Photo of Muslim woman `holding bra` sparks outrage

Last Updated: Saturday, April 14, 2012 - 15:21



Ottawa: A Muslim student at the University of British Columbia, Canada, has been slammed by her peers for displaying a provocative photograph of a woman wearing a niqab and holding up a bra.



Sooraya Graham, 24, who is enrolled in a fine arts programme at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, took a black and white picture of her friend as a part of a class assignment.



A Muslim student offended by the image tore the photo down and hid it in protest, despite Graham’s attempt to humanise the figure of a modern Muslim woman wearing the customary veiled outfit, The Daily Mail reports.



According to the paper, Graham feels there is nothing wrong with trying to demystify the appearance of Muslim women in Canada by showing that she too wears underwear just like any other person.



"I found it really intrusive. There are things I encounter in the world I don’t like or I don’t agree with, but I would never take something down," the paper quoted her, as saying.



Since the protest has gone public, an education centre in the city funded by the Saudi Arabian embassy has expressed its opposition to the black and white image.

It's a feature of abrahamic religions to limit visibility (and mobility and self-sufficiency) of women: expected to not show themselves in public at all or at least having to have the head covered etc. E.g. christian women used to cover their heads, not at all just in church (as is mandated by the babble). Over time, it became a habit (accidental pun) that lasted at least until the 80s/early 90s among adult women in Europe. Russia too of course. So one saw many wearing scarves. With the increase of islamics in Europe, seen wearing scarves, there was a parallel decline in European women of christian society wearing scarves. Not sure whether the two developments - of increase in covered islamic women vs decrease in covered christian women - were related. But surprised that christian women in India don't take to it: at a minimum, women having their head covered is Very Compulsory when in a church. The opposite is compulsory for men: heads must Not be covered in church.



Some orthodox sects of Judaism are a bit reminiscent of islam in that they still don't approve of public sightings of women, see below. (This was a feature of christianism too but it was harder to implement in Europe. IIRC it was historically a feature of christianism in the Levant.)

A small Jewish ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel has found itself in the spotlight after digitally removing Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel from a photo of this week’s Paris march.



World leaders had linked arms to march in Paris against terrorism after Islamic extremists killed 17 people. At the march, Merkel stood in the front row between the French president, François Hollande, and Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas.



But readers of the Hamevaser newspaper’s Monday edition didn’t know, as she had been digitally removed, leaving Abbas standing next to Hollande. Israeli media joked it was meant to bring Abbas closer to Israeli premier Binyamin Netanyahu, who was standing nearby.

Within the insular ultra-Orthodox community, pictures of women are rarely shown, due to modesty concerns. In Jerusalem, ultra-Orthodox vandals frequently deface buses and billboards with advertising deemed to be immodest.

‘Including a picture of a woman into something so sacred, as far as we are concerned, it can desecrate the memory of the martyrs and not the other way around,” Hamevaser’s editor said. Photograph: Israel Sun/Rex



The picture in Hamevaser also cut out other women, like the Paris mayor, Anne Hidalgo, though the newspaper clumsily left her dark glove on the sleeve of a marcher. The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, was cropped out.



Binyamin Lipkin, editor of Hamevaser, said the newspaper is a family publication that must be suitable for all audiences, including young children.



“The eight-year-old can’t see what I don’t want him to see,” he told Israel’s Channel 10 television station. “True, a picture of Angela Merkel should not ruin the child, but if I draw a line, I have to put it there from the bottom all the way to the top.”



He also said he did not want to tarnish the memories of the people killed in the attacks.



“Including a picture of a woman into something so sacred, as far as we are concerned, it can desecrate the memory of the martyrs and not the other way around,” he said.

When islamania invaded India and usurped Indian regions, Hindus in the affected areas ended up having their heads covered, and over time even resorted to keeping their women safely indoors so they won't be seen in public [by islamaniacs]. The latter is demonstrably an attempt to avoid the regular islamaniac kidnapping of Hindu women into islamania harems, since islamaniac males were always rapist and on the prowl for kaffir women. Nowadays can see many christos including especially aliens (and even some islamics) writing psyops about how restricting Hindu women to their homes is Hindu "culture" too, but while Hindoo families always took extra care about female family members because they were female - and needed protection from christoislamaniac males, as they still do today - historic Hindoo literature (especially of the pre-islamaniac invasions of India, and those of the south) shows that Hindoo religion did NOT entrap women in their homes, or keep them out of sight.

It has now once again become a grave necessity and not just a mere safeguard - and this is now even true in southern areas of India, where christoislamania is on the rise - for Hindoo males to accompany Hindoo women when going about in public in dangerous areas where christoislamaniacs may lurk. And even having Hindoo male company hasn't always proved a sufficient deterrent to christoislamic rapists attacking Hindu women.



[Am surprised Hindoo men haven't started charging fees for having to go about accompanying Hindoo women/playing bodyguard. I mean, I would totally charge for it, not being in the charity business and my time and effort is measured in terms of money. But for some reason, Hindoo males see it as their duty to look after the welfare of those around them, especially if they perceive them to be more vulnerable to christoislamic terrorism.

However, my idea still has its merits: issuing news about charging fees will make it clear to the christomedia fembots - always agitating to launch some psy-ops against Hindoo religion and males - that they can't invert this enforced situation into an issue about how Hindu women are "oppressed" by Hindu men whenever any Hindu female is seen accompanied by her male relative or (family) friend. Bodyguarding is a legit service and can't be dismissed by feminisms.]
