i was actually scared to post this, so if you have anything hateful to say, please do not interact with this post. thank you!

let's talk about mahsa amini.

so i'm sure you've all heard the name recently: she's been in the news a lot, because she was an iranian woman who died.

let's ask google how she died, shall we?

hm.

i'm going to have to disagree with you there, state authorities of iran.

mahsa amini was 22 years old. on the 13th of september, she travelled to tehran to visit her family with her brother, kiaresh amini. she was at the entrance of the hiqqani highway when she was arrested.

but why was she arrested? was she speeding on hiqqani highway or something?

oh no, of course not! it was because she was wearing her hijab "inappropriately".

she was told she'd be taken to a detention centre for a "briefing class" and released shortly afterwards, except she never made it. instead she was at kasra hospital - where she died on friday, febuary 16th.

she was in a coma for three days.

in an instagram post which has now been deleted, the hospital admitted she was brain dead on arrival.

"Resuscitation was performed on the patient, the heartbeat returned and the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit," they originally wrote, reports The Guardian. "Unfortunately, after 48 hours on Friday, the patient suffered a cardiac arrest again, due to brain death. Despite the efforts of the medical team, they failed to revive her and the patient died." - Harper's Bazaar

the "guidance patrol" who was supposed to be taking her to a detention centre, beat her.

the iranian police commander, hossein rahimi, claims that amini's death was simply an "unfortunate accident."

here's what amini's dad had to say.

“They said Mahsa had heart disease and epilepsy but as the father who raised her for 22 years, I say loudly that Mahsa did not have any illness. She was in perfect health. The person who hit my daughter should be put on trial in a public court, not a fake trial that results in reprimands and expulsions."

and all of this, such a brutal death covered up with attempted lies because of what?

a hijab.

iran has made the hijab mandatory since 1976.

and clearly, women who don't follow end up like amini.

i am a hijabi teenager, living far, far away of iran, and i think that's disgustingly wrong.

i wear a hijab for my lord. it was my decision.

wearing a hijab is for Allah. it's not for men. it's not for police.

and you, as a man, have no right to tell a woman how to wear her hijab.

you think Allah is pleased with you? for forcing these women to wear hijab? for killing them if you don't?

personally, i highly doubt it.

to any man who has forced a woman to wear a hijab, punishing her for not wearing it correctly, you are disgusting. you terrify me and disgust me and you are the reason people see islam as a terrorist religion.

and to think that in france, women are fighting to wear the hijab.

for god's sake, just let women wear what they want.

please.

Feminism is becoming worse.

Feminism was once a great thing but now it has been taken over by some misogynists who call themselves ‘The world changers’ ‘the saviors’ and whatnot. 

What does feminism mean? Feminism literally means the equality between men and women. The equality between the rights of both men and women.  Both should get Equal pay for equal work. The equality of women in the work field and the field where there are men. Feminism is abolishing domestic violence and punishing the abuser who abuses women, it came for women who were oppressed to have a status in society. It came for women to have equal status as men.

But. Feminism is losing its meaning.

Feminism did not come for favoring one gender and ignoring the other. It did not come for targeting religions and disrespecting someone’s culture in the name of ‘freedom’. 

I know women and young girls get raped by men, many are abused and many are oppressed, and honor killings take place. I believe that the guilty should not be spared and justice should be served. The guilty should get punished by the law and the law is doing its work! 

But what triggers me is that the feminists, modern feminists to be more specific, fight for this cause which is acceptable and good but they blame the entire community if one person in that community does something disgusting, illegal, or unacceptable, those feminists blame the entire community for it! 

For instance.

Take the case which happened in Iran. Mahsa Amini was murdered brutally just because she wasn’t her hijab properly and that was absolutely disgusting and so unacceptable, feminists are fighting for it, that’s good but because of that they banned hijab? that is not acceptable.

