1. Hijab is to distinguish free Muslim women from slave women. Slave women were prohibited from wearing the hijab.
2. The treatment of "minorities" as dhimmis under Islam was a form of untouchability. Later yellow badges were used to identify them, copied by Hitler for Jews.
Hijab is entirely about "ownership" of women and sexual control. That today's "feminists" have legitimized this shows how badly they have been compromised by parroting Islamist propaganda. Arab feminists of a generation ago, lke Naẓīra Zayn Al-dīn (1908–1976) did much better.
Control of women is central to Islam. As women's rights spread, Islamists in the Middle East were terrified of these spreading to Arab lands. Huge amounts of funds were channelled into Western academia to parrot the Islamist narrative. Islamophobia was marketed as a term. Ergo.
Hijab culture is about the commodification of women's sexuality. In Islam "a woman’s sexuality is a commodity subject to sale and purchase. The “theft” of that sexuality through rape, for example, is punished like other property crimes..."
Thus Hijab is not "cultural dress." It is a doctrine of women's modesty, which marks non-Hijabi women as "loose" and "immodest." This legitimized predatory behavior by Muslim men, as narrated by victims in #Rotterham. It marks a danger for all women.
The world watches with concern as the authoritarian govt of #JustinTrudeau clamps down on dissent and curtails civil liberties. Peaceful protest is the right of citizens in a democracy. We urge the Canadian authorities to exercise restraint. #Canada #CanadaHasFallen
The problem is not just the hypocrisy of the White West. It is of their collaborators in post-colonial societies who parrot and amplify the ideas of their supremacy.
#Modi held on for 10 times longer without resorting to emergency powers to quell dissent.
What it means to be a true #JihadCoolie. Lugging the weight of others' jihad.
Malcolm X:
"When the master would be sick, the house Negro identified himself so much with his master he'd say, "What's the matter boss, we sick?" His master's pain was his pain."
Never mind that the burqazisation of Indian Muslims is a recent phenomenon. Even these girls went to school without hijabs. The entire drama is a staged political drama. Naturally @sharmasupriya the Scroll etc, just follow script to amplify the drama.
Why are you questioning "progress"? This is the modern ideal. If a mother raises her child, it is regressive. If she pays someone else to do so while she "works" it's progressive.
3rd parties raising children adds to GDP. Motherhood doesn't. And it's all about that, no?
I'm not shaming working or non-working mothers. I'm questioning a system that holds one superior to the other and discounts the role of motherhood in society. "Child care" alone won't solve it. This is as much an artifact of nuclear families.
When India faced violent protests and blockades that shut highways and brought life to a standstill, Western govts sided with protestors, termed action to remove them as undemocratic.
But when it happens to them, they urge use of power to stop protest.
Her "faith" in dead White men blinds her to a nuanced understanding of her own culture.
Dvija is about being born in knowledge, from just a physical birth. Are they restricting the oath to certain "castes"? All can be dvija, not all can be White males.
"Hipprocates" is rooted in the Eurocentric reconstruction of their fabled past in Greece.
Does this "atheist" know that the Hippocratic oath starts with swearing on the Greek gods, and does the "feminist" know it prohibited abortion (and all surgery)?
Meanwhile, the same ecosystem attacks the diversity of native cultures while supporting the totalitarian erasure of diversity on the Abrahamic "God's" commands.
