Egyptian feminist Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, 23, challenges the strict nature of Islam on her blog and Facebook pages. She went a step further in her protest against the Islamic State (IS) with a photo of Elmahdy and a veiled woman pooping and menstruating on the black IS flag.
Arab nations did not print the photo because the flag states there is no God but Allah. Elmahdy did not explain why she took the photo, but she protests Islamic laws, and IS implements strict Sharia Law. Women must wear full veils and not leave the house without a male relative. The jihadists have even forced shopkeepers to fully veil all mannequins. In Raqqa, Syria, an Islamic State stronghold, a crowd stoned two women to death for allegedly committing adultery.
The majority of Muslims do not agree with IS. Several prominent Muslim leaders and scholars have condemned the terrorist group. However, not everyone agreed with Elmahdys photo, including fellow liberal Muslims.
In 2011, she caused outrage among strict and liberal Muslims when she posed nude in photos on her Facebook. She claimed the photos scream against a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy. The secular Muslims did not agree.
This hurts the entire secular current in front of those calling themselves the people of virtue, said secularist Sayyed el-Qimni. "It's is a double disaster. Because I am liberal and I believe in the right of personal freedom, I can't interfere."

She’s done more than Obie has to ISIS....
She certainly has the courage to promote her beliefs.
Not surprised.
Let them fight it out among themselves.
Now that’s my kind of feminist.
Prove it.
Wouldn’t you know it, after I’m married and all settled down the perfect woman comes along...
A bit gross but she has just done what all the Feminazis in our country refuse to do” Insult Islam”. She is a dead woman walking but she has more ball then Obama and the rest of the World MALE leaders. Kinda Not Guilty if you can get beyond the Poop and period. LOL
0bama offered to be Islamic State’s Air Force against Assad exactly one year ago.
Sharia Law dictates that women must be covered head to toe, and have a male escort when out, to protect them from being treated as sex slaves or as sexual objects.
If they don’t comply , they are gang raped and then killed.
Oh logic, wherefore art thou?
Hope she is well armed and fortified in a country of rabid muslims Wahhabists.
Perhaps I’m missing the whole point here, but this just flabbergasts me.
What pray tell is ISIS/ISIL doing that mainstream Islam hasn’t condoned for hundreds of years?
x beheadings (check)
x stoning raped women (check)
x beating women who don’t cover their face (check)
x forced circumcisions (check)
x forced clitorectomies (check)
x mass murder of infidels (check)
x murdering members of the press (check)
x setting women back 150 years socially (check)
x forbidding girls to attend school (check)
x treating women like cattle, owned by the husband (check)
x selling women into marriages at single digit ages (check)
x overturning the will of the people (check)
Tell me, has ISIS/ISIL done anything that Islam hasn’t condoned?
Ah, no.
The rank and file Islamic adherent is an amazing study in irrational thinking. What pray tell is the basis for denigrating the ISIS/ISIL flag?
Did someone have relations with a goat that I am unaware of?
Oh, never-mind, that too is probably sanctioned by the Koran.
Give this woman an NEA grant!
May the Lord send His angels to protect this brave woman.
The people of Egypt have a much better grasp of what is at stake than most Americans will ever have until it is way too late to fight back.
There are so many people in the West that think of Islam in the context of various Christian denominations or traditions of worship.
In Islam, due to the founder’s words being considered final, absolute and never subject to change, there is no moderation allowed, only failure to fully practice the teachings.
In the West, we see various denominations returning to what they sincerely believe is true practice doctrine, and if we disagree, we label them Fundamentalists, and in some peoples’ view marginalize them. In Islam the only deviation is moderation and moderation is failure and condemned once found.
There are “cultural Muslims” - similar to those “Christians” who celebrate Christmas and Easter but don’t really believe a word of it.
Ex-Muslims say the quickest way to get somebody out of Islam is to have them actually ready the Quran.
Laz would hit it, right their on that flag!
These women are disgusting, perverted pigs
I share her scorn for the violent, world-domination ideology cleverly disguised as a religion.
