They actually use razor blades. Rusted or not, doesn’t matter to them.

Buy, hey. Let’s celebrate the culture.

BFD.

There have been times and places in many cultures when covering one’s head was considered proper and going without a hat, cap or vail/wimple was just not done. I am old enough to recall an incident when my girlfriend and I toured the National Cathedral, and she was mortified that she had forgotten to wear a hat. At about the same time, among my older relatives in (then) rural Germany, it was unthinkable for a women of a certain age to leave the house with out covering her head, usually with a scarf. And there was a Scots folksong about a girl’s coming of age, when “it was time for ... putting up your hair,” under a shawl and bonnet.

Every cult manipulation technique
in the book on display in this article and the author doesn’t
See any of it. Sad and horrifying
at the same time.

It raises awareness, here in the US, that these people don’t want to be free. Men who require their wives and daughters to wear this garb are slave masters. Women who choose to wear it do not want to acclimate to this country.

What if my hijab has a big old cross on it?

It’s like being proud to wear chains and get a “property of...” tattoo on your forehead. Idiots.

“World Hijab day seeks to eliminate the judgment and discrimination associated with wearing a hijab and instill proper dhimmitude in non-believers whom we will continue to wage lifestyle jihad against until they convert. Or our soldiers (jihadis) will kill them all.”

[PIF]

National Sharia Law Day was a plan being worked on by the 0bama Muslim Brotherhood Administration. It will now carry forward underground, perhaps surfacing in some obscure comment by some anonymous poster on some forgotten forum somewhere, only to be picked up by some otherwise bored ‘reporter’ and published in the mainstream news as fact ...

These same leftists who love the hijab would be scornful of an Amish woman who was wearing traditional headwear. They would go on and on about how oppressive Christianity is.

Wait until she gets home and her husband gets to "discipline" her.

Or if she were to marry into islam she could be one of four wives allowed under Islamic teaching.

Imagine being the 50 yr old wife and your hubby brings in the 28 yr old. You get to do the house chores while the 28 yr old...well, you figure it out.

[Wilhelm Tell]

Imagine a Muslim woman in a hijab and a Catholic nun walking through a liberal school’s campus. You know at the very least that the nun would get a lot of hate stares.

Gaybos and pussies...

Interior decorators and women with "that" look.

>>They would go on and on about how oppressive Christianity is.

You've got it. In a New Times Media paper (Houston Press), they wrote a full page screed about movies to revisit now that Trump is president.

Among them was the Handmaid's Tale.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Handmaid’s_Tale
The Handmaid's Tale is set in the Republic of Gilead, a theocratic military dictatorship formed within the borders of what was formerly the United States of America.

Beginning with a staged attack that kills the President and most of Congress, an extreme Christian movement calling itself the “Sons of Jacob” launches a revolution and suspends the United States Constitution under the pretext of restoring order.

They are quickly able to take away all of women's rights, largely attributed to financial records being stored electronically and labeled by gender. The new regime, the Republic of Gilead, moves quickly to consolidate its power and reorganize society along a new militarized, hierarchical, compulsory regime of Old Testament-inspired social and religious fanaticism among its newly created social classes. In this society, human rights are severely limited and women's rights are unrecognized as almost all women are forbidden to read.

As long as Americans continue to stand up to the Islamofascists, these drama queens will at least still have a head to wear a hijab on. LOL!

[Mr. Jeeves]

The innate female tendency to value security over liberty can be and often is taken to extremes.

[Moltke]

They should invite the muzzies to participate in the Wear A Crucifix Day. Oh, that would probably lead to riots...

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Forget the hijab.

This is just the camel’s nose in the tent.

These women who volunteer to put these on are akin to people allowing slave traders to put shackles on their ankles.

You don’t just force things on an unwilling people- you slowly acclimate them so they are in so deep they can’t remember what it was like before they were enslaved.

I wonder how many of these volunteers would allow their labias and clitorises to be cut completely off?

[kelly4c]

Weren’t they banning the kids from wearing sombreros and hosting burrito fest or some sh!t like that because it might offend the Mexican students? Man, their thought process is all over the place isn’t it.

Hijab macht frei, eh?
