Out of our wardrobes
Will men of Faith and no faith stop telling women what to wear – whether in general, in protest or in preference. Just get the hell out of our wardrobes and stay out!
This is probably in reaction to Maajid Nawaz’s tweet on December 21:
My Muslim sisters who support International Hijab day. Why not take off hijab to support acid victims like [t]his too?
Ridley isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, is she. Who told women to wear hijab in the first place? It was a man, wasn’t it? She wears it herself, and in doing so, she is obeying a rule laid down by a man.
Yvonne Ridley is a poisonous sectarian.. She Is pro segregation of the sexes, for instance. She tried to find a “Muslim vote” in the independence referendum in Scotland. As far as I know there’s no real traction to a Muslim political bloc in Scotland, though it’s an issue in some cities in England.
Yvonne was Maid Marion to the Taliban’s Merry Band of Thieves.
Went to a talk she gave here about ten years ago where she described, in a kind of stand-up routine, her capture and subsequent conversion to Islam. It was a lark!
She is unhinged. Although as long as she is contained, controlled and guided by the tight parameters of Islamism she can function and so remains dangerous.
The sentiment is exactly right. She’s just not applying it, as Ophelia points out.
