The #LetUsTalk campaign is not just about compulsory Hijab. It is about the repression that the Western citizen imposes and applies on us who grew up with Islam, Muslims, and especially political Islam, through his/her rainbow unicorn perception of multiculturalism./1
At the university, I was forced frequently by Western professors to keep my silence or change the subject of my paper because of Islamophobia, so as not to talk about its violent and discriminatory roots and laws./2
Even once, while arguing with a Syrian student who had also tasted political Islam, we were both forced to stop. As much as I could, I stood up and resisted this repression many times./3
A well educated Western citizen cannot tolerate being challenged about his/her rainbow unicorn perception by a Middle Eastern like me.He/she is either scared or delusional so wants to prove that knows my community and culture better than I do.
