Islam is right about Women

Harvey Weinstein

Apparently some posters have been appearing around Limerick

The posters state that "Islam is right about Women" and have been described as 'inflammatory'

Whats the issue? Is Islam wrong about Women then?

Can someone explain.

Good thing you're not using them in the way that bunch of far right people did. That'd make you a fellow traveller at the very least.

Same posters were put up in Winchester Mass. over the last few days as well.

ABC reporting that you can actually smell the basement off them.

"Far-right hoaxers behind Islam posters."

There's your answer Harvey, unless you're here to admit involvement.

A pretty desperate attempt at stirring the pot. 1/10, single mark for ingeniously undermining your OP with the Times link.

OP why are you littering around limerick

Can anyone answer the question though?

Why is it controversial to state that Islam is right about Women?

It's funny the way when you post something like this, all the lefties come out and comment about the quality of the posters instead of talking about what's written on them.

Traditionally, the Nazis were regarded as the ones with the best branding. The uniforms, the logo, the spectacular rallies. You get loads of people collecting their stuff who swear blind there's not into the politics, like that auld priest in that Fr. Ted episode, or Lemmy from Motorhead.

Hitler would be turning in his grave on the Moon if he saw the state of that poster. Shocking stuff.

Is it? I have no time for Islam or any other religion. Criticise the religion all you want as far as I’m condemned. But I would still push back against discrimination against the actual people who believe.

What exactly does Islam say about women? I don’t believe in Islam so I don’t claim to know everything it says about women.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’ve no interest in looking it up. I don’t know and I don’t care. Feel free to be annoyed.

Amazing that this is a thread about someone putting up posters about Islam, and it’s a feminism and the left bashing thread.

Because as a religion it has a disgusting, medieval view of women, their rights and their place in the world.

More or less yeah, but more to do with the interpretation of Islam and the churches rule, but yeah some extrem forms .. you would not want to be a woman.
But one should ask Mary McCalease about the RC view on women as being inherently evil and agents of corruption , and second class citizens, but yeah in a half penny place compared to SOME Muslim set ups.

In fairness it's a ****e poster. No denying that.

It's not a poster lads its a printed A4 page that some sad little fùckwit has taped up to cause some sort of reaction.

Going by ops past posts he probably knows said fùckwit by name and has him on speed dial.

well Islam does often resemble the bogeyman of the 'far right' that some have imagined and regurgitate constantly, but for some reason the hard left don't seem to think islam is in any way right wing and constantly defend it....

Harvey Weinstein

Maybe they should change the poster to 'Islam is Far Right about Women'

meeeeh

I agree that Islam and Far Right have the same attitude to women. They are there to be quiet and do what they are told. So I'm not surprised that far right activists think Islam is right about women. Although those are really poor posters and they should try a bit harder next time.

Anyway, to clear up the mystery, it was racist basement-dwelling dickheads from 4chan.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/far-right-hoaxers-behind-islam-posters-g7cnkw0b2

An analysis by Storyful, the social media intelligence agency, found that the posters originated on 4chan, the anonymous online message board. The online community is known for spreading hate speech, far-right conspiracy theories and acting as a breeding ground for the white nationalist “alt-right”. Storyful recorded more than 22,400 posts on 4chan over the past month from users that identify as Irish.

The poster campaign was first discussed on the website on September 3, with one user asking where to post the flyers in order to cause “maximum leftist meltdown”. There have been almost daily threads since then encouraging users to print and put up the posters to trigger the “doublethink of the modern destructive left”.

One user said that the left knows that “Islam considers women inferior, contrary to their idea of the ‘strong independent woman’,” but their “slavish subjugation” to Islam and third-world immigrants “prevents them from calling Islam a problem”.

They added: “They cannot call out that they either reject the Islamic stance on woman, or that they support the subjugation of women. Their doublethink — holding two contradictory ideas at the same time — is brought to light, something that makes them feel very uneasy.”

The campaign has been mentioned more than 2,000 times across a number of social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit and Gab, a social media site known for its far-right userbase. It has been mentioned 860 times on 4chan.

The posters also appeared in other cities, including Boston, Massachusetts, where they were covered by Boston 25 News. Reporters interviewed locals who questioned whether the posters had been put up by a Muslim or by someone trying to incite hatred towards the faith.

The lie comes with your concern trolling in the original post. When you ask 'Can someone explain.' Having got the screen-shot from the story I just linked, feigning ignorance about the whole thing so that you can push your far-right 4Chan agenda.

That dedicated level of sadness makes our own PUA rereg appear well-balanced by comparison.

Chris_Heilong

It is very clever because it highlights the paradox of saying I support feminism and I support Islam as the two are polar opposites.

Gregor Samsa

But do the left really support Islam in the same way they support feminism? That’s just a right wing misconception, isn’t it? Claiming Liberals are Islamists because they don’t support active discrimination against Muslims. Right wingers often get carried away with their own hyperbole. The whole thing seems to be based on a false premise, which coupled with the appalling lack of graphic design in the poster, makes it all a bit sad.

suicide_circus

There's a shared hatred of Israel.

Islam is about as repressive a patriarchy as you'll ever find but there is a shared dislike of western hegemony (read western patriarchy).

Because anybody who doesn't believe the Left's whitewashing of Islam is automatically "Far Right", "Nazi", "KKK",etc.
