Muslim women who enable sisters' oppression
Exclusive: Pamela Geller hails Topless Jihad Day in support of stoning-threatened girl

Story continues below advertisement

A group of courageous women have come out against the oppression of
women under Islamic law – and Muslim women are siding with their
oppressors.

Last week I reported
deep concern for a young Tunisian Muslima who had disappeared after she
posted topless photos of herself to protest the Shariah oppression and
subjugation she suffered as a Muslim girl. One controversial image
showed the young Muslimah, Amina Tyler, smoking a cigarette, baring her
breasts, with the message in Arabic written across her chest: “My body
belongs to me, and is not the source of anyone’s honour.”

A Muslim cleric in moderate Tunisia called for her stoning death. Tunisian newspaper Kapitalis quoted preacher Almi Adel, who heads the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, saying:
“The young lady should be punished according to Shariah, with 80 to 100
lashes, but [because of] the severity of the act she has committed, she
deserves be stoned to death.” And: “Her act could bring about an
epidemic. It could be contagious and give ideas to other women. It is
therefore necessary to isolate [the incident]. I wish her to be healed.”

There were rumors that her family had her locked up in an asylum. Amina now fears for her life.

Such is the life of millions of Muslim girls who want to be free in
Islamic society. Thankfully, Amina’s story went viral and gained
international attention. One of the more outrageous reactions was from
the Ukraine-based feminist group, Femen, which staged a Topless Jihad
Day to stand in solidarity with Amina. It’s not what I would do, but I
loved the moxie and in-your-face action to call worldwide attention to
misogyny under Muslim rule. These feminist activists held “International
Topless Jihad Day” in major European cities, including Berlin, Kiev and
Paris. They painted their bodies with slogans such as “bare breasts
against Islamism,” and they protested outside of mosques in various
cities.

“We’re free, we’re naked, it’s our right, it’s our body, it’s our
rules, and nobody can use religion, and some other holy things, to abuse
women, to oppress them,” Femen member Alexandra Shevchenko said during a
demonstration outside a Berlin mosque on a freezing day.

Finally, a well-publicized response to the crushing subjugation of
women under the Shariah. But what happened next was … unforgivable.
Reminiscent of the Muslim women who hold down their daughters for FGM
(clitoridectomy), a group of Muslim women came out against the Amina
Tyler supporters. “Muslim Women Against Femen” was formed to show that
Femen “does not speak for all members of their community.”

The members of Muslim Women Against Femen encouraged
other self-defeating supporters to participate in Muslimah Pride Day.
They are posting pictures of themselves on social media, declaring that
they are not oppressed. Well, bully for them. Are they really that selfish? Self-absorbed? Inhuman?

If they are not oppressed, then this campaign has nothing to do with them.

Pam, no one will ever convince me that these “Muslimah’s” against Femen are acting of their own volition. With all the stories I’ve read over the years about Islamic woman who are forced to accept the life they were born into? Nope sorry, I’m too smart to buy this obvious B.S.
Perhaps we won’t see any “gun to their heads” while they are out there denouncing their sisters, but whether it’s physically present or metaphorically present doesn’t matter to me. What matter to me is that they are being told what is expected of them and they do it, OR ELSE!
Muslim girls/woman are afraid of their fathers, uncles, brothers and men in their Muslim communities/Ummahs.
I’ve had the unfortunate occasion to know one such girl. She was diddled with by her father, she was so afraid of him, she spoke about such things as honor killing and about running away, but she was afraid for her sisters and her mother if she did.
Her name was AFZAN. She took a liking to my husband and thought he would be able to provide protection for her from her dad.
She disobeyed her parents and I never heard from her again. She was afraid to be brought out of the country. All of this happened many years ago, before 9/11, when I was completely unaware about the severity of what she was sharing with me.
The good Lord only knows what became of her.
These Msulimah’s are afraid, they are not speaking the truth, they know it, and are stuck….what a way to live life. With evil men lurking around controlling your every move, the only choice is to go along with it or suffer the harsch consequences, that’s my take. I bet I’m right.

Muslim women and Muslim men are now becoming increasingly furious at Atlas Shrugs website. One may ask “Why?”
In Islam, women must satisfy men’s needs and obey their husbands’ commands. Ms. Pamela Geller isn’t gonna do that.
In Islam, women must cover their modesty with veils from head to toe. Ms. Pamela Geller refuses to do so.
In Islam, Muslim women must prepare their young Muslim sons for jihad against non-believers of Allah as well as Allah’s prophet Muhammad and must prepare their young Muslim daughters to satisfy their future husbands’ desires.
As a result, Muslim men and Muslim women are becoming increasingly agitated by postings at Atlas Shrugs website.

The above article informs the readers about the “oppression of women under Islamic law..” Also that even some women the so mind programed by Islamic propaganda that they even side with the oppressors of females. This is not only sad but it’s also tragic.
This brings to mind that the Bible teaches in Proverbs “All the days of the oppressed are wretched…” and that in Ecclesiates 5:8 it reads “I saw the tears of the oppressed-and they have no comforter; pwoer was on the side of the oppressors…” Likewise in this same Bible it also explains in 4:2 “If you see …justice and rights denied do not be suprised at such things.” [NIV] Islam really is a cult that does much harm.
