Abdullah also assisted in the organization of the march against President Donald Trump’s so called “Muslim Ban”

Fake News alert, there is no ban on all muslims.

Why no outrage that Saudi Arabia bans Israelis?

All good muslims bow down to Saudi Arabia 5 times a day every day and they never bother to speak out against the discrimination and bigotry there. Loyal to the Islamic empire they are.

Hoping that Wednesday’s event would be educational, Akkad also stated that Muslim women are not forced to wear a hijab, and her personal goal for the event was to allow people to see that.

Then they should be celebrating Month Without A Hijab to prove it.

In light of recent political events, the most common concern was whether or not Muslim women felt safe wearing their hijabs in public.

Is the fez still banned in certain middle eastern nations?

They should have World Female Genital Mutilation Day to promote their beliefs in gender inequality.

Because walking around in a cadaver bag is so attractive and is comfortable in the summer....

Beside, what 19th amendment woman wouldn’t love to live in a 7th century world?

Dr. Seuss could weigh in on this...

Isn’t this cultural appropriation?

Shouldn’t liberal extremists be up in arms?

“Just because a woman chooses to cover her head does not make her any less equal.”

Except if she goes to sharia court and accuses a man of rape. Idiots.

How do they think all these women who accuse men of rape get stoned for adultery? It’s because in court their word doesn’t count what a man’s does, so if she reports him for rape, and he says it was consensual sex, his word counts, and she gets lashed.

Walking alone with the sun quickly setting, I frantically dug my keys out of my backpack and jammed them into my jacket pocket. Hurrying across campus, I gratefully felt the familiar curve of the grip on my pepper spray. I’ve never before felt the need to carry any sort of self defense item around, and while I wasn’t clutching the spray or jumping at the rustling of leaves, having it in my pocket was a significant comfort.

She's probably SAFER wearing the hihab on campus that without it.

If a jihadist starts driving over people or shooting them in a classroom, she may be spared for being a Mohammedian.

College students are ripe pickings for cultists. Away from home, looking to experience new things...

Put a hood on your head, lose the one on your clitoris.

Seems a fair exchange, what have you got to lose...except all of your self-respect, dignity, and sexuality?

But on this day, when you attended a Muslim event, not knowing that you would don, and later walk home wearing, a Hijab; on THIS day you felt the need to carry a form of self defense? Which, of course you did not "need" because no one threatened you in any manner. But poor snowflake "felt" anxious.

Why the "backlash" suspicions on a whole segment of society because of trumped up claims of Islamophobia? Isn't it wrong to be suspicious of all muslims anytime there is a jihadist terrorist attack in America? So why do libs think it is okay to be suspicious of all kufir just because there may have been a "hate crime" beating of one muslim somewhere (that didn't turn out to actually be an Islamic honor killing)?

Nope, if you can’t recite from the Q’u’r’a’n’ you’re toast

The terrorists enroll as students in universities to find stupid white women to marry for citizenship and to recruit stupid students to fight for ISIS. Been going on for years.

Stanley Obama wasn’t the first wife in Barack Obama’s harem.

And for the fashionable Moslem Dominatrix...

Earlier that same evening, UNM student Michelle Van Wart confessed she was interested in Islam, but had not converted yet because, “It’s really hard.”

“You know, because of the dangers.”

If you think that's bad, consider the dangers of converting and then unconverting.

You could lose your head for that.

It’s more than a little ironic that feminists and leftists are outraged by efforts to keep out a culture that treats women as slaves.

Oh, if ever a post was in need of a barf warning label, it was this one.
