It never ends. We are bombarded with propaganda everywhere, all the time, in every conceivable way. The enemedia all over the West is fanatically determined to make sure that no one thinks anything but warm, positive thoughts about Islam, and never, ever associates jihad with terrorism or Sharia with oppression. “Halal Gurls” is just more of this same dreary and tiresome nonsense. When will the enemedia ever realistically discuss the ideology that motivates jihad violence? Probably the answer to that is Never.
“Australia: World’s first hijabi comedy series, ‘Halal Gurls,’ to premiere,” by Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch, September 26, 2019:
I could write them ten scripts right now. Plucky, attractive hijabi struggles — humorously and good-naturedly — to make her way in a world filled with clueless “Islamophobes,” well-meaning dunces who are ignorant of Islam, and a loving but comically conservative Muslim family that wants her to get married and live a traditional Muslim life, without the faintest whiff of a threat if she doesn’t, of course. Her hijab is constantly a pretext for her to be the recipient of rude and/or stupid remarks, to which she responds with sharp wisecracks that put the haters and/or idiots in their place. Throw in a wise, kindly, avuncular imam to whom she resorts now and then for sage advice, offered with warmth and a smile.
Story continues below advertisementThat’s all great, but what about the real Muslim women who have experienced violence and even been killed for deciding not to wear the hijab? Will they get a show?
“ABC iView to premiere world’s first hijabi comedy series, Halal Gurls,” Mumbrella, September 24, 2019 (thanks to Henry):
Halal Gurls, the world’s first hijabi comedy series according to its creators, will premiere on ABC Iview on October 4.
The announcement:
HALAL GURLS, a new online series filmed in Western Sydney, is being proclaimed as the World’s First Hijabi Comedy Series.
Created and Directed by Award-winning Australian filmmaker Vonne Patiag, the series celebrates Muslim women and the cultural diversity in Western Sydney. The show follows workaholic hijabi Mouna, played by Aanisa Vylet, as she navigates a cross-cultural balancing act between her structured career-driven life and the chaotic mess of her personal life.
“How often do we get to see a show about Muslim women where their religion, sexuality, and form of expression are not brought into question?” asks Vylet, who is also one of the five writers of the series. “The intelligence, inclusivity, lightness, and the very apparent respect towards the culture and community is what drew me towards the team and the webseries that is HALAL GURLS.”
For producers Patiag and Petra Lovrencic, it was crucial that HALAL GURLS was created via inclusive practice. “We wanted to show Muslim women in their best and most authentic light, and we couldn’t have done that without engaging with and listening to the community,” says Lovrencic. “We’ve collaborated with the community every step of the way, from writing through to the amazing soundtrack we produced. It all comes out of Western Sydney talent.”
“It’s definitely time for a groundbreaking series like this to exist,” says Patiag, who grew up in Blacktown and still resides in Western Sydney. “Some of my closest friends are Muslim, and I’ve grown up and worked with Hijabis in the past – they have always been some of the most funniest and fiercest women out there, full of resilience and sass, but unfortunately society likes to paint them a different way. HALAL GURLS is an opportunity to reclaim the representation of modern Muslim women in a humanised and nuanced light, and to spark discussion about diversity on-screen and behind the camera.
Sara Mansour, co-founder of the Bankstown Poetry Slam and one of the writers of HALAL GURLS, praises the series for its authenticity. “I love that the show is exactly about my lived experience as a veiled Muslim woman living in Sydney”, says Mansour. “The show draws on shared values and experiences and examines them through the lens of Muslim women in Australia – a group that have been subjected to a lot of scrutiny….