People should know that Islam doesn’t force women to wear a hijab or cover themselves, Islam doesn’t allow anyone to do that! Feminists don’t research about it and say anything about Islam which hurts many people’s sentiments and then they go on protesting about the Hijab ban, Muslims are oppressors and whatnot. If a woman wears a Hijab of her choice those feminists say that ‘women have bad choices, hijab is just a psychological torture device’, literally I talked with a Rad Fem who was forced to wear a hijab by their parents and I talked to their about this topic and they said all this. Islam also does not allow parents to hit their children and neither it allows anyone to force a person to read the Quran or learn it by heart, the people who do this are doing wrong and are not real Muslims, people who are spreading terrorism are not Muslims, they are not following the real Islam, Islam is a religion of peace. Do you know the rules of war in Islam? Let me tell you-- Women and children should not be harmed or touched, old people should be protected, and trees and animals should not get damaged. This is the Islam no one talks about.

They don’t research anything at all and just jump on the topic, it’s like judging a book from the cover.

They say Islam thinks of women as prostitutes, sex slaves, and an object which can be used and thrown but do you know that The Almighty has placed paradise beneath a mother’s feet? why would women, and mothers have paradise beneath their feet if they were sex slaves or prostitutes? Now some will say that rape is allowed in Islam? women are allowed to kill their rapists in Islam and that will not count as murder. Some will say that angels curse women who refuse their husbands, here’s the thing--- A man should not force his wife to do anything if he does, he is a sinner. Now say, Islam is misogynist and modern feminism isn’t.

That rad fem also said that women are looked upon as sluts by Islam, yes sluts do have paradise beneath their feet. (Get the sarcasm). Before Islam came, baby girls were buried alive because they had vaginas, when Islam came, it started to spread, and people realized the worth of their baby girls, they are blessing from the almighty, when a woman marries, she completes half of that man’s and herself’s faith when she becomes a mother, she has paradise placed beneath her feet.

Modern feminists say that you should wear clothes in which you feel comfortable but chant ‘Ban Hijab’ when a woman wears a hijab and goes on the street because she is comfortable wearing it. They say that they are insecure about their body that’s why they cover themselves, No. Some women don’t like to show their bodies, they are not insecure or ashamed wearing them, they wear them because it’s their right and choice! you are no one to interfere. Not only are they targeting Islam but also they are targeting Christianity! Women have to stay virgins before marriage and they say it’s because they are shamed, they are oppressed no. Some women like their first time being with their husbands, it’s their choice and it’s not wrong.

Now some will say, Hijab limits you, but let me tell you this, at 27 years of age, Fatima Payman is a senator in the Australian parliament, and guess what she covers herself, did that limit her? If a woman goes to work wearing a hijab or covering herself, I don’t think that that will have an impact on her salary or her promotion. the people who have a problem with that woman are racists.

Now you tell me, isn’t feminism going in the wrong way? Women are taking advantage of their rights, you tell me a right that men have that women don’t in 2023. Feminists say ‘Women will save the world’ like this, but I don’t think so. Feminists also say ‘Men are dogs’ so your dad, your bf, and your brother are one as well. They say this world would be much better without men, ‘Darling you wouldn’t be there

Also, if a man assaults a woman it is wrong (Which really is) if a woman does that it’s not wrong?. girl, if you hit your partner, not in self-defense, you are an abuser, not an empowered woman.

Many things prove Feminism is going in the wrong way which I can’t write about in one post.

I’m speaking the truth and truth is bitter Fems!

Muslim women students experienced the hijab ban as a denial of their autonomy and agency. As the PUCL team listened to the Muslim girls’ stories close up and large, what became clear was that for them, the hijab is a visible carrier of their self-identity and a way of remaking their own world by freely negotiating with their culture’s normative values and practices. However, they have also had to struggle with their teachers’ negative assumption that they are unaware of being oppressed by their own faith and by a community that does not value education for women. Journalists and political leaders repeatedly asked, “Are they coming to college for studying or for their religion? Let them go to their madrasas if they want to prioritise the hijab.” In insisting simultaneously on their right to education as well as the right to wear the hijab, they are confronting the dominant discourse on the hijab that has obstructed their educational possibilities that have in recent years opened up in Karnataka. In doing so, they are invoking an alternative discourse of gender justice. In this respect, their struggle is at one with the rallying cry ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadi’ (Women, Life, Freedom) of Iranian women who are protesting the custodial killing of Mahsa Amini, a young woman, by the notorious Iranian ‘morality police’ for wearing her hijab ‘too loosely.’ The slogan ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadi’ originates in the Kurdish resistance movement in Turkey and reflects similar struggles of women for complete autonomy and liberation. As Apoorvanand and Alishan Jafri argued, ‘Though the contexts of the protests in Iran and India are different, women in both countries are making the same statement. They are telling the state that they want to live their lives as free, thinking individuals – not as dull identical clones. In both cases, it is a battle between individuals and the state for ownership of the self.’

