My favourite ExMuslim @YasMohammedxx has a message for you. Share your stories of #Islamotrauma for the world to see why our fear of Islam is rational and rooted in our subjugation, oppression and abuse. #LetUsTalk 
As an #ExMuslim, I can never go back to Iran because the government could put me in jail indefinitely or hang me for the simply saying I don’t believe in Islam or God. There’s no going back on your religion in Iran. You’re born a Muslim, you die a Muslim. Literally. #Islamotrauma
I can’t dance or sing under the Islamic regime. I can’t be a judge or the president. I can’t get a divorce, except in extremely dire situations, and I can’t have 2 husbands but my husband can have 4 permanent wives and 99 temporary ones. #Islamotrauma
Because I am tired of my identity being erased. Because I can’t ever go back to Iran. Because I would be murdered for not wearing hijab. Because the Islamic Regime could imprison/ hang me for stating I don’t believe in Islam. /1 #Islamotrauama #LetUsTalk #ExMuslim
Because I was born into it and never given a choice. Because everyone assumes automatically that I still believe Islam is the only true path to heaven, and therefore believe I am half a man as preached by Islam. Because a man practically owns me/2 #Islamotraums #ExMuslim
if I don’t state openly and clearly that I am not a Muslim. Because I don’t feel safe. Because I deserve to feel safe. Because people like you enjoy erasing my experiences/ trauma as a born Muslim. Because Islam doesn’t give me a choice and I reclaim it./3 #ExMuslim #Islamotrauma

Backlash to #No2Hijab
Today some of these brave women were arrested for the crime of #WalkingUnveiled in Iran.
Western politicians and athletes! Show your solidarity! in your visit to Iran, do not wear compulsory hijab, cause the regime uses it to oppress us more.

Souri Babaei was arrested after her video against compulsory hijab went viral in #No2Hijab campaign in Iran.
She knew that #WalkingUnveiled is a punishable crime but she practiced her civil disobedience to send a message to Iranian regime and the rest of the world.

این اون لحظه‌ایه که داره بهش می‌گه:
«خانومم؟ گلم؟ یه لحظه تشریف بیار»
زن شال سفید با تعجب و زن شال صورتی با ترس بهش نزدیک می‌شن. هنوز مطمئن نیستن چه اتفاقی قرار بیفته. امیدوارند در حد یه تذکر ساده باشه.

اولش با «گلم این چه لباسیه، موهات که همه بیرونه، مانتوت هم که خیلی تنگ و کوتاهه، همه جات زده بیرون» شروع می‌شه. هنوز مطمئن نشدن اوضاع چقدر جدیه.
کم‌کم حلقه‌ی محاصره تنگ‌تر و تنگ‌تر می‌شه. حالا دیگه کاملا متوجه شدن راه فراری نیست و خودشون رو باختن.
Le voile est une obligation qui existe dans la charia sans pour autant exister dans le Coran, il n'y a pas de verset qui ordonne aux femmes de cacher tout leur corps sauf les mains et les visage et encore moins, un verset qui ordonne de cacher leur visage. Thread 1
2. Toutes ces injonctions trouvent origine dans les hadiths (propos attribués à Mahomet) ou dans les ijtihad (travaux des exégètes musulmans à travers les siècles). Le voile est obligatoire dès qu'une fille a ses premières règles car elle devient femme, elle devient aussi...
3. Devient aussi bonne à marier, c'est une femme voyons! Les injonctions sexistes et religieuses sont liées les unes les autres. Devenir "femme" juste en ayant ses menstrues??!! On ne parle pas de la maturité mentale nécessaire mais juste du corps sexualisé à outrance.
خانم عسگری و مامانت تقوی که مدیر مدرسه بود، هنوز نفرت دارم ازتون که روزهام رو بدتر کردین. به من انضباط چهارده میدادین و میگفتی فکر نکن معدل دیپلمت بیست شه، جواب سوالهای تعلیمات دینی رو مثل کتابش مینوشتم و حتا شماره‌ی صفحه رو هم ته‌اش اضافه میکردم، بخاطر تمام

مامانم گفت، خانم خجالت بکشین دختر من با مقنعه اومده و آرایش نداره، به زور دستمال رو محکم میکشیدی روی صورتم و ته‌اش گفتی عجیبه، بعدش گفتی چرا “سبیل” نداری، گفتم نمیدونم مامانم گفت خب از نزدیک نگاه کنین گفتی شانس آوردی بیرنگه ولی هر دوشنبه میومدی با
از روزی که فهمیدم دیگه نمی‌خوام دختر محجبه‌ی چادری مامان و بابام باشم تا روزی که هزاران کیلومتر اون‌طرف‌تر توی یه قاره‌ي دیگه پای اسکایپ بهشون نشون دادم که بیرون تو خیابونم و روسری سرم نیست ۱۵ سال طول کشید.

این ۱۵ سال هر دقیقه‌اش یه جنگ دائمی بود. شروعش از همه سخت‌تر. اینکه دیگه نمی‌خواستم اون دختر خوبه باشم که تو سر خواهرم می‌زدنش خیلی براشون گرون تموم شد. سه سال طول کشید قبول کنن چادر سر نکنم. چقدر محیط بی‌رحم بود. چقدر اتحاد خانواده، فامیل، محله، و نظام کثافت آخوندی بی‌رحم بود.
در عوض من دو تا خواهرام رو داشتم که هر روز این مبارزه رو باهاشون شریک بودم. با هم شوریدیم. با هم درد کشیدیم، حسرت خوردیم، بزرگ شدیم. من یکم کله‌خرتر بودم. اونا صبورتر ولی همچنان پیگیر. هر روز به مادرم می‌گفتم که اگه اختیار لباس پوشیدنم دست خودم بود خوشحال‌تر می‌بودم.
It’s funny how I escaped from the terrorist I was forced to marry, with only my baby daughter and a high school education, then my mother threatened to kill me, escaped her too, and survived to tell the tale-

Every single time I read about a man who beheaded his wife, a father who beheaded his daughter, a brother who killed his sister, chopped her up and buried her in the backyard-I see my face in hers. I know I could have been her. I know I survived for a reason. I will never stop.
@Saharathefree1 grew up in a refugee camp, barely knew her parents, endured FGM, escaped in the middle of the night, worked in whatever jobs she could get her hands on, came to the US illiterate, and now she’s an educator.

