Hijab Day in Minneapolis

“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 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. ... Pictures depicted Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau [a lesbian who recently ‘married’ a female police officer] and several female City Council members, all smiling and wearing hijabs. ... [T]he women who really need protection are not Muslims 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.”
