Earlier today, members of Ukrainian feminist group Femen staged protests across Europe as they called for a "topless jihad." The demonstrations were in support of a young Tunisian activist named Amina Tyler. Last month, Tyler posted naked images of herself online, with the words "I own my body; it's not the source of anyone's honor" written on her bare chest. The head of Tunisia's "Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice," reportedly called for Tyler to be stoned to death for her putatively obscene actions, lest they lead to an epidemic. Tyler has since gone quiet, leading some to fear for her safety. Below are images from Femen's protests today in Sweden, Italy, Ukraine, Belgium, and France. A warning, nearly every photo depicts nudity, and most contain offensive language. [31 photos]

They are TRUE feminists.
I noticed that none of them are fat or have hairy pits
They can’t be American Feminists. :-)
If you are protesting to an international audience, you do it in English, which is the most likely second language that any European is going to learn.
BTW, LOTS of good video on youtube. Just search for femen jihad, restrict results to this week.
I dig the crescent moon tits with the nip serving as the star.
Something for your ping list: a feminist organization FINALLY going after Islamists over their treatment of women.
Yesterday was “International Topless Jihad Day.”
Naked protests were held across Europe.

Then they were attacked

They need a group of big, burly, bouncer types to keep the riff-raff and a-hole gendarmes off them.
I volunteer...
I try not to judge people by their appearance or by what they wear BUT...... when I see a woman with her face covered or wearing the typical head scarf, I know my face shows my disgust.
As long as they don't try to bite me, nothing much. But the toilet paper manufacturers resent all the going about in the woods that doesn't always include the use of their products.
Mr. Whipple loves cats, 'cause he gets to sell 'em plenty paper.
I don’t support either side in this fight.
I get that. But what do you have against their breasts? Why focus on bear breasts? Why not fox breasts or deer breasts? Are you a speciesest?
Don't squeeze the Charmin
Yes they are profoundly pro-abortion.
But I do find it heartening that they are one of the (very few) groups willing to take on the Muzzies and Sharia in the public place.
Wow! Best post of the day and no body got it.
anyone who thinks their bodies are public property is a slut. I find nothing admirable about what they did, even if the why was proper.
Not only pro-abortion. In Ukraine they sawed commemoration cross. They are anti-church in the first place . IMO, FEMEN, just like less fortunate Russian ‘Pussy Riot’ is a commercial enterprise, aimed to gain popularity and to start profiting out of it. They have no problem buzzing businesses like that, thus it makes little to none air time outside Ukraine and Russia yet. Paid protestors are a good business in that part of the world. Nothing can help a corrupt politician to extort a huge bribe for a project protested by a bunch of ‘green activists’ just to seize protests. It is as instrumental if ‘human right activists’ rioting in the interest of some jailed Russian mafia types to push for lenient sentence or early release.
Church and mosque stunts brings no profit but it brings needed popularity to get hired for real work.
Interesting, thanks
Femen activists try to burn a Salafist flag to protest against Islamists in front of the Great Mosque of Paris, on April 3, 2013. (Fred Dufour/AFP/Getty Images)If they want to make an impact, instead of just making the papers, they should instead burn the mosque, after nailing all the doors shut.
