LOOK AT THIS POOR OPPRESSED WOMAN AND WHAT HER COUNTRY IS MAKING HER DO.
Even in her eyes it says “help me”.
This is why we have to stop these misogynistic societies.
I’m sorry but no. I acknowledg that this is terrible, but don’t you think we should fix our own countries mishaps before we deal in other countries affairs? We have corrupt businesses, crime, poverty, homelessness, and believe it or not starvation.
Does anyone even know the threat that walmart has to this country?!
I hope you’re being ironic ouo
everything about this is horrible tbh

When a Muslim fraternity from the University of Texas at Dallas took to the streets to protest against domestic violence, these striking pictures made waves around the world. Muslim America rocks — we just don’t hear about it often.

I don’t think that’s true, Inna. Pretty sure it’s not.

A French Muslim woman who continued to wear the full-face veil in defiance of a new law banning it in France have been issued fines by a court.Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to France.
This is really sad. ):
Looks like a sea of white assholes trying to swallow her up.
I DON’T. UNDERSTAND. WHAT. THE. BIG. DEAL. IS.
ALSO SO RACIST
I can’t tell you how many times in the winter I’ve walked around with my skin completely covered except my eyes BECAUSE IT’S SO FUCKING COLD SOMETIMES and I put on a hat and a scarf! I mean, I live in Canada where people are allowed to wear the hijab or the niqab if they want to, but in France would I get arrested for it? Unlikely.
No hijabs allowed. Does that mean white people can’t put the hood up on their hoodies? Of course fucking not.
FUCK YOU FRANCE.

There is no denying the extraordinary wealth of material documenting same-sex love and desire between women in the medieval Islamicate world. The medieval Arabic tradition of eroticism is particularly noteworthy because it is far more progressive than is commonly imagined, given the current reappropriation of Islam by fundamentalist political regimes. It brings to light a much richer understanding of sexualities than is imagined to be possible in lands with a majority Muslim population. The texts that have survived are especially valuable because they paint medieval Arab and Muslim women with unexpected agency over their social and sexual lives and have thus the potential to become powerful models of resistance for contemporary Arab and Muslim women. Recovering the evidence of lesbianism and of lesbian-like attachments in the medieval Arabic tradition speaks thus to the emancipatory possibilities of the history of sexuality. Moreover, the medieval Arabic practices of homosexuality and lesbianism also challenge contemporary Western and Eastern (Arabic) assumptions about gender and, in particular, the binary constructions of masculinity and femininity. It is thus significant for the cross-cultural history of sexuality and holds great promise in redressing what Bennett has termed “the heterosexist bias of history.

SIGN THE PETITION to stop Islamophobic discrimination against Alena's Boutique and Bridal
I’m sending this petition out on behalf of Suzanne Chybli, the owner of Alena’s. I’ve been in contact with her for the past few days, and she asked me to create this petition and spread it on Tumblr.
Suzanne Chybli is the owner of Alena’s Boutique and Bridal, a store which caters to the needs of the women in Calgary’s Muslim community. In the past, Alena’s sold hijabs, abayas, and many other special and unique items - until the administration of the North Hill Shopping Centre ordered Chybli to remove all the hijabs and abayas in the store.
Chybli complied with the mall, removing over 40 boxes of stock from her boutique. After she had done so, the mall administration told her, “We have the right to throw you out in 24 hours. We won’t do that because you have removed all the unwanted items as we requested, but we will not be renewing your contract for January 1, 2013.”
Chybli and her customers are devastated at what is happening to one of the only Muslim clothing stores in Calgary.
Says Chybli, “This petition is not meant to help Alena’s in any way, but to increase awareness that comments and discrimination happen all the time.
“Going back in history, almost every culture, religion and race had women wearing a scarf but over time they have decided to remove it. Now, because most Muslims, have chosen to wear one, we are looked at like we are doing something wrong.
“Malls always have the upper hand, so unfortunately there’s nothing really that I can do. I cannot prove that their decision was based on prejudice or because we neglected to obey the terms of the lease. However; as the events have unfolded in the past two to three months regardless it looks like they don’t want us to stay there anyways.
“We’ve been getting dirty looks from the some of the other stores since we opened there. It made me feel like we didn’t belong as we stepped out of area of the city mostly reserved for cultural stores that are in the northeast sector of the city.
“All we want as Alena’s Boutique and Bridal is to have the right to sell very conservative clothing and hijabs to our customers, who thanked us so many times for opening the store on this side of the city.
“I love my store, I love the clothing, and I love the completeness of a woman in proper clothing. My customers are saddened by this tragic event.
“Hopefully we can find a location that is great for the store and customers and not offend anyone else.”
Please stand up for Suzanne Chybli, Alena’s, and the Muslim women of Calgary. Do not allow this discrimination to stand.
Sign the petition here, and reblog and spread the word.
Please, this is really important to me. It is so hard to find clothes that are affordable and islamically appropriate for muslim women to begin with. Please sign and reblog.
Wow, fuck off Calgary.
Crap on a cracker. You can’t win no matter what you wear.
Not cool, Calgary.