Nervously guessing this will be a flop.
Remember the All-American Muslim in the U.S.?
All-American Muslim is an American reality television series that aired on TLC. The program followed the daily lives of five Lebanese-American Shia Muslim[1] families in Dearborn, Michigan, the largest Muslim community in the United States.[2] All-American Muslim premiered on November 13, 2011.
TLC canceled All-American Muslim after one season, citing low ratings.[3]
…
On December 9, 2011, born-again Christian David Caton, the “founder and sole employee” of the Florida Family Association,[12] sent e-mails to various companies, claiming that the show is favorable propaganda for Muslims and urging them to withdraw their sponsorship from the show. The home-improvement chain Lowe’s did so. FFA posted an email (which Lowe’s described as a “form letter”[13]) in which the chain noted FFA’s communication and informed the group that it would pull its advertising. A chain spokesperson said it was because of “concerns, complaints or issues from multiple sides of the viewer spectrum” and did not mention the FFA specifically. Lowe’s later posted to its Twitter feed: “We did not pull our ads based solely on the complaints or emails of any one group. It is never our intent to alienate anyone. Lowe’s values diversity of thought in everyone, including our employees and prospective customers.”[14]
…
Representative Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, criticized Lowe’s decision “to uphold the beliefs of a fringe hate group and not the creed of the 1st Amendment.”[16] Representative John Conyers of Michigan called on Lowe’s to apologize. Michigan state representative Rashida Tlaib contacted the company’s corporate headquarters, reporting that Lowe’s declined to change its decision.[17] California state senator Ted Lieu also issued a boycott call, labeling the Lowe’s action “bigoted, shameful, and un-American”. He further stated he would explore “legislative remedies” if Lowe’s did not rescind its decision.[18]
Muslim-American and Arab-American activists joined in the criticism. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee called upon members to contact Lowe’s to urge it to reverse its position.[17] The Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations met to consider possible actions, including boycotts and protests.[16] The Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, based in Dearborn, and the National Network for Arab-American Communities announced that they would no longer accept donations from Lowe’s.[19]
In response, Lowe’s stated, “As you know, the TLC program ‘All-American Muslim’ has become a lightning rod for people to voice complaints from a variety of perspectives – political, social and otherwise. Following this development, dozens of companies removed their advertising from the program beginning in late November. Lowe’s made the decision to discontinue our advertising on Dec. 5. As we shared yesterday, we have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, and we’re proud of that longstanding commitment. If we have made anyone question that commitment, we apologize.”[18]
FFA stated that 65 companies removed their advertising from the series, including Kayak.com. Kayak’s chief marketing officer, Robert Birge, released a statement that TLC was “not upfront” about the nature of the series and that the decision to pull the company’s advertising was based in part on the quality of the series, which he said “sucked”.[20] Three companies, Campbell Soup Company, Sears Holdings Corporation and Bank of America, disputed FFA’s assertion.[21] TLC said advertising support remained strong.[21]
A member of the Internet civil disobedience group Anonymous hacked the FFA’s website in response to the controversy, exposing personal information about FFA newsletter subscribers and donors and condemning the group for “hatred, bigotry and fear mongering towards gays, lesbians and most recently Muslim Americans”.[20]
Lowe’s received a petition on December 20, 2011, calling on Lowe’s to reconsider, containing 200,000 signatures. Lowe’s met with representatives of the petitioners for over an hour but declined their request.[13]

Will they also take into consideration the INBREEDING problem?
According to Nicolai Sennels, a Danish psychologist who has done extensive research into Muslim inbreeding, close to half of all Muslims in the world are inbred:
70% of Pakistanis are inbred.
67% of Saudi Arabians are inbred.
64% of those living in Jordan and Kuwait are inbred.
63% of Sudanese are inbred.
60% of Iraqis are inbred.
54% of Muslims in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are inbred.
25-30% of those in Turkey are inbred.
In England, at least 55% of Pakistani immigrants are married to their first cousins.
In Denmark the number of inbred Pakistani immigrants is around 40%.
Syria is in the Middle East and about half of the people there are inbred and with birth defects among inbred people are have lower levels of IQ and higher levels of aggression,
Other symptoms of this type of inbreeding are fanaticism. Yeah, I can see that. And, irrational rage….Mental health issues are dramatically more likely to occur in people who are inbred, especially when we are talking about 1,400 years of Islamic first-cousin marriage inbreeding and horrendous birth defects and severe learning disabilities. That’s a long time. Some people have suggested that to be an Islamist you must be mentally ill. Perhaps there is something to that idea.

Wow, Felix…that’s quite a list…and very scary. I read in Michael Youssef’s book ” JESUS, JIHAD, AND PEACE” that 85% of the worldwide Muslims are illiterate…..and that the Qu’ran is required to be read in Arabic…which means that this illiterate following has to depend on the Iman to tell them what the book says…..and that Imam can tell them anything he wants to tell them.

