When I first came on Twitter ~3 yrs ago, the dominant narrative was: Islam is a religion of peace but fundamentalists, Islamists, and Jihadis have ‘hijacked’ the religion Now, I think the narrative has shifted. Ppl understand that dying a shaheed is the highest honor in #Islam 1

Now I’m at another turning point. I think more than enough ppl are out there raising the alarm in the detrimental aspects of the religion that need to be criticized, ridiculed, reformed etc. So I’m no longer needed in that. 3

Those are the women I want to focus on. Women in #Iran inspired by @AlinejadMasih who remove their forced hijabs and wave them defiantly under threat of imprisonment #MyStealthyFreedom #WhiteWednesdays #WomenOfRevolutionStreet 5

Women in #SaudiArabia who fight against misogynistic guardianship laws, forced niqab and abayas #StopEnslavingSaudiWomen #IAmMyOwnGuardian #حرق_النقاب #العبايه_المقلوبة 6

Not enough ppl are countering the well-meaning but dangerous Western corps, and ppl, that promote hijab and support the modesty culture that these women literally lose their lives for fighting against. @Mattel @Nike @marksandspencer @Gap @Macys @MileyCyrus @aliciakeys Etc... 7
