How must it have felt to have been murdered by your own father? This shit is crazy and my heart hurts.
It's kind of crazy to me that Canadian Muslim groups are simultaneously defending the importance of hijab and denouncing the murder. While I recognize the patriarchal elements that exist in each of the 3 major religions (and am against the idea that Islam is especially limiting to women in comparison to the other two), I still think that Islam should be called out on its shit when need be. I think that the Islamic practice of giving special dress codes for women is only about controlling and restricting women's sexualities, and I am against that. I don't believe in tolerating Islam's brand of patriarchy just because there are other, more mainstream patriarchies that go unacknowledged as such in the day to day. I say, get rid of them all.
