Ministry suspends licences of 11 teachers at Bedford school in Quebec, Canada:

"We have a group of teachers who tried to introduce Islamic religious concepts into a Quebec public school," the premier said.

Science and sex education courses were either not being taught or barely taught at Bedford elementary school and on several occasions young girls were told they were not allowed to play soccer because it was a sport "reserved for the boys," according to a government report.

This is the unfortunate and inevitable consequence of capitulation to religious zealots. Every time you silence criticism by using the Islamist coined term ‘Islamophobia’ you are facilitating this. You are facilitating the erosion of your own values by appeasing those who wish to destroy them.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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…

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. 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

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.

I’m not one to debate ppl on their beliefs. Believe what you want. Not my business. You’ll only hear from me if your beliefs cause ppl harm. But I inadvertently ended up in my first ‘debate’ w a Muslim. Luckily it was @HatemNYC, so no death threats ensued!
Hatem learned about me through you, @fallinlovia so I have you to thank for this new opportunity ☺️

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Biden is Paving the way for a Dangerous Ideology

By @DaliaAlAqidi

arabnews.com/node/1990276 “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.

It’s sad ppl are so accustomed to binary thinking these days. I miss when ppl simply had other opinions and perspectives. When ppl were free to open their mind without immediate demonization of the ‘other side’. This world is so black and white. No nuance. No color. No flavor.

Fwiw, I was both indoctrinated and beaten while attending public school, while being homeschooled, and while in an Islamic private school. The school is irrelevant. Shitty parents exist-and that is a different discussion.

I’ve been in Education for 20 yrs. I’ve taught every level from kindergarten to post-grad. Homeschool your kids if you can. Your district most likely offers a distance education option-enroll your child. Then enroll them in a team sport. You’ll thank me later xx It has come to my attn, because of some comments, ppl are unclear that homeschooling does not mean you have to be a scholar in all subjects. The distance education program offered through your ministry will have trained teachers teaching your child all subjects. You facilitate -

When I started this account 5 yrs ago, I chose a cover photo of a Yazidi woman freed from ISIS, removing the black body bag she was encased in to reveal her colorful dress below. It’s so poignant.

I had a student from Afghanistan a few yrs ago. When he’d come to my office, despite the noisy hallway, we’d have to leave the door open. He explained that since being kidnapped by the Taliban and being tortured in a room for two weeks, he can’t be in a room w a closed door. He lived w roommates, but he could never close his bedroom door because the panic would immediately overtake him. It had been years since his family had paid the ransom and negotiated his release- the physical scars had healed, but the invisible scars were much deeper.

It should come as no surprise that I receive messages w death threats consistently. I just ignore them.

Now I get messages with personal information about my daughters.

You’re mad at me for making Islam ‘look bad’, when it’s your actions that make your religion look like filth. You make a Islam look like a religion for barbaric, murderous monsters who resort to threatening children because you’re incapable of accepting that someone speaks up against the atrocities done in the name of your Allah every single day. You are the worst enemy of Islam- not me.
