Muslim Mayor of ‘Londonistan’ Makes
Disturbing Moves Against Women
The Muslim Mayor of London, Sadiq
Khan, has only been in office for a short time, but that hasn’t stopped him
from making a couple of big moves to marginalize women, in keeping with his
Islamic faith.
He recently banned all ads the
feature scantily clad women from appearing on London’s public transport. Of
course, he tried to play it off, claiming that those ads make women feel
“ashamed” of their bodies. But, of course, he failed to recognize that those
ads that feature women – are selling products that women love to buy.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Khan
just gave a speech in Manchester, England where the women attending the event
were forced to stand in the back – separate from the men. Just as Islam forces
women to stand at the back of mosques, away from the men, during worship.
The speech was given at a Labour
event. Breitbart reports: It is not the first time that a Labour event has seen the segregation of
women. The party has often been accused of pandering to hard-line Muslims,
with a number of incidents being revealed last year.
The Mayor has also been in hot water before when it comes to questions
over his links to Islamist groups and those who practice a more traditional form
of Islam that often sees women segregated at events from men. Adding further
fuel to the accusations that Mr. Khan is attempting to enforce a more
traditional role of women in public life is his new ban on sexualised
advertising on London’s public transport.
According to Mr. Khan, the ban on sexualised advertisements was to prevent exposure to images of scantly clad
models making women feel “ashamed” of their own bodies. Though the move plays
into the desires of feminists who want to see a more prudish take on women in
public life, it also plays to the views of Islamists and Islamic
traditionalists who desire women to cover up for reasons of “modesty”.
Do you think this is just the
beginning, will this mayor try to impose more aspects of Sharia law on the
city?
