Hi @Imamofpeace in your latest interview with @RubinReport you said “some of the most disgusting women who have ever lived wear burkas.” How can you say this? These women are dehumanized enough in their own societies we don’t need to be doing that here /1

Really? What a horrible thing to say! A woman in a burka is just a human being.

I haven’t watched the interview, but yes. They are just human beings-some are good ppl, some aren’t. There’s this common lesson in Islam that covered women are good (and the more covered the better) and uncovered women are dirty. I think he might have be countering that narrativepic.twitter.com/fs0t0oGmLe

I'd be interested to know what you think once you've had a chance to watch it.

Ok, despite my advice to myself I watched it. There were a few unsettling comments but yes, most personally unsettling were his comments re women in niqab. I’m glad he said some are forced or just want to have a unique identity and some are extremists-that’s true. /1

Saying niqab is are the filthiest etc was most definitely not ok. First of all, insert any demographic there, and that’s just a terrible thing to say. If someone said ‘Men who wear turbans are the filthiest’ he wouldn’t like it. I wore a niqab. I didn’t like it. 2

And lastly, of course, those women are dealing w enough shit in their lives already without him telling potentially telling hundreds of thousands of ppl that they’re filthy. It’s not only hurtful, it’s dangerous as some ppl will take that as reason to disparage them further 3

One more: The inside out abaya was a movement in Saudi for women to resist the mandatory abaya...conflating it w sex workers in Iraq wasn’t helpful. It’s such a localized thing. He didn’t need to broadcast it. Instead broadcast about the women that wear it inside out in defiance
