Meanwhile, Western feminists don hijabs in solidarity with supposedly oppressed Muslim women in the West. The real oppression is of women who don’t wear hijab, but no one cares about them.
“Afghan religious clerk warns to punish women who disregard Islamic Hijab,” Khaama Press, January 15, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Mujeeb Rahman Ansari, a popular Islamic extremist and a religious clerk in the western Herat province installed dozens of billboards and signboards around the city, targeting Afghan women, urging them to wear Islamic Hijab.
During several public speeches, Ansari called on his followers to apply Sharia rules on anyone who disregards the rules determined by him and his followers and ‘not to wait for the government’ in such instances.
Abdul Qayoum Rahimi, the governor of Herat was earlier questioned by a local media outlet about Ansari’s movement in Herat province, wherein Rahimi said he is not going to confront Mawlavi Mujeeb Rahman Ansari as they are being good friends.
The recent statements of Mawlavi Mujeeb Rahman Ansari have sparked mixed reactions among Afghan residents in social media, some condemn the messages spread by Malwavi Ansari, while on the other hand, another group and individuals endorse him.
“Any man who thinks he has ownership of women is a coward. A real man is the one who considers his wife to be his counterpart, not a commodity!”, Waheed Omar, a government official tweeted in response to a billboard message by Malawvi Ansari where it says ‘A man is a coward whose woman disregard Hijab’….
But the provincial Directorate of Hajj and Religious Affairs said the campaign by Ansari has not been conducted in collaboration with the government, and that Ansari’s teachings go against Islam.
“Speeches by Mr. Mujeeb Rahman Ansari are in contravention of the religious teachings. Islam has always insisted on preaching,” an official of the directorate, Fazl Mohammad Hussaini said.
Mujeeb Rahman Ansari has studied ‘Islamic religion studies’ in Saudi Arabia and is currently running a local radio station beside being an Imam for Gozargah Mosque in Herat city.

Waheed Omar is indeed a very brave man to send out a tweet like that.
LR says
Yes, he is. Sure wish they had about fifteen more million of him in Afghanistan.

BUT WOMEN WHO WEAR THE ISLAMIC SCARF ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ‘MOST LIBERATED’.
Why do women need to be FORCED or THREATENED to wear a maks to make them more ‘LIBERATED’ ???

………………..
This is a direct reference to the “Honor” concept in Islam–that if a man doesn’t threaten his wife then he is a “coward”. Muslim values are very different from those of civilized people.
mortimer says
Agree. The Islamic veil is all about the alpha male’s dominance and prestige. If he is not domineering, he is considered weak and other Muslims pity him and try to take advantage of him.
One scholar has observed that the veil’s true purpose is MONEY … to keep the money in the family. The veil is required so nubile girls can be hidden from potential suitors, and saved for their male first cousin. The issue is the male first cousin’s right of first refusal. This strategy allows a grandfather to bequeath his estate only to his descendants.
The veil declares that the girl is the personal property of the alpha male patriarch in a Muslim family. The Islamic veil is NOT a symbol of piety as it is erroneously assumed by many people.

Spot on, Mortimer.

I can’t believe that there’s still some among us who can’t see what a benefit to western civilization these neanderthal’s are.
GreekEmpress says
I can’t believe I met a woman (around 50 years of age) the other day who had never heard of sharia. Had no clue what it was—-Reinforces the need to get the word out of the dangers.
GreekEmpress says
Should be “get the word out about the dangers”.

There is a *lot* of willful ignorance about Islam. I ran into some idiot who said that no one had to worry about Shari’ah law, because it hadn’t been practiced anywhere for hundreds of years, and was just a fear drummed up by the “far right”.
I told him about the Islamic State and the Taliban and Brunei and many other parts of the Muslim world, and that Islam mandates the imposition of Islamic law, and he just looked confused. And note–this was someone most would consider well educated.

Its fine by me if he has his way with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who go about all the time barefaced unescorted and loudmouthed.
LR says
Omar, and Tlaib don’t bother to speak up about these oppressions do they.
Vile Reps these women are. Sickening to know that people voted these Jew hating, Shariah kiss assers in.

Well, its a good thing allah is the most merciful. Otherwise they would treat women worse than camels in muslim countries. allah will block the stones from smashing the poor womens heads, as he has done for 1400 years.

“If they do that{i.e wear the hijab} it will be known that they are free and that
they are not servants or whores”
Tafsir Ibn Kathir 33:59
Notice how muslim men don’t ever have to worry about covering up: I have no time for any woman who converts to this misogynistic Arab cult.
Good video that explains how the hijab is a man made thing…
You Tube
Apostate Prophet the origin of the hijab -allah takes orders from a man
roberta says