European Christians will put on a fake concern about how they're worried that hijabi women are being forced what to wear and then turn around and make laws that force muslim women what to wear

Make it make sense

It doesn't, it's just plain islamophobia

The story of a milk seller who became immortal in history …

After the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, French forces invaded various parts of southern Turkey. At that time all the women of that region used to wear burqa. One day, on the way, a French general saw some women walking, he said -Your state has fallen, and now you are under Western rule, so take off your hijab.

When the women refused the order, the general laid his hands on them to remove the hijab.

Nearby, a Turkish Muslim named Imam Sutju was selling milk. This incident hurt her Muslim identity and stirred up the Islamic society's respect for women. He immediately pulled a gun from the general's sheath and killed him in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after this incident, the French expulsion movement from the region gained momentum. The intoxication of liberation burns like wildfire in the public sphere. As a result, in 1923, the town of Kaharman was liberated from French occupation. The story of this heroic anecdote is still taught in the madrasas of those regions.

Say you're a feminist all you want, but if you're supporting women removing the hijab but not when they want to wear it then you're not a feminist.

You're just islamaphobic and want to shove your own agenda down everyone's throat. Please , you're not an ally , you're not " empowering women".

You're only empowering yourself and making sure the way you are is the norm so you don't ever have to face the situation of having to accept and respect someone different. Because its a heck of a lot easier accepting someone who's like you instead of putting in effort to accept someone who's different.

Also btw if you're a man who only supports women taking off their clothes but not putting on then you're not a feminist lol, you're a pervert.

Because you think a women is only worthy of respect when she fits into your fantasy. A real respectable man knows that a women is worthy of respect no matter what's on her body. She doesn't need wear anything specific for you to support her.

P.s before all you islamaphobes , racists , " women saviours " , "ex Muslims " come here with your bs views, stop. Because you're commenting here , then you've commented somewhere else before too and someone has definitely responded, i have many times before.Clearly it's not that you don't understand, it's just that you don't want to step down from that high ego of yours. So don't bother interacting.

I'm on the fence when it comes to this Hijab ban in France.

I do believe women should be able to wear whatever they want. My issue is, that if I go to the middle east, I can't do that. I can't wear whatever I want in Saudi Arabia, Qatar or the UAE. These countries have set laws and they demand everyone to follow them, whether you are a citizen or foreigner/ Muslim or non Muslim.

So why doesn't France have the ability to do that?

I asked this question on another social media platform. People were too busy calling me Islam phobic and I never actually got an answer. Some of y'all are too busy calling each other names, then having a real discussion on things.

