Students at Brigham Young University don hijabs in solidarity with Muslims
Jihad Watch ^ | DECEMBER 18, 2016 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 12/18/2016 11:33:35 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

These BYU students have ably signaled their virtue, and can now sit back and enjoy the rounds of applause they will receive from the enlightened and intelligent, but where is their concern of for Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it?

Or Aqsa and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab?

Or the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab;

or Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain;

or Amira Osman Hamid, who faced whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab;

or the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized for her family for refusing to wear the hijab;

or the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told that they had to wear the hijab or be fired;

or the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab;

or the women also in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab;

or the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; or the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab;

or the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; or the women in Iran who protested against the regime by daring to take off their legally-required hijab;

or the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab;

or the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents, or all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab?

Who is standing in solidarity with them? Those who taunt or brutalize hijab-wearing women are louts and creeps, and should be prosecuted if they commit any acts of violence. At the same time, the women who don’t wear hijab in Muslim countries are far more likely to be victims of violence than hijabis in the West. Who speaks for them?

Note to protesters and virtue signalers.

No one’s gonna take you seriously until you douse yourself in gasoline and light yourself on fire.

Not saying, just saying, know what I’m saying?

It’s easy to show solidarity with Muslim women when you live in a society where you do not HAVE TO wear this type of covering. A society where you have freedom, just like the males in the country. Useful (or is that useless) idiots.

No, the hijab says, “I am better than you half naked sharmutas! Show respect!!”

Anyway, Joseph Smith greatly admired Mohammed and his `Alcoran’.

Tis’ the season, so, MERRY SMITHMAS!!

Wearing the hijabs is not much of a way to show solidarity. To show their togetherness BYU students should take on the Muslin lifestyle and all that means for a period of time. Then they can relate.

Why is BYU supporting a phony religion concocted by a madman who wrote a phony “holy book” to use as a tool for dominating his followers and having multiple underage wives?
