Non-Muslim women in Christchurch wear hijabs in show of support for Muslims

Christchurch (New Zealand) (AFP) – Women in Christchurch wore makeshift hijabs as a statement of peace and solidarity on Friday, a week after a white supremacist killed 50 Muslims at two mosques in the southern New Zealand city.

Rafaela Stoakes, a 32-year-old mother of two, said wearing the Islamic head covering gave her an insight into what it means to stand out and feel part in the minority.

On Friday morning she covered all but a few locks of her dark chestnut-coloured hair in a loose red and white scarf, crossed neatly beneath her chin and tucked into a black hiking jacket.

She is one of many women in New Zealand who is embracing #HeadScarfforHarmony, to make a stand against the hate espoused by the Australian man accused of killing dozens of worshippers.

Headscarves are also being worn as a mark of respect by policewomen and non-Muslim volunteers directing the crowds around the site in Christchurch holding communal prayers on Friday.

It's actually kind of funny to see social justice warriors don hijabs and call it empowering while several Muslim governments out there imprison women who refuse to wear it.

It's amazing how far SJWs will bend over backwards for Muslims while refusing to do the same for any other religion. Christians get slaughtered and they don't bat an eye.

If there was a K-kay-k rally in Christchurch that someone shit up I bet these morons and their prime minister would be wearing a white hood today. No difference.

They hate Christians more than they fear muslims.

People have been openly attacking people for wearing MAGA hats.

But no one is allowed to question the hijab.

I don’t care whether someone wears a hijab, either. I just wish they practiced the same live-and-let-live for everyone else.

I guarantee you there will be a major terrorist attack in NZ by the end of the year.

The Stockholm Syndrome on display for all to see....

This is surrender and obeisance, an excessive display of great deference to the sensibilities of others, while becoming so self-effacing, as to truly become one of the Dhimmi.

Without even being asked to.

They are going to despise you anyway.

New Zealand is a beautiful country, but it is inhabited by convicts and retards. The women are running the show. There are no men in New Zealand.

It is rather a symbol of suppression.

They are too blinded by their political correctness to see.

Eventually, we might see them wearing burkas in similar support of their own supression.

Do you think they will object if I wear a small crucifix on my lapel?

Wow- natives bowing to muslims by saying, “See?- we look just like you, and what’s more, We’ve disarmed ourselves to show our support- “

Muslims saying under their breath “Thanks idiots”

[[This is surrender and obeisance,]]

And here in our country- occasio and ilk are demanding that we do the same- surrender our guns and prostrate ourselves on the ground in front of muslims

More than likely, I would say yes. 😁

I would love to see snapshots of their faces when they realize what they had done and what the final consequences were.

I’m thinking of doing a few things with hijabs.

None of which I can write here.

.......”Women in Christchurch wore makeshift hijabs as a statement of peace and solidarity on Friday”........

Wearing Hijabs is only a statement of oppression and cruelty with submission to a political death cult masquerading as a religion.

If I was in NZ and met one of these idiots on the street, I’d say...

“... cultural appropriate much.....” in a quiet voice then shake my head to shame them.
