For many women, myself included, education was the way out. It was ticket to freedom.

And so, The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan has announced the closure of universities for women.

#ExMuslimAwarenessMonth

“How can I react? I believe that I could study and change my future or bring the light to my life but they destroyed it. They destroyed the only bridge that could connect me with my future," one female university student told the BBC
I said it before and I will say it again and again and again: Where Islam presides, women suffer.

Iranians never wanted an Islamic Republic. I need ppl to know this. It was a left wing revolution that allied w Islamists. Once they won, the Islamists killed the socialist/communist leaders, hijacked the revolution, and called it Islamic. Iranians have been fighting since day 1.
I keep hearing things like-they wanted this. They‘ve been quiet for 43 yrs. No and no. They were not quiet, you just weren’t listening. What you’re seeing today is the last straw-after seeing their friends, families and heroes tortured and killed for so long. #IranRevolution2022
From the first day that mandatory hijab was announced, women have been fighting. They protested in the streets as they are today. Women were imprisoned, as they are today. Women were killed, as they are today. None of this is new. It’s just new to you.

There’s a lot to admire about #Iranian people, but the greatest by far (in my opinion) is how they managed to maintain their Persian culture, language, food, holidays etc despite being invaded by Muslims. The rest of us just started calling ourselves Arab and forgot who we were.
It was a moment of shock really when I found out Egyptians weren’t Arab. Same w Moroccans, Tunisians, Algerians etc. We were colonized by Arabs and lost our Amazigh, Berber, etc cultures. Even some Pakistanis and Somalis think they’re Arab. Really sad.
A lot of Muslims are mad at the truth-so I will add some more. I did my 23 and Me and saw that I have a significant amount of Spanish in my DNA. Most likely it was a poor woman who was raped by Muslim invaders. Most ppl who are Muslim today have family who were raped by Muslims.

When I tell you it’s a cult. When I tell you it’s like the mafia. This is what I mean. A mother threatens to kill her daughter over a piece of cloth, and I am the shameful one for mentioning it. They want us to keep silent and hide the tyranny even as our throats are being split.
I spoke to a woman in Jordan whose father threw her out a window and her family convinced her to tell the doctors she fell so that her father wouldn’t be in trouble.

And she did.
This is how we are taught to deny our agency. This is how we are taught that we are subordinate things. This is how we are seen and this is how we, in turn, see ourselves. We minimize and diminish ourselves to uphold the family honor and hide the dirty laundry at all costs.

If domestic abuse is one of your religious practices, you need a new religion.
86% percent of wives are beaten in Egypt. Guess how many women’s shelters there are? In a country of over 102 million?

Zero. Zero shelters for women.
“All Abrahamic religions are sexist” is the all lives matter of atheists

Yes. We’re aware.

However we’re currently talking about one religion. One that has domestic violence codified into their edicts. Can we focus on a topic where you’re not centered for just a minute?

Thanks

It’s funny how I escaped from the terrorist I was forced to marry, with only my baby daughter and a high school education, then my mother threatened to kill me, escaped her too, and survived to tell the tale-

Yet ppl think lobbing the word ‘Islamophobia’ will stop me

#LetUsTalk
Every single time I read about a man who beheaded his wife, a father who beheaded his daughter, a brother who killed his sister, chopped her up and buried her in the backyard-I see my face in hers. I know I could have been her. I know I survived for a reason. I will never stop.
@Saharathefree1 grew up in a refugee camp, barely knew her parents, endured FGM, escaped in the middle of the night, worked in whatever jobs she could get her hands on, came to the US illiterate, and now she’s an educator.

You think calling her names will stop her?

Biden is Paving the way for a Dangerous Ideology

By @DaliaAlAqidi

“The bill that was proudly supported by the Democratic party failed to define Islamophobia.”

This is the crux of the issue. This should concern you.

Oxford dictionary defines Islamophobia as:dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force.

This is what happens in countries that criminalize criticism of a religion.

Note: they wanted the death penalty-as per Sharia- but because he confessed settled for 15 years…..over posts made on Twitter from an anonymous account.
