  • Hijab burning
     OP - March 14, 2009, 03:36 PM
    On the Women?s Interational Day, the 8th of March, inspired by the bra burning of the sixties, a Syrian/Norwegian Muslima, called Sara Azmeh Rasmussen, publicly burned her hijab. She was pelted with snowballs by furious Muslimas and has also received a death threat.

    You go Sara.

    And she lives in a society/country that still values free speech.

    I just found out, not only is she burning a hijab, but she's also an outed Lesbian. WOW

    Double slap for the raging Islamists.

    "Sara Azmeh Rasmussen, a Norwegian of Syrian origin burns a hijab in March 2009 on International Women's Day to protest against repression of women in Islam.

    She calls herself a cultural Muslim and outed herself as lesbian in early 2008."

    Wow, that is something! She better be more careful though.

    Anyways, I think she is cool looking with that short hair.

    Bravo to this brave woman. She's got balls! I love it! More women in Muslim countries need to take a stand against institutionalized sexism.

    Yeah but saying "she has tits" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Grin

    I agree. I'm a frequent user of the term She got BALLS of steel or He got BALLS of steel... there's something very immediate and powerful. And I refuse to believe the patriarchy in any way. Balls also = Ovaries, my dear.  yes

    Fantastic stuff!  Is this the fuse that sparks the main event I wonder? It's encouragingly redolent of the 60s and that really set the chins wagging.
