In our talk,@Ayaan spoke about how ISIS caused so many Muslims to denounce Islam. Knowing sex slaves were taken by the prophet and his companions centuries ago is very different from witnessing it today. It’s easier to accept theoretically, but very difficult to accept in reality
It’s similar to the response I had after 9/11. Of course I knew about jihad and killing infidels and spreading Islam and all the things the Imam yells every Friday khutbah. But it wasn’t real until I watched ppl jumping to their deaths.
Having two daughters, it’s too much for my brain to even begin to comprehend. This child and thousands like her were sold and raped. This is acceptable in Islam. Allah sanctions it in the Quran. The prophet and his companions practiced it. There’s no denying the evil inhumanity.
Here’s an Imam explaining to his daughter what sex slaves are and why consent is irrelevant

On March 11, 1978, Dalal Mughrabi, a 19-year-old Palestinian woman, led a group of 13 terrorists from Lebanon by boat and landed on an Israeli beach between the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa. Realizing that they had missed their target destination of Tel Aviv, the group casually ate lunch on the beach, then ran into nature photographer Gail Rubin, a New Yorker and the niece of a U.S. senator. They asked her for directions to Tel Aviv and then Mughrabi shot Rubin point blank.
They flagged down a taxi, killed its occupants and began driving to Tel Aviv. En route, they hijacked a bus full of civilians and proceeded to shoot Kalashnikovs and toss grenades at passing vehicles. They killed one of the bus passengers, tossed the body from the vehicle and carried on.
They commandeered a second bus, piling the surviving passengers from the first vehicle onto the second one, amassing 70 hostages. After blasting through successive barricades, the bus was finally stopped by a roadblock just outside the northern edge of Tel Aviv. The terrorists launched a firefight with sub-machine guns, grenades and explosives against ill-prepared and lightly armed officers. When the battle ended, 37 Israelis and one American, among them 13 children, were dead. Another 71 were wounded.

My piece in @CNN

While many Gazans support Hamas, a poll conducted in July showed 50% of Gazans agreed that “Hamas should stop calling for Israel’s destruction, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.”

cnn.com/2023/10/16/opi…
Hamas stands next to al Qaeda and ISIS in perpetuating deadly terror attacks against civilians. I am heartbroken, of course, that Gazans will now have to pay the price for Hamas’ depravity. It is brutal and horrific. War always is. It was also brutal and horrific when al Qaeda was responsible for the loss of so many Iraqi lives or when ISIS was responsible for the loss of so many Syrian lives.
At the hands of Hamas, the Jewish people have endured horrors not seen since the Holocaust. And, like the Nazis, Hamas does not view Jewish people as human beings. According to its 1988 covenant, every Jew must be eradicated from this earth. Its goal is not the genocide of Jewish people in Israel; its goal is the genocide of all Jewish people on this planet, period.

A few days ago I posted about a Somali girl who was horrifically beaten by her brother because she posted a video on tik tok without hijab. Many comments said she should have been killed. Here is a young nine yr old from Iraq who was killed by her father over a tik tok video. Image
What cultural elements do Somalia and Iraq have in common?

Language? No
Food? No
Clothing? No
Traditions? No

The ONLY thing they have in common is the religion of Islam. A religion that fosters and encourages vicious misogyny that leads to honor violence and honor killings.
Men in Islamic societies are encouraged to be toxic. Boys are told it’s their responsibility to control their sisters in order to maintain the family honor. Fathers are shamed if their daughters have any kid of freedom or independence. Toxic masculinity is fostered, encouraged… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Two Saudi sisters found in their Australia apartment one month after their death. The girls were terrified of someone/something. Their family couldn’t even be bothered to go to Australia to investigate what happened to Asra and Amaal. That tells me all I need to know. This… https://t.co/0juZKBYLmbtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
My husband and I watched a documentary about Noor Almaleki- an Iraqi woman living in the US who was killed by her father when she refused a forced marriage and ran away. I said to him-I wouldn’t have even gotten a documentary. No one would have known. Most girls killed in honor… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“I’ll bury you in the backyard and tell anyone who asks that you moved to Egypt. Easy.”

I had no idea how common that threat was. How often girls were being told that- just substitute Egypt for Somalia, Iraq, etc.

Police have commented on how many bodies must be buried in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The first person to suffer from #Islamotrauma was Aisha. Aisha was just six years old when she was married off to a 53 yr old man. Read below as she exclaims:

“I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women.”

She was right then and she is still right today. Image
Muslim women are the only women who are forced to endure being beaten by their husbands because Allah sanctioned it in the Quran.

Muslim women are the only women forced to endure being raped by their husbands because it is sanctioned in Hadith.

#Islamotrauma
Other women can appeal to their families, the authorities, where can Muslim women go? Who can they appeal to that will override Islamic scriptures? Who will protect her from the edicts of a 1400 year old religion? Who will protect her from the almighty Allah?

A friend was telling me about her mother, on her deathbed,finally accepting a cigarette from her sister: Had I known my life would have ended like this, I would have said yes a lot sooner. And I’d have said no too. No to marrying him. No to being his slave. No to wasting my life.
As she was telling me she was crying and I was crying. Both of us were in miserable marriages before we had the irrational and dangerous bravery to leave. We know how she was feeling. We know how close we were to feeling the same way on our deathbeds.
Thankfully we both got out and we are both married to wonderful men today who adore us unconditionally. We walked through raging fires to get here. But we can’t rest. We are haunted by those who never made it. She’ll be joining me soon on #ForgottenFeminists 🤍
