Femen Stages a 'Topless Jihad'
The Atlantic ^ | April 4, 2013 | Alan Taylor

Posted on 04/04/2013 11:52:14 PM PDT by AZLiberty

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]

This is a movement I can get behind.

Anti-Islamists showing their breasts -- what's not to like? But that duct tape has to hurt.

I first read that as Fremen...

And then I remembered that my cat in that sock controls the spice.

In case it wasn’t obvious, I forgot to mention: definitely NSFW.

Wow! I’m actually kind of glad that the women of NOW didn’t do a similar protest, though I’m not surprised.

Wow, Finally..... Finally the social protesters are picking on the correct target instead of whining about how supposedly backwards Christianity is (which it is not, i mean Jesus stopped the stoning of an adulterer for crying out loud ), I guess they finally woke up to the fact that Islam is very much an anti-women anti human freedom death cult.

P.S. A lot of things for Laz to hit in this article.

FEMEN targets Christianity as well. Don’t get fooled. It is one nasty group.

You can tell that they're not American lib activists as their pits are shaved. Still skanky.

Woman in picture number 11 needs to take off the tape if she is truly down for the struggle.

That Tunisian gal is gorgeous - vicious Islamonazis lock her up because she has a picture of her breasts?
Ridiculous.

Yep, everybody is still looking for American support, they all hate us, but want us to be their sugar daddy and enforcer.

Oh yeah, and shut up, too.
