I also fight for the end of laws that force a woman to wear a hijab. But somehow, some people who insist their concern is Muslim women’s agency lose all interest when it comes to protecting Muslim women’s right to wear it,per their free choice, & call my beliefs “rape culture”.https://twitter.com/YasMohammedxx/status/1101883897363591168 …

Replying to @LibyaLiberty
1)It was a MUSLIM woman that made the first spot-on analogy to rape culture,
@AsraNomani 2)How Islamophobic of you to fight against hijab..I guess that means you always, always, always hate Muslims? 3)It was an ignorant comment aimed to stifle criticism of Islam-& it won’t work11 replies 43 retweets 192 likes -
@ConfessionsExMu. Hi@LibyaLiberty. I invite you to have a conversation on your thread about “rape culture” & how purity culture of “hijab” is defined by the precise elements that define rape culture. I understand this is uncomfortable but hope you will dare this inquiry.

This kind of response comes from both privilege and ignorance. No one in these photos is told they'll burn in hell if they don't wear scarves. None of them will be imprisoned, beaten or killed for not wearing scarves unlike millions of women

Replying to @YasMohammedxx @ConfessionsExMu and
Yasmine, you're a hero. When I was growing up, hijab was nowhere to be seen. UK based Muslim communities originating from the subcontinent did not wear it. Now it's everywhere. We need to question and protest the spread of fundamentalist Islam.

Thank you, Shazia
It’s important that we fight for progress in our own communities and not let ppl who want to keep us down get in our way. Women’s rights are universal-not just for Western women.
I appreciate your sisterhood and solidarity xxx
