NEA Promotes World Hijab Day, Ignores Women Brutalized and Killed for Not Wearing Hijab
[PJMedia] Saturday, Feb. 1, is another World Hijab Day, a Western feminist expression of solidarity with Moslem women in the United States who are supposedly oppressed and discriminated against because they wear the hijab. The National Education Association (NEA) is going in for this in a big way out of concern for hijab-wearing Moslem women who have supposedly been discriminated against. Notably absent, however, is any NEA concern for women who have been victimized for not wearing the hijab.

The NEA asserted Wednesday that "Moslem students in the United States—from middle school through college and university—are experiencing harassment, discrimination, and bullying at scary rates, surveys show. On college campuses, 49% of Moslem students experienced harassment or discrimination due to their Moslem identity, they told the Council on American—Islamic Relations-CA in 2024. More than one in three felt targeted by professors; more than half by their peers." That would be terrible indeed, but it ain’t necessarily so.

Nonetheless, in order to counter this alleged harassment and discrimination, the NEA wants you to observe World Hijab Day, and quotes one of the proponents of the day as saying: "The whole goal is to dismantle Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
." The idea that there have been any significant manifestations of "Islamophobia" is, however, dubious; note that the NEA relies for its data on the Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm...
(CAIR). Yet CAIR has been caught promoting numerous fake hate crimes.

Also, the oppression related to the hijab is not linked to wearing it, but to not wearing it. Actual incidents of Moslem women being harassed or discriminated against for wearing the hijab in the U.S., meanwhile, are extraordinarily hard to find. It’s much easier to find examples of Moslem women in America who falsely claimed that they were being harassed or discriminated against in order to score points on the left’s insane scale of victimhood worship.

Back on Sept. 16, 2022, in Tehran, the Iranian morality police arrested Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, for not wearing her hijab properly. Amini later died in a hospital in Tehran, and numerous Iranians charged that she had been tortured to death while in jug. All over the country, protesters erupted into the streets to protest not against the hijab laws, but against the repressive and brutal Islamic Theocratic Republic itself.

Other women, and male protesters as well, were killed as the Iranian regime ruthlessly applied the Qur’anic injunction to "strike terror in the enemies of Allah" (8:60). The protests went on for months until the regime began summarily executing protesters, and even then some indomitably courageous Iranians continued to take to the streets to demand their freedom.

It is against that backdrop that World Hijab Day is once again being celebrated. For innumerable women in Iran, the hijab is the most visible sign of their second-class status, and of the brutality of the regime that will imprison them for years or even kill them outright for daring to venture out in public without wearing it.
For the Reader’s edification, editorialist Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, appends a longish list of hijabis who lied in recent years about being attacked for wearing the thing, and an even longer list of girls and women attacked and killed for refusing to wear one.

#1 If we need to do something in Afghanistan in the future, there are some women there who would probably help us.

#2 I would like to invite any Female NEA members to vacation 30 days in IRAN, or any other such Islamic nation. Then behave, teach, act, and dress the same as they do and teach here.

Then honestly report back to us their 1st hand experiences. If they can.

#3 "Each year, our Mohammedan lobby
Promotes here its queer little hobby
Of steering you girls
Clear of baring your curls"
Sneers a dear merely beaten hijabi.
