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?

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?

I see what you did there..... ;)

>>>Yes, please treat me like property. That is what the hijab says.

“I think no more of taking another wife than I do of buying a cow, and if you want to build up the kingdom you must take more wives.” - Mormon Apostle Heber C. Kimball

here is one that shows LDS view of polygamy and disdain for the US Government.

“Take care of your polygamous wives; we don’t care for Uncle Sam now.” - Prophet Joseph F. Smith, 1896 dedication speech for the Payson, Utah meeting house.

I have known active mainstream Mormon men (and a few women) who support Muslims and Sharia law because it will allow the return of “the Principle” (Polygamy) which is needed for Christ to Return to Missouri and the LDS church to take over the US Government (I am not kidding I can give you sources for these doctrines).

According to their scriptures there is no limit. Many had over 30 wives.

Stupid is as stupid does. Wonder if their eagerness to please the murderers will wane if they see students shot, beheaded, raped, etc.? Useful idiots on the hoof.

If these ignorant students only knew, true Islam in practice: Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 41, Number 5251)

Time to restore the voting age to twenty-one.

Are you kidding? Forty sounds about right to me.

Whatever age, but I think we can all agree 18 is too damned young for 95% of them.

When these stupid bitches get beheaded someday, sympathy is not something they will receive from me.

It is written,

1 Corinthians 11:5:7

5And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved. 6If a woman does not cover her head, let her hair be cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. 7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.…

Not sure these girls were in a state of prayer or prophecy when they took the pic, but Paul was clear that when a woman was to pray, she was to have her head covered..

It seems each of those girls have their heads covered..
Governmentally according to Paul, they won’t dishonor their ‘head’ (their father if unmarried or their husband, if married) when they pray or prophesy.

amazing to see people do things out of ignorance but stumble into something prophetic.
