The counter-jihad website Creeping Sharia reported Monday that “according to a Facebook post, Somali staffers that work at Minneapolis City Hall declared February 28 ‘Hijab Day’ at City Hall and convinced the police chief and female city council reps to wear hijabs on the job.”
The idea originated
with female Muslim City Hall employees, who then cajoled non-Muslim
women into participating in Hijab Day as well. One enthusiastic
participant was a Muslim woman named Ilhan Omar, who is on the staff of
Minneapolis City Council Member Andrew Johnson. Omar recently instigated a brawl at a Democratic caucus meeting in Cedar-Riverside, leading to several injuries and the cancellation of the meeting.
Pictures depicted Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau and several
female City Council members, all smiling and wearing hijabs. Why? Is
there wear a kippah day? A Sikh turban day? A Christ on the cross day? A
Wiccan witch day? What’s next? Slaughter a live animal and let it bleed
out for lunch day? Inshallah!
This is imposing Islam in Minneapolis. This is dhimmitude on
steroids. A municipality celebrating “Hijab Day” is a violation of the
establishment clause. The dhimmi Chief Harteau ought to be fired.
The hijab is a political statement, not a religious mandate. Mark Steyn says in his book America Alone that
“there is no evidence that any Muslim woman anywhere ever wore the
jilbab before the disco era, when it was taken up by the Muslim Brotherhood and others in the Arab world. It is no more ancient and traditional than platform shoes, bell bottoms, and cheesecloth shirts.”
And “celebrating” Hijab Day is a political statement.
The Minneapolis officials could have more accurately called it
Misogyny Day, as the hijab is a call to women and girls to cover up and
hide their femininity. It is offensive, and it is misogynistic. The
message to women: Hide who you are, because savages cannot control their
carnal appetites! Do it and like it! Embrace the hate! Celebrate the
most extreme, brutal and misogynistic ideology on the face of the earth!
More notably, Police Chief Janeé Harteau is a homosexual.
“Celebrating” the symbol of a virulently anti-gay ideology is the height
of cluelessness and/or self-loathing. Gays under the sharia are
persecuted, oppressed and executed. Over at my newsite Atlas Shrugs, I
run weekly, sometimes daily, news stories of gays getting beaten,
whipped or killed under Islamic law. And Police Chief Janeé Harteau is
celebrating this? Why hasn’t Harteau joined us in condemning the Muslim
oppression of gays under the Sharia? No, instead she bullies her
division into wearing this garment of oppression.
The fault, however, doesn’t lay solely with these Janeé Harteau and
her friends. In his submission speech in Cairo in 2009, Barack Obama said:
“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to
practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in
our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That’s why the
United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women
and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it.”
But the women who really need protection are not Muslimas who are
wearing hijabs – who is bothering them? The real problem is the women
around the world, including non-Muslims, who have been threatened and
even killed for not covering their heads, including Aqsa Parvez who was
murdered by her father and brother for not wearing her hijab; Amira Osman Hamid, the Sudanese woman who took off her hijab and was sentenced to be flogged for doing so; and Amira, the young girl in Egypt who killed herself after she refused to wear the hijab and her family beat her.
Arab American News reported that the last recorded dispute between
Michigan honor-killing victim Jessica Mokdad and her stepfather Rahim
Alfetlawi, who killed her, was over the wearing of the hijab,
which he originally forced her to wear. Jessica didn’t want to wear it,
thereby bringing shame on him and the family. Macomb County Assistant
Prosecutor Bill Contaldo said: “He thought she was becoming too
Westernized. I think this was a very nice young lady wanting to
experiment with Western culture without control and without abuse.” The Detroit Free Press
reported: “Mokdad’s mother told police that Alfetlawi felt so shamed by
her daughter’s Western ways. He killed her in an honor killing, Warren
Police Sgt. Stephen Mills said.”
The Mokdad honor killing was covered up, although I exposed the facts about it at my AFDI/SIOA Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference
on honor killing and Islamic law on April 29, 2012 in Dearborn,
Michigan. Probably Janeé Harteau never heard of Jessica Mokdad. But
Hijab Day at the Minneapolis City Hall is monstrous in light of the fate
of girls like Jessica and Aqsa Parvez.
And it’s not just a few fanatical fathers: last September, according to AFP,
an Al-Qaeda group in Syria said that girls in areas it controlled would
not be allowed to attend school unless they wore “Islamic clothing” –
that is, the hijab (at least). These things aren’t happening only in
Muslim countries: in February 2013, South Australia’s biggest Islamic
school warned both Muslim and non-Muslim teachers that they would be fired if they didn’t wear hijab to school functions.
Creeping Sharia adds: “Meanwhile, the sons of hijabis in Minneapolis were busy striking terror at an LA Fitness where police responded to 147 incidents in 2013 and 24 incidents this year.”
When are they having Female Genital Mutilation Day at Minneapolis City Hall?
