'Modest,' Yet 'Vibrant': New York Times Gushes Over 'The Fashion of Islam' Exhibit
NewsBusters ^ | December 29, 2016 | Melissa Mullins

Posted on 12/29/2016 9:24:19 AM PST by Zakeet

The same liberal media that tout women's rights, gender equality, equal pay, the freedom for a woman to express herself by choosing how to dress, is the same media now pushing the narrative that "modest" Islamic fashion is the hottest style to hit the catwalks.

Yes. For the moment, The New York Times has thrown their feminist beliefs out the window, opting to promote a fashion that is often viewed as oppressive to women because it forces them to cover their entire body and face for fear of receiving unwanted glances from anyone other than their husbands.

"There are probably people who don't even think there is fashion in Islam ... But if you look at Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Beirut, the fashion is really vibrant, and it can speak to larger political and social developments, cultural understanding and misunderstandings."

Yeah, gals wearing that will get a lot of dates.

And since when do the leftist sluts care about modesty.

Buy them a Bic Mac and you’re a shoo in for action.

Amazing. This is the old Wendy’s Soviet Fashion show ad come to life. The most ridiculous parody of yesterday becomes the reality of today.

NYTs would have shown the ovens in prison camps saying they were all the rage.

All things islam goes against everything American.

Like communism, socialism, fascism, and every other totalitarian system, Americans WILL reject it. The leftists here in the US may be willing to embrace it, as much as they may try, but the majority WILL reject it.

Count on the NY Times (a wholly owned subsidiary of the democrats) to support the Islamists and their brutalization/degradation of women.

How liberals think: I hate Whites and Christians. muzzlims are dark skinned and hate Christians too. Therefore anything muzzlims do is automatically good, including slicing necks, raping, and throwing gays off tall buildings. To prove how much I love them, I love their fashions too.

To: I want the USA back

That’s pretty much it

Progressives even Jewish ones who have to realize Muslims would roast their children given a chance will still embrace anything which is a threat to Christians and the White Race and nationalism

It’s nuts how progressives think

They think they will rise from the ashes as the new politburo

It’s like if Captain Picards crew hated him so they embrace the Borg to finish Picard even knowing the Borg will destroy them too

They believe their own propaganda, that the only cause of strife on earth is from white Jews and Christians.

They are stupid beyond measure and they are manipulated and lead by leaders who are evil beyond measure.

The drab burka and other muslim garb are not “vibrant”.

But they are especially effective in covering up the bruises, welts, bandages and scars from ritual beatings by rage filled muslim husbands and other muslim male relatives.

Fashion for those who need to cover up stonings and beatings and a few acid burns.
