Hollywood stars and entertainment blockheads continue to flout their stupidity and useful idiocy.
The burka is iconic of gender apartheid, misogyny, oppression and subjugation. What next, Alicia, swastika epaulets in the name of diversity and enlightenment?

Pop music star Alicia Keys may have gone a leg too far in attempting to celebrate “diversity.” By Adan Salazar, March 30, 2017: In a recently-deleted Sunday evening tweet, Keys stirred outrage with a photograph depicting her in a tight-fitting niqab, an orthodox Muslim piece of attire meant to be loosely worn. Keys also flashed her leg in the photo, a defiance of Islamic dress codes which often leads to brutal penalties in some Muslim populations. [the_ad id=”90513″]
“Our strength is in our differences / Our power is in our diversity / We are so beautiful / All of us / When we see each other / We see ourselves…” Keys’ tweet said.
Many commenters immediately informed her the tweet was out of line, with some accusing her of “glamorizing the veil.”
Malak Al Shehri, the woman mentioned in one of the above tweets, was arrested last year and sentenced to lashings in Saudi Arabia after sharing photos of herself on social media openly defying dress code.
Others pointed out that when zoomed in, it appeared the burqa was photoshopped onto a previous photo.
The ill-advised tweet was deleted Wednesday with no explanation offered.
Ali Al Sharji, the “conceptual artist” behind the photo, retweeted posts which perceived the controversy as a sign that his art was “making people think” and therefore was successful.
In comments to the website Stepfeed, Al Sharji said he wanted to portray an “out of the ordinary” Arab woman.
“My image was [meant] to portray the freedom an Arab woman has to pursue [for] a passion that is out of the ordinary,” Sharji said.
“I feature Arab women as symbols in many of my art pieces to revolutionize the traditional thinking of women not being able to follow their dreams.”
Niqabs differ slightly from burqas in that the outfit has a slit for a woman’s eyes.

“Ali Al Sharji, the “conceptual artist” behind the photo”
– Al Sharji and Keys should spend a nice afternoon in Jeddah and flash a leg while wearing a Burqa.
“My image was [meant] to portray the freedom an Arab woman has to pursue [for] a passion that is out of the ordinary,” Sharji said
– Again pursue a passion that is out of the ordinary in Saudi Arabia and let us know if you ever get back alive.
By the way, Saudis are our good buddies. They buy arms from us and keep the petrodollar racket going. We don’t care that the Saudis are simply ISIS that made it.

All Muslims desire to live under Sharia law. Muslim terrorists are not
hijacking Islamic Sharia law when they engage in jihad. They are
executing it. Nor are they twisting the foundational principles of Islam as
codified in each and every authoritative Islamic source. They are
exemplifying it.

How easily the left capitulates to the enslavement, subjugation and mistreatment of women.
Even in the BS picture, the “muzzie” behind her has a whip. I can only hope she gets what she asks for.

Alicia Keyes is a disgrace. Anything to stand out and sell more music. It would seem that when the idea came up for her to wear a niqab(?) in her video, somebody could have brought up that it wasn’t a good idea. Yet, obviously no one did. She should be forced to wear that garbage in a Muslim country. Then she can see up close what her BS ‘diversity’ is all about.

Women like alicia keys deserve precisely the muslim treatment. Being slapped the crap out of and relegated into the kitchen. Such retards will never, ever learn, without force.

ooooh it is to be shocked, outraged and impressed with the assertion of feminine subservience to islam. Now, if she got her genitals mutilated like a true muslim, she could model the latest in body piercings and associated junk jewelry.

Let her go to a fundamentalist Islamic country with that tight-fitting niqab & flashing some leg, see how that works out for her.

Actually, this might be step in the right direction. I want to see the slutterizing of the burka and hijab. I want to see strippers and pornstars wearing them on the job. Just imagine the creative ways they could defile them. If that ever happens, watch how quickly the Left starts sputtering about “cultural appropriation”. The very fact that they’re not doing so now every time some useful idiot wears one just shows what hypocrites they are.

Back in the 1980’s, there was a Playboy pinup that was invited to Saudi Arabia. Blonde, blue-eyed, she went. The “prince” that invited her, locked her in a room and screwed her brains out and had his way with her for about three months, until he got tired of her. She kept saying she was an American and had Constitutional Rights. After she came back to the U.S., she was informed American Constitutional Rights only apply to the U.S.
Some awakenings are rather rude.

Must take a REAL TOUGH muzzie to throw acid in a woman’s face. But then, as Keyes obviously doesn’t know, women, to muslims, are just animals…mere possessions and they are the problem with the world, according to muzzies.

Thank God someone had the courage to put the “REAL FACE OF ISLAM” out there. All these people that think that there is nothing wrong with Islam and that it is a peaceful religion haven’t got a clue as to what they are talking about. Get the fricken book and read it for yourself, this is NOT a religion, it is a theocratic political ideology that means to rule the world and subjucate the entire world under Islamic Sharia Law. Any religion that can take a six year old girl to marry and old man is a sick sick religion, genital mutilations, stoning their wives or whipping them. I would like to see Ms. Keys do this in Saudi Arabia, Wake up.

So the guy behind her with a lash is what American women want now? I’m so behind that I thought it was still destroying the child in their womb on demand, and getting free birth control? Feminism sure is confusing.

I would rather my taxes pay for free birth control than abortions. Will taxes paying for women’s birth control pills that are between $8-$12 dollars going to break your piggy bank. I also believe that abstinence is better than either.

“All of us….when we see each other, we see ourselves”.
But in those creepy black costumes, there’s no way to see each other unless
the Muslima removes her face covering. Otherwise, they all look alike.
Funny that in American culture, Death has always been depicted wearing a
long black costume with a skull face indistinguishable from anyone else’s.
I always think of that whenever I see those invisible, dead-to-the-world
Muslim women in black from head to toe.

What Keyes did could actually be a good thing
Probably there are outraged and severely offended Muslims everywhere
Debating the most beneficial to Islam path to proceed upon
Trying to decide if she should be prosecuted for blasphemy
Islamophobia or some hate crime
Or embraced as inclusive and understanding
I would not be surprised if she receives death threats
Things as insignificant as cartoons have warranted such in the past
This may shine a bright light on Islam
In a way she most likely never intended

Alicia, if you feel that strongly about it, why not go ahead and convert to Islam; then watch and see what happens to you. It will not be a pretty picture-not here nor, certainly, in the hereafter.

…and the fatwha against such hijab/burka wear hits in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, …….
*Brain damage. It’s all I can think of to explain some liberal progs obssession with traditional female muslim dress. I used to think it a mental illness; but now I’m positive it must be brain damage. There is simply no other explaination for it. For a woman of color to support this makes it even more queer… *smh. Leave it to the blue man group to take something as oppresive and perverse as a burka and make it a liberal woman’s cry for freedom. *face palm.

Only a left-wing liberal living in subjective reality could promote the hijab, the quintessential symbol of feminine oppression, as fashion. The idea is so spectacularly stupid that it defies description. This is yet another salvo in the attempt to Islamicize the West by making the unacceptable dictates of sharia law acceptable. Psychologically speaking, it is well known that familiarity brings acceptance – so the purpose of making the hijab fashionable and familiar has the sinister purpose of making hijabs /oppressive sharia law acceptable. This is a monstrous strategy of indoctrination and social engineering designed to change public perception of the hijab from a symbol of oppression (objective reality) to a symbol of fashion (subjective reality). Anyone who participates in this idiocy is a useful idiot.
