This is the real women’s rights movement, while feminists in the West actively support the oppressors and name sharia-enforcers such as Linda Sarsour to their leadership. The left is evil.
Posted online with the hashtag #NoHijabDay, a response to last week’s World Hijab Day event, the videos show women removing their headscarves and setting them on fire in front of the camera. For the millions of women and girls forced to wear the cover-up, such a tribute is ghastly.

Women around the world burn their hijabs for #NoHijabDay
By Jihad Watch, February 7, 2018:
Seriously, these are the real heroes, the real feminists, standing up to violence and coercion. They’re also to be commended for rejecting the false victimhood pose that World Hijab Day proponents adopt with such eagerness. Hijab-wearing women are not persecuted in the United States, and this false claim must be confronted wherever possible.
“Women around the world burn their hijabs in protest against the headscarf as report shows half of Iranians think nobody should be made to wear them,” by Sara Malm, Mailonline, February 6, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Videos showing women burning the hijab are being posted on social media in solidarity with a protest movement against enforced headscarf in Iran.
Posted online with the hashtag #NoHijabDay, a response to last week’s World Hijab Day event, the videos show women removing their headscarves and setting them on fire in front of the camera.
It comes as the Iranian government released a report showing that half of the population do not believe that the state should dictate what women wear, despite dozens of arrests this month.
The office of President Hassan Rouhani revealed that a 2014 survey found that 49 per cent of Iranians believed women should be allowed to choose what to wear, DW.com reports.
A woman who spoke anonymously to Deutsche Welle said she believed the numbers would be even higher if the survey was carried out today.
While many Muslim women around the world wear the hijab by choice, in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Arab Emirates, it is enforced by the state.
Anoud Al Ali, who grew up in the United Arab Emirates but is now living in France, posted a video of herself burning the hijab and called it ‘true happiness’.
She details how she used to be forced to wear the headscarf by her family and in school or she would be punished with lower grades.
Captioning the video, which shows her standing outdoors, taking off a headscarf and setting it on fire in a cardboard box on the ground, she writes: ‘As promised, I did it on my birthday, it feels so liberating to burn the #hijab.
‘And I am doing that in solidarity to #Iranian women who are protesting against the mandatory hijab and for all the forced girls. #nohijabday we are not candies or diamonds to be covered. We’re humans. [sic]’
The Iranian protest movement against the state’s enforced hijab – a policy in place since the Islamic revolution of 1979 – has been intensifying in recent weeks.
Yesterday, the Iranian Judiciary claimed that all women who had been taking off their headscarves off in public in protest in Iran ‘had been on drugs’.
On Friday, Iranian media reported that Tehran police had arrested 29 women for appearing in public without a headscarf.
They are believed to have been copying the stance of Vida Movahed, a 31-year-old woman arrested in December for taking off her headscarf in protest.
A video showing her calmly waving her white hijab tied to a stick above the crowds in the Iranian capital, went viral on social media.
Ms Movahed, who became known as The Girl In Enghelab Street, was detained and spent a month in custody with her 20-month-daughter.
She has become the ‘poster child’ for the White Wednesdays movement, which encourages Iranian women and those who support their plight to take off their hijab, and was started by journalist and campaigner Masih Alinejad….

They started marketing them around eighteen months ago. They continue to be sold out, of total supply, within days. Every time they manufacture a run, it’s sold out before most orders are even received.

I am glad to see the Iranian government’s crackdown backfire. I hope women in other Muslim countries also rebel and that there is also a rebellion against the fake “feminism” that promotes misogyny.

Especially Turkey, a once modern country that straddles the West and the Middle East. Now it looks like it is heading back to the 11th century.

Turkey doesn’t straddle anything liar. They committed genocides on Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Christians. They’ve ALWAYS persecuted Christians and Jews in their muslum sh!ttystan.

The hijab should have been a relic of human history a very long time ago. The Muslims cannot hope to cling to the traditions of a long-obsolete past forever.

Seconded!
