America's favorite "Muslim reform" writer asks for an anti-hijab day in response to some people trying to be not assholes.

International hijab day was popular on Western social media this year because of the rise of Le Pen, Trump, Cruz, the Sweden Democrats, etc, where these political groups are promising to be as fucking disgusting towards Muslims as is humanly possible. So some people in the West wanted to be nice by promoting international hijab day on social media to combat the horrible disgusting shit of 2015 for Muslims. His response:

Do "moderate left" people ever follow a single moment of what happening in America or Europe? It's pretty fucking obvious that the main issue regarding Islam that Americans or Europeans on social media have to worry about are the Muslim immigration ban proposals and the surge in Muslim hate crimes. Have these people on the moderate left ever talked to someone in America or Europe before? What is going on with the "intellectual anti-Muslim left"?
Can my conservative Muslim sisters join a 'take off' your hijab day in #Solidarity with women who've had acid thrown in their faces?

wait, how is taking off your hijab a sign of support for people who had acid thrown at them?
I don't get the "logical" connection there at all.

The take off the hijab comment is (in my estimate) to be an act of defiance against those in the Muslim world who commit violence against Muslim women for various slights or not doing the proper variation of Islam, an act in support of the women who had acid thrown in their faces in that way. It has to do with one's veil being too loose or revealing.
Want to be 19 is on a propaganda loonery. Somehow being against that behavior is pro-islamaphobia or that in some crazy way anti-islam feelings in America equate to the same level as violent acts like acid throwing. Like I don't even know what this rant is on.
giri: There's as much connection as there is to wearing a hijab in support of Muslims. Supposing its to de-isolate a group. One group isolated for hiding too much face and another for showing too much face.

they haven't because they largely dont care, its why they deflect like crazy when you point out how maajid nawaz and guys like him are basically in the tank with pro-interventionist neocons.
trump and co at least wear their bigotry on their sleeve, muscular liberals try to hide their bullshit under terms like 'nuance'--its no surprise neogaf is full of these clowns.