I support the movement behind #NoHijabDay where reformist and ex-Muslimahs are calling out the modesty x rape culture that underlies religious veiling. Being able to choose to be #FreeFromHijab is a right. Women's and girls' bodies are not dirty, sinful, or invitations for rape.
I don't support practices from any religion or culture that divide women into "good & pious" and "dirty whores". Of course, veiled women are still subjected to harassment for e.g. "improperly" veiling. No woman actually wins the patriarchal game & yes, there can be racist abuse.
Whether chosen or not, hijab/chador/burqa all tend to come with further and serious restrictions on female freedom. It's not just sweating in the sun - there can be restrictions on her movement, sports, education, sexuality, marriage, etc. Millions of women and girls suffer FGM.
What Islamophobia? It's a serious question for me as someone who's been born a Muslim without any say in the matter and lives under the restrictions of an Islamic regime! If we say we are flogged for drinking liquor based on Sharia laws we're islamophobes?
@JustinTrudeau
@JustinTrudeau
Or if we say that we'd be executed based on Sharia if we have same-sex desires, it's islamophobic? Or we'd be islamophobes if we say that women around us are constantly harassed by the morality police because of their "improper hijab", and get arrested and jailed for it?
Is it islamophobic to be against child marriage which is a clear example of rape and is aligned with Sharia laws? Are we islamophobes if we question the fact that a woman's worth half a man in Islamic laws?

This clip of a debate in the US makes me angry. Especially as today the EU Parliament condemned flogging of Nargess Mohammadi. Narges is a known activist so you hear about her but millions of ordinary people are physically punished every year under Sharia laws.

In Iran not only female activists receive lashes for removing hijab, but also men and women get flogged for attending mix party or drinking alcohol. In the West I’m told, sharing our stories will cause Islamophobia.
Sadly this is still happening in 21st century

Ilhan Omar’s husband just accused journalist Masih Alinejad of not liking Muslims—even though she was born a Muslim in Iran, and in the editorial (which he seems not to have read) mentions her hijab-wearing mother among “many relatives who are pious Muslims I love and respect.”
“Weeks after the Women’s March, I reached out to some of the organizers to seek their help for my campaign against compulsory hijab. I found hardly anyone was willing to support my campaign lest they be accused of promoting Islamophobia.” @AlinejadMasih washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
“I worry that other Americans might be creating precedents that could undermine our freedom to speak out. In December, the House passed the Combating International Islamophobia Act by a vote of 219-212, introduced by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)”
The #LetUsTalk campaign is not just about compulsory Hijab. It is about the repression that the Western citizen imposes and applies on us who grew up with Islam, Muslims, and especially political Islam, through his/her rainbow unicorn perception of multiculturalism./1
At the university, I was forced frequently by Western professors to keep my silence or change the subject of my paper because of Islamophobia, so as not to talk about its violent and discriminatory roots and laws./2
Even once, while arguing with a Syrian student who had also tasted political Islam, we were both forced to stop. As much as I could, I stood up and resisted this repression many times./3
کمپین #LetUsTalk تنها معطوف به حجاب اجباری نیست. درباره سرکوبی است که شهروند غربی به واسطه تصورش از چندفرهنگی به ما که با اسلام و مسلمین و به ویژه اسلام سیاسی رشد کردیم اعمال می‌کند./۱

بارها در دانشگاه توسط اساتید غربی وادار به سکوت و یا تغییر موضوع تحقیق به اتهام اسلام‌هراسی شدم تا مبادا از احکام خشونت‌طلب و تبعیض‌آمیز آن حرفی بزنم. حتی یکبار در حین بحث با دانشجویی سوری که او هم طعم اسلام سیاسی را چشیده بود هر دو مجبور به سکوت شدیم./۲
در حد خودم بارها در برابر این سرکوب ایستادم و مقاومت کردم. شهروند تحصیل‌کرده غربی تحمل به چالش کشیده شدن دنیای پروانه‌ای‌اش توسط منِ خاورمیانه‌ای را ندارد. یا می‌ترسد یا واقعا توهم پروانه‌ای دارد. می‌خواهد اثبات کند از من بهتر جامعه‌ام را می‌شناسد./۳

Is it really a choice? This is why I refused to wear it. 5 years of bullying from the teachers in school for not wearing it. I was the only non hijabi in school.

As punishment for refusing to wear the hijab, I had to clean the Islamic education classroom everyday during break time, sometimes missing lunch. Of course, during that time the ustazah kept telling me I would go to hell for not wearing it. As a last resort, the she (3/6)

L'enfance: je me souviens de mon premier jour d'école. Comme toutes les filles de mon âge en #Iran, j'étais obligée de porter une sorte de voile islamique qui couvrait la tête et le cou et qui descendait jusqu'aux coudes, 👇
#LetUsTalk
#LetUsTalk
Enfant, je portais toujours la frange. Une frange tenace qui s'obstinait dans le refus de se cacher sous le voile. Avant que je parte à l'école, on avait beau essayé de les attacher sous le voile, mes mèches butées se libéraient et glissaient de nouveau sur mon front👇
