hate was divinely ordained.
It was my duty as a Muslim and as the daughter of a Palestinian to hate them, though I never had any personal reason to. Every Jewish person I met was lovely to me (I wore hijab at the time) and some would refer to me as their cousin.
But I was taught that they were lying and pretending and that secretly they were poisoning us all etc. When I became an atheist, the hate for all Jewish ppl was no longer divinely ordained, but I was still sure Israel deserved my hate.

Trump’s WORLDWIDE Effect on the Global Reproductive Rights of Women

Trump and his conservative Christian-centric administration are using positions of authority to impose religious policies on long-established reproductive rights that put women around the world at risk.
Background

Ronald Reagan signed the Mexico City Policy in 1984. This sweeping mandate against reproductive freedom around the globe denied,

“US federal funds to any organisation involved in providing abortion services overseas or counselling women about them.”
Though revoked by every Democrat and reinstated by every Republican
since, Trump has taken up the cause with renewed vigor.

Every time the global gag has been reimposed by a Republican president, rates of back street and self-administered abortions have increased.

The first person from Twitter has found me.
Reminder of what I look like today:

My breakfast. Granola bar, bag of grapes, apple, hard boiled egg, and a broken shell on a table.

The gloves are off. For years, Masih Alinejad portrayed her work as a fight for women’s rights in Iran.

And here she is embracing a man who said he has no compulsions about starving Iranians into submission.

Any ally of these warmongerers is an enemy of the Iranian people.
Heres a quick refresher about Alinejad:

She’s gained international media attention as an “Iranian women’s rights activist” for a Facebook page urging Iranian women to share pictures of themselves without the mandatory hijab.
Western obsession with the hijab as a symbol of Islam has made her campaign appealing for those with anti-Islam agendas in the West. The same men who have no problem banning abortion or blocking women’s rights on other issues, suddenly become feminists when it comes to hijab!

After the heinous week that we've just experienced, to have something as detestable as the #SynogogueShooting in #Pittsburgh happen surpasses overload for all of us. It's crucial that we not forget @ this, however. nytimes.com/2018/10/27/tec…
