What Hijab Debate? Canada’s Tameera, Nadia and Alysha Mohamed Lead Topless March!


Heck, and here’s me idling about in the Jakarta sunshine yesterday, when, had I but known, a fast flight Friday might have borne me to Ontario in time for this intriguing event.

I doubt the Kitchener Waterloo area has seen such excitement since my cousin, with many other loyalists, chucked the Kaiser’s bust into the river in 1914!

But the bust is still the issue, or rather lots of them, of arguable quality, judging from the photo in the report.

====================================================

Bare With Us" demonstrators gather at the Waterloo Town Square in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 1 August, 2015.
‘Hundreds of topless women joined the march,’ says the BBC, but who are the lucky men in the parade?

=========================================

Hundreds of Canadian woman joined a topless protest march after three sisters were allegedly stopped by police for cycling without shirts. Saturday’s “Bare with us” march took place in Waterloo, Ontario.

I’ll bet my old buddy who worked in Jakarta for years before returning to the Dominion will have found an excuse to visit rels in the vicinity.

But the childish issue about which these show-off gals are demonstrating is much less interesting than the names of the three chief protagonists of their cause. 

“They are boobs not bombs, chill out” and “Nudity isn’t sexual.”

Ayisha – an admirable antidote to Islamophobia!

—————————

The three sisters, Tameera, Nadia and Alysha Mohamed, say that they took their shirts off because it was a hot summer day.

Now, far be it from me to jump to conclusions. That is to risk pinko squeals of ‘Islamophobia,’ after all, the penultimate sin in modern Canada (the ultimate being the equally absurd ‘homophobia!’)

  • islamophobia-21
  • But do their names indicate these up-front agitators are Muslim?

If so, I applaud them, not because I think it is especially commendable to stride about with waggling mammaries, but because it will upset the uptight imams who get into a lather at even a glimpse of glossy locks or even – shock/horror – thigh!

And if bras are to be cast aside, the shariah head-shrouds known in the West as hijabs will not be far behind, en route to the trash-can of Canadian history…

 

PS

Apparently free-swinging public bonzers have been legal since 1991, when a  court ruled there was “nothing degrading or dehumanising” about such a display.

  • burka family
  • If being unclad, or by logical deduction, clad, in a manner that’s degrading or dehumanising” is the litmus test for permissiblity, then how come burkas have not long since been outlawed?

Just asking!