[CW one count of vulgar language] "Conformity with expectations is monetized--it's rewarded--so when you send the message to women and to girls that wealth can be rapidly expedited for them if they take off their clothes on stage or on camera, rather than develop their minds, rather than develop their skills, their character, and so on... When you tell women and girls they're going to have to go to university for years, you're going to have to be in the workforce for years, before society will moneterily reward you anywhere close to what it will reward you right now, today, if you would just objectify yourself and get naked in front of strangers. The message is crystal clear. We want you to be what we think you are. A sexual object. And if you go along with that, you will be generously rewarded. We don't think you have dignity. We don't think you have honour. We don't think you're decent! We think you're agents of the Devil and instruments of sin. You caused the fall of man. That's deeply embedded in the cultural thinking of the west. And clothes, being covered, covering your nakedness, is only for the dignified! That's why they strip you in interrogations. To break you down, to humiliate you, to demean you, to create an imbalance of power between you and the interrogators. I know what I'm talking about, 'cause they did it to me! They do it to make you vulnerable and that's what the western society does to women. Forget about s----shaming, they practice modesty-shaming, dignity-shaming, because who are you to think that every man in the public sphere isn't supposed to see your body? What makes you so special? What makes you think you have the right to deny any man's eyes access to your body? Your bodies are supposed to be public! Your bodies are supposed to be decorations! That's the culture. And they don't want dignified women in the public sphere. They don't want virtuous women in the public sphere. They don't want modesty. So now France has banned women from wearing 'abayahs in schools. Women can't wear clothes in schools that deny male teachers and fellow students access to enjoy their figures, enjoy their bodies, and of course, this is just a crooked way of banning Muslim women from education. Just like the public ban on the niqab. France wants Muslim women to stay in their homes and they don't want them to go to school. You say that's what we force on women, but because we don't actually enforce that on women, you're trying to enforce that on women, now you're trying to enforce it yourselves. France is enforcing it themselves. You don't want Muslim women in public. You don't want Muslim women to get an education. It's not us, it's you. You're the one who's trying to prevent them. They don't want you to go to school unless you abandon modesty, unless you're compromising your values. In other words, they're not allowed to be in public, not allowed to go to school, unless they go along with your objectification and misogyny."

---End of transcript.--

I literally never once thought about it like that (that it's a method of keeping Muslim women uneducated and out of the public sphere--I realize it should've been obvious, but it wasn't to me, because I didn't consider the future ramifications of that, only the present moment) and the way he tied it to how strippers make as much money as lawyers and the intentional degredation and inferiority being stripped down and objectified can cause and how that would send a message to girls and women that they'll be instantly rewarded for objectifying themselves compared to the years it would take to get a degree, so why bother?

Man... that's horrifying, what kind of future are they setting those girls up for, especially the ones who have no choice but to work (poor women have always worked, a whole family relying on a single breadwinner husband/father is a feature of more privileged families, and vanishingly rare)...

honestly every time islamophobic people interract with my pro-hijab and pro-muslimah posts, I have to always make this choice between instantly blocking them or engaging with them and it SUCKS but in the end I just delete them the post and they get the block cus I swear I’m not lowering myself to explain to someone random on the internet why a woman should have the right to cover her head with a piece of cloth if she wants to

and it is so anti-feminist, ignorant, misogynistic, condescending, and imperialist to look a woman in the face, one who says that she just wants to wear her hijab in public, and then literally tell her that she is oppressed for her individual choice and that she has no autonomy because she wants to follow her religion the way she interprets it… guess what? you’re JUST as bad the islamic fundamentalists and extremists who are coercing and forcing women to wear it, and you’re the exact opposite of that beacon of freedom that you deludely think you are

A Muslim girl was prevented to join school for wearing kimono, a ridiculous act of French school authorities.

In a recent incident in Lyon, France, a 15-year-old Muslim student faced exclusion from her class due to wearing an open kimono on September 5. This incident occurred just days after France implemented a contentious ban on abayas. The student was publicly reprimanded and instructed to remove her kimono to attend class. She refused, asserting that her attire was not an abaya and did not symbolize…

Pre-Matric scholarships have also been delayed. Scholarships for informal workers’ children have ceased as have the Maulana Azad National Fellowships which were fellowships for Muslim students. The government itself admitted in the Assembly that 1,010 Muslim girls had dropped out of high school and college as a result of the tensions created around the hijab issue. Universities with a proven track record of good education, such as the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) has been expected to generate its own revenue and the institution is currently in a dire state. Similarly, Kannada University is on the verge of closure due to lack of funds.

You made a very good point about the hijab ban, I’ve never thought about it that way even though I am myself « inherently political » (cultural integration is a bitch).

It made me reflect a lot, so thank you for articulating things so well!

Thanks! Just the unfortunate perspective of someone who has had to witness 10 years of this 'debate' already ;)
