PARIS. MODEST (ISLAM) FASHION WEEK.
Paris - the city that gave the world freedom, revolution and haute couture - has just held its first “Modest Fashion Week.”
30 designers. Headscarves. Long dresses. BBC covers it enthusiastically. 124,000 likes and counting.
And some attendees said it felt “significant” that it took place in France. A sign of a “more inclusive culture.”
Inclusive?!!
Let me ask something.
Try asking the women of Iran what they think of that kind of “fashion.”
The ones sitting in prison because they took off their headscarf. The ones who were flogged because their hair was wrong.
The ones who were killed because they said no. The ones who burned their headscarves in the streets and shouted Woman Life Freedom - and paid with everything they had.
Ask them whether they think it is “inclusive” that Paris is celebrating exactly what they are fighting against.
The headscarf is not fashion. It is not a choice in the countries where it is mandatory. It is an instrument of control. A symbol of a system that regards women as a threat that must be covered up to protect men from their own impulses.
And the West celebrates it on the catwalk.
And calls it inclusion.
It is not inclusion. It is normalisation. And there is a very big difference.
One can absolutely respect a woman’s right to dress as she pleases - including with a headscarf if it is her free choice.
But let us be honest about how free that choice actually is.
When you have been indoctrinated since childhood. When your identity has been intertwined with the law-religion since you could walk. And when you want to leave that same political law-religion - you risk being cast out by family and community. And in many places in the world…killed.
The free choice is so much said.
And then there is the irony so thick you can barely breathe in it.
France is one of the European countries with the greatest problems with immigration and the Islamisation process.
Banlieues where the police don’t go. Teachers who have been murdered for teaching freedom of speech. Synagogues requiring military protection. A country that is literally losing itself.
And in the middle of all that…Paris holds Modest Fashion Week. And calls it progress.
It is not progress. It is as if Europe is deliberately working to undermine itself.
As if the West has decided to capitulate - and wants it to look good while it happens.
Paris has forgotten who she is.
And BBC has forgotten what journalism is.