Well, here’s a few rude but pertinent questions for the “Gurls” which will never be asked on this bogus tv show:
At what age were you cut? How deep did it go? Does it interfere with your bodily functions and will you be able to enjoy sex?
Have you had “virginity restoration” surgery or are you just hoping that Daddy or the husband he arranges for you never finds out?
Why is covering your hair “modest”? Why are Muslim males the only ones driven mad with lust by the sight of a woman’s hair?
If you have a daughter some day, at what age will you cover her up? At 9 to honor Ayesha or earlier to honor Ayesha when Mohammad was only “thighing” her?
Are you allowed to leave the house without permission of a male relative? If so, then why the hell are you wearing hijab?
Are you allowed to date non-Muslims? What would Mommy and Daddy do to you if you brought home a Jewish boyfriend? More to the point, what would they do to him?
How many times have you threatened to sue an employer for “Islamophobia” for requiring you to adhere to the No Hijab dress code?
So do you send money back to the Old Country to help support jihadis or just their families after they detonate the suicide bomb?
Do you think 9/11/01 was just “Some People Did Something?”

My basic questions to any “Westernized Muslims” or “reformists” would be “What is so good about Islam or its founder Muhammad that you persist in identifying with it or him or do you just ignore all the evil associated with Islam and its founder, Muhammad, as if it never existed and was just recently hijacked by OTHER Muslims?” Sure there are bad people in other religious groups but there’s no comparable “religion” that inspires and condones inhumanity, murder and rape as does Islam and the example of Muhammad for the past 14 centuries to recent times.

If “moderate”, “secular” muslums don’t support the hatred, slavery and violence against the unbeliever that is sacralised by their death cult then why don’t they do anything substantive to stop it?

Good question. They simply don’t have the authority to delegitimize the true believers who will kill the moderates, heretics, apostates, reformists along with the infidels. The “moderates” are nonetheless useful for the Islamic hijrah for the colonization of Islam in the infidel West. Moderate Islam is an invention of the Western dhimmis who just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that a so-called “religion” of Islam is evil at its core. It’s just a matter of degree as to how much a Muslim has the luxury of choice to act out Sharia and the teachings of Islam. There may be moderate Muslims but there is no moderate Islam according to Erdogan.

Dr. Wafa Sultan, the brave atheist woman originally from Syria, dared to debate a “moderate” Syrian Alawite cleric on television there (this before the Arabpig Spring when Bashar Assad’s Syria was considered the model “secular” muslum state. The debate centered on the rabid Jew hate that is sacralised in islum. At some point the Alawite cleric asked her if she were still a muslum, when she replied in the negative he refused to speak to her further. Following this “debate” she received a death fatwah and had to flee Syria. In the USA she still receives death threats from her muslum fanbase and US law enforcement couldn’t care less.

Muslims don’t believe in art, music, dancing, drinking (yeah, right) and having a good time. How can there be a comedy show about muslim girls?
Oh, if you portray their idea of comedy, then that should be a series about women getting beaten, beheading, gays being thrown off buildings,torture…. That’s their idea of having a good time..

Of course I know that but if I had a picture of Muhammad as a “smiley face” I would have used that to illustrate my point which is that this show is pretending to represent Islam as a lighthearted benign culture. This classic Hitler mustache on a smiley face is what these “Halal Gurls” are doing, i.e., putting a smiley face on sinister Islam which, like it or not, has NOT ACHIEVED the sinister status of Hitlerlerian Nazism which everyone readily accepts as fascistic but unfortunately the rest of the Western dhimmi world outside of Geller Report has not yet realized the fact that Islam is not only fascist, but is much worse than Hitlerian fascism. It might do some good though to continue to refer to Islam as IslamoNazism or IslamoFascism whenever possible to drive home the point to the dumb dhimmis (which is what got me banned on Twitter). I get most perturbed by the intellectual Western Muslim reformists (Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, Imam of Peace, Dr. Qanta Ahmed) referring to their fellow ‘evil’ Muslim fundamentalists with the newly invented label of ‘ISLAMISTS’ even though those “baddie” Muslims have the same ideology of Islam and the same hideous founder, Muhammad, as the reformists.
Bill Warner likes to play it safe and use the term “Political Islam.”
Islam by any other name still stinks. Somehow this stinkin’ ideology even got turned into a “race,” an immutable characteristic, that no one is allowed to mock or else you are a “racist” besides being an Islamophobe.
