A Muslim Woman's Lack of Solidarity with Iranian Women

A Muslim woman said on social media that, "Western women are harassed for dressing like shameless women. With the hijab and niqab, they would have more dignity and respect!"

The comment is problematic in (at least) two ways. Firstly, it reduces all men to mindless animals who are incapable of controlling themselves when they see a woman’s skin. This may hold true in some cultures, though in European culture, it is a marginal—if not outright sick—phenomenon.

Secondly, it shows that this woman has so deeply submitted to the violent threat of Muslim men that she doesn’t even have the solidarity to keep quiet out of respect for her own gender. I’m referring, of course, to those women who, for example in Iran, are risking their lives just to dress as they choose. And who, as a result, are subjected to the violence of the ape-like men of their own culture.

What I find particularly incomprehensible is that in Western countries, it is precisely women who support such immigration, which brings among us such ape-like men. This is especially evident now in the United Kingdom, but the phenomenon is clear elsewhere in Europe as well.
