The #HijabRow reaffirms the belief that the so called religion enforced on the people of the captured land by the invaders from Medina acted like a TROJAN Horse if the invaders lost control of that land.

#TrojanHorse
This Trojan Horse can be activated anytime, anywhere by anyone, as seen clearly in the case of #Iran

Iranians enjoyed lot of freedom under d Shah of Iran for a brief period although most #Zoroastrian were converted into Islam over the last 1000 yrs resulting in Muslim majority
Then people sitting in Europe started activating the Trojan Horse which was dormant and started instigating the people in the name of Islam

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.

All my sisters who have the experienced the brutally under Sharia laws are now united. Women of Iran, Afghanistan and all Middle Eastern who still get lashes, jailed, killed and Kicked out from their homeland for demanding freedom and dignity now asking the world: #LetUsTalk
2)
How many countries do you know that women are in jail or get lashes because of being #FreeFromHijab?
At least 5 anti compulsory hijab activists are in jail. Saba Kordafshari was only 20 years old, she received 27 years prison sentence and Yasaman received 16 years. #LetUsTalk

This is our version of women’s march for #NoHijabDay. We call on feminists to help us to be heard .This is 21st-century and we want to be our true self without being oppressed. We want to be free to criticize any religions including Islam without being censored. #LetUsTalk

Five years ago, I started promoting #NoHijabDay on Feb 1st to directly counter HijabDay.

Every year our pictures and videos go viral. Though the road is long, I can definitely see our efforts are changing the dominant narrative.

Looking fwd to seeing this year’s contributions💕 Image
Two necessary clarifications:

1) We are not asking anyone to remove their hijab- we know they could get killed for it, and we would never do that. This is a day in solidarity and support of those who want to take it off/have taken it off/stand against its misogynist purpose.
2)We are not all ExMuslims. We are Muslims as well. We’re women who were born into Muslim families, women who converted to Islam, women who lived in countries that forced them wear it-we are are a vast array of women from different countries and cultural backgrounds who all unite

No. It is not absurd. Did you even take the 30 seconds to watch the video where @theWatcher3998 clarifies?

Hijab perpetuates victim blaming. It perpetuates slut shaming. Those are cornerstones of rape culture.

#HijabIsRapeCulture
#FreeFromHijab
#NoHijabDay
Examples of slut-shaming: the hijab perpetuates the toxic myth that women who wear it are good and clean and pure and women who do not are filthy whores.

The onus is constantly put on women —the victims—when a sexual assault happens. This is called victim blaming.

Je ne suis pas d’accord @ebothorel. À la différence du voile, la minijupe (un habit respectable)n’est pas obligatoire pour des centaines de millions de femmes dans le 🌍 sous peine de subir le fouet. Et la minijupe, elle, est un choix personnel et non l’emblème d’une idéologie ↩️
Par ailleurs il n’y a pas de différence fondamentale entre les variétés de #Hijabs que vous avez cités, car l’idéologie du voilement (qui existe également dans d’autres religions) renvoie toujours à la même notion: l’impureté du corps féminin. C’est cela que le voile veut dire⤵️
Cf. Les travaux de la philosophe Renée Fregosi. Si le voilement existe dans d’autres religions, seul l’islam en a fait un cheval de bataille (et de Troie), une revendication politique, identitaire, une législation coercitive et un argument commercial. Il s’agit là de faits ⤵️

1. Te voy a contar yo cuán feliz te hace decidir no velarte👇🏿 #NoHijabDay

Desde que tienes consciencia de tu ser como mujer, se te recalca cuál debe ser tu vestimenta: velarte para no pervertir a los hombres y no ser torturada eternamente en el infierno.
2. "Por cada pelo que se te ve, cien pecados se te atribuirán" le decían a Narimen en su adolescencia. Nos intimidan, chantajean e insisten en la importancia de llevar hiyab. No concebimos una vida sin él. No solemos imaginarnos una vida sin hiyab. ¡Nos adoctrinan para amarlo!
3. Y aún decidiendo no llevarlo, nos sentimos culpables. Aún repudiándolo, nos sentimos culpables cuando atacamos este elemento. Hacemos un sobreesfuerzo emocional para combatirlo. No es fácil mantenerse firme en esta lucha. Es una cadena que atraviesa nuestras venas.

#WhenIwasaMuslim From a young age I was the antithesis of the ideal Muslim woman: stubborn, arguementative, loud and opinionated. When we went to the mosque, I wanted to run around and play with the boys, not sit hidden away in the back room as a 'dignified' lady should
I hated the hijab from the outset, bothered by the heat and extra material that was forced on me at every religious ceremony or ritual. I simply couldn't understand what it was about my body and my behaviour that was inherently wrong that it needed to be so crudely erased.
I was told that men and women were 'equal but different' and that my honour lay in being the queen of the house. I was encouraged to take pride in my ownership of this domain, which was such a crucial building block in the integrity of the broader Muslim society.
