This article weighs in on Omar Khadr, a convicted terrorist and murderer who was just apologized to and awarded $10.5 million by the fucking Canadian government:
Recently, I found a tumblr thread where SJWs were reblogging a post that contained pictures of women in niqabs that was saying how just because a Muslim woman was wearing a niqab does not mean that she was oppressed. Funny enough, the person who originally posted this was confirmed to be an ISIS supporter and a follower of Wahhabism/Salafist Islam.
There were quite a few radical feminists that I followed that called out the SJWs/regressive leftists for reblogging the post in agreement with the ISIS supporter OP.
Holy shit, this is new to me. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Fortunately, it looks like basically all of the recent reblogs are by people saying how disgusting it is to support niqabs.
The hijab is a murky territory I won't get into (long story short, I don't like it and the mentality behind it but it's way better than niqab/burqa), but niqabs and burqas are are completely indefensible. And no, I do not believe that it's a "choice" to wear them, in the usual sense of the world. Muslim apologists and Islamophiles act like the choice to wear a niqab is like the choice between wearing pink or purple earrings. It isn't. A woman wearing a niqab usually means 1.) she is forced to wear it, either by direct or indirect pressure, or 2.) she has been exposed to and brainwashed by Wahhabism/Salafism and believes that she'll burn in hell if an unrelated man is allowed to see her arms.
The niqab (and to an even greater extent, the burqa) is a garment that literally dehumanizes and objectifies the wearer. It prevents the wearer from engaging in non-verbal communication, which is a fucking huge part of human interaction; in fact, most studies indicate that facial expressions and body language are more important to communication than actual words are. By covering a woman's face, limbs, and other body parts, you're reducing her to an object that should be ignored.
In fact, the ideology behind the niqab (and in some circles, the hijab) is that women are possessions whose beauty can only be enjoyed by their husbands. In defending the niqab/hijab, apologists often liken veiled women to a candy in a wrapper, a pearl in a shell, a covered fruit, or some other object. An object that must be protected so its owner can enjoy it. The fact of the matter is that a ton of Muslim men (not all, of course) are rabidly possessive of "their" women (wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, etc). They can't stand the thought of other men encroaching on their territory, even if it's just looking at the unveiled women. There are thousands- if not millions- of accounts by Muslim and ex-Muslim women that attest to this.
But sure, take the word of a literal terrorist sympathizer over those of oppressed women.
If they were teleported to Europe in 1500 AD, these people would talk about how truly, Christians need witch-burning and the buying of indulgences as part of their religious heritage and culture, and anyone opposing these practices just didn't really understand them.
The Catholic Church was corrupt as fuck at the time with the high level Bishops and Cardinals running things like the mafia. The Borgia family controlled how the Papacy was run for many years in the 15th and 16th centuries with two of the Borgia achieving the rank of Pope. It was Martin Luther and his Ninety-five Theses and King Henry the VII and his separation from the Church and the formation of the Church of England that started a series of bloody wars as the Catholic Church battled to stop its waning influence on Europe leading to the War of the Three Kingdoms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Three_Kingdoms) and the Thirty Years Wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years'_War)
The Catholic Church is a plague that continues its bullshit to this day with such things as harbouring Nazis and helping them escape to South America and trying to induce a Malthusian situation in Africa by trying to removing Contraception and Abortions for the third world. Because what the world needs is aids babies dying painfully in mudhuts and huge families that cant feed themselves due to Africa being a massive shithole and only surviving on the food provided by various aid programs.

wtf i love the catholic church now
I like seeing more women openly challenging this islamophilia trend. Seeing how things actually are, it's kinda nice (and a form of rebellion, in a way).

Basically, it's a video where a privileged, Western Muslim woman defends Sharia law, claiming that it grants women equal rights. The first few reblogs are basically gushing over how Sharia law really isn't bad, and how #woke the woman in the video is. Thankfully, some people eventually started reblogging "what the fuck is wrong with you people??"
You know, as annoying as radfems (radical feminists) usually are, I've noticed that they're by far the most willing people to call out Islamist bullshit on Tumblr. If you dig into the reblogs, you'll find that many of the bloggers that call out the glorification of Islam publicly identify as radfems. I may disagree with them on a lot, but at least they're actually standing up for feminist values.
Oh, and if you're curious about how Sharia Law treats women, here's a fantastic list that explains ten of the worst laws on women. I also listed some of the worst rulings below.
A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
Muslim women are prohibited from marrying non-Muslim men, although Muslim men can marry Christian and Jewish women.
The testimonies of 4 male witnesses are required to prove the rape of a female. If she cannot find 4 male witnesses attesting to her rape, she can be found guilty of adultery and punished.
A woman can only have 1 husband, while men can have up to 4 wives.
Men are allowed to beat their wives for insubordination.
A man can unilaterally divorce his wife. A wife needs her husband's consent to divorce. In countries run by Islamic law, it is notoriously difficult for women to secure a divorce (even if the husband is blatantly abusive or ran off somewhere).
Female rulers are frowned upon. Muhammad himself said “Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler.”
A husband has absolute authority over his wife. He is entitled to her body whenever he wants, and she is required to obey him.
Muslim warriors are allowed to capture the women of “infidels” and use them for their sexual gratification. Female slaves are referred to as ما ملكت ايمانكم (ma malikat aymānikum), or "those whom your right hand possess," and her owner is allowed to rape her whenever he wants.

I never see them take a swing at Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Buddhism, any other ism you can think of. And you'd think with their more progressive stance on the world at large they would be against stuff like Sharia law, which would be going backwards against all the social progress we've made.
