My experience looking for hijabi and niqabi style blogs in the hijab and niqab related tags

Talia and Baby Jay dynamic make my brain giggle.

More oc art!

[ID: A drawing of two original characters, Leila Suleiman and Aasia Suleiman. Both have brown skin. Leila is wearing a blue hijab, cardigan and full length skirt, and glasses. Aasia is wearing a red hijab and shirt, with tan pants and a brown baseball cap. She is happily hugging her sister, who looks very uncomfortable. There is curving text across the drawing that reads "Sister Hug". /End ID]

Hot take but I think Muslims who are queer should be allowed to be open in supposedly lgbt spaces about being Muslim and queer

do you have any muslim barriss headcanons?

i mean barriss being a muslim is a headcanon in itself but really i think headcanons, especially about religion, are really influenced by the culture that the person comes from. i don't really know a lot about mirialans in general so i can't say much about my opinions on how barriss practices islam because it does depend from culture to culture. i DO think that barriss probably teaches or talks a lot about it to ahsoka, who probably really loves listening to what barriss has to say. i also think barriss would be the type to mutter under her breath stuff like "astaghfirullah" or "alhamdulillah" whenever appropriate, because tbh most muslims do that anyway. i think barriss and other muslims would take long rests and meditate more often during ramadan, and i think the jedi council would approve of it and let people take time away from battles and missions for all those who practice as well. ahsoka probably tries fasting with barriss one day and fails so bad lmao. i also really like barriss' and anakin's dynamic- something about those two interacting is very special to me- so i think when barriss likes to tag along with ahsoka and anakin on missions, anakin is always very interested in listening and learning from barriss, and tries to be as respectful as possible and giving her space and looking away from her if her modesty is accidentally broken. barriss is just very special to me and i think her interactions with others is what makes her character so interesting.

"white men literally go and kill their entire families when they've decided they no longer want to be a husband and a father yet y'all on here talking abt immigrants, black people, and arab men. your own husband/boyfriend is more likely to rape and murder you than any of those demographics" and yet arab, black, and asian males all have the societal right to honor kill any woman in their family or town who does anything out of line.

the white males will at least have the chance to face legal consequence. literally cant even fathom your logic rn girl

Crying sobbing so happy Barriss found peace

okay. one day i will stop talking about islam but it's not gonna be today. anyway, to overcorrect on post-9/11 islamophobia, a lot of liberal spaces infested by the types of muslims who will call you islamophobic and disrespectful of their culture when you call them out on their homophobia or transphobia and who will deny the infestations of misogyny and antiblackness and antisemitism in their (our) communities because Um Actually You Don't Get The Full Context, have started to almost . idk the word but like, deify? whitewash? sugarcoat? islam as if it's like. One Inherently Good Singular Ideology Misunderstood By White People For Racism Reasons. when yes, obviously, islam and muslims who live in the west are oppressed, but that's not all islam is. and it's such disservice to act like Islam cannot be oppressive to so many people who do live in the global south living either directly under islamist rule or just in conservative muslim-majority communities, to say that no actually we're a peaceful religion and we WORSHIP women actually! like to gaslight people who have actually been forced to wear the hijab, who have actually been victims of misogynistic honor-based violence, who have actually been pulled out of school to be married off to a 50 year old man because "the prophet did it so it's islamically ok!"

and it's tricky to talk about because you don't want to fuel islamophobia (which, like antisemitism, is obviously a legitimate tangible thing, but also can be weaponized) also it is so fucking ANNOYINGGGGG to watch discourse on islam be led by people who have never experienced oppression fueled by islam like sure you're a good ally to guys like mohamed hijab but also people like sara hegazy mahsa amini etc etc all these people are real people who were tangibly hurt in the name of islam. there is a reason why a man like andrew tate felt it was ok for a man like him to convert to islam and there is a reason why so many Muslim men welcomed him with open fucking arms. you're sure not a good ally to queer people and atheists and christians and jews who have been tangibly hurt in the name of islam.

and we can discuss the doctrine itself, we can talk about the effects of colonialism, we can talk about how no actually islam doesn't say that lets not conflate between ~ real religion and corrupt regimes but the thing issssss. religion is literally what you make of it. it is an idea. there is a book and you take what you take from it. there is no such thing as "the correct way" to practice religion, especially when all Abrahamic religions have the capacity to be peaceful AND the capacity to be violent. what is REAL representation? who are you to say what real representation is, anyway? who decides what is extremism? why do you, personally, get to pick and choose who and what represents a certain religion?

islam, like Every Religion Ever, manifests itself in different ways depending on ur social context. whether you have the means to exact oppression via religion or whether you are disenfranchised because you're an ethnic or racial or religious minority. religion has and always will be used both as a tool for good (community building, etc) or for evil (daaesh, lol) it's not about religion itself. it's about how you use it and its place in the social pecking order.

anyway. tl;dr. i hate oversimplication and i hate overcorrection. quite frankly, it's orientalist and racist, to assume that an organized religion followed by over a billion people in most countries in the world, all believe the same beliefs. even if u think these beliefs are "good." here's over a billion of us and some of us are bound to be cunts! statistically.

This blog is finally pure 🧕🖤 no more non hijabis in the top feed 🧕🖤 praise Allah 🧕🖤

i feel like some people only care about breaking down gender norms when it's a transgender person presenting as their gender. "why wont you wear skirts?" im a dude. "why arent you okay with being called girlie (gn)?" im a dude. "why dont you want to wear makeup?" im a dude. "but those things dont make you any less of a dude!!" GET OFF MY DICK, CHELSEA.

shopping for a swimsuit as a hijabi is so tedious esp when you’re one of those people that can’t act right in a pool

This is not directed to that anon but I disagree with the statement that everything ex muslim women say is true. While I do sympathize with them that's why I never speak on them bc the best thing to do is just leave them alone so they can heal on their own but some of them just don't know how to read the fucking room. Like when that stupid discourse started about hijabs in the middle of a genocide bc of that video of a guy wrapping his shirt around a woman's head to cover her hair. God forbid a woman has agency. If we will have nothing else left anyways why not leave one thing in our own control? And people saying that they wouldn't have taken her out otherwise omfg- WHERE did you see her safety being compromised? she was first taken out then they helped her cover up better

i think this is a good example of why it's necessary even if uncomfortable to balance various nuances against each other. i completely agree that the discourse around that video was ill-timed, disrespectful, and presumptive. and i vehemently disagree with the presumption from a lot of radical feminists and terfs that palestinian women in this moment share more material reality with israeli women than they do with palestinian men. that discourse was a perfect example of the lack of intersectionality inherent to a lot of purportedly feminist spaces. but as i mentioned in the very first ask i don't think we can deny ourselves the reality of something even if it's not necessarily the most pressing thing to address in a given moment. palestinian liberation is the foremost priority right now, but like any ethnic group, the palestinians are possessive of various hierarchies whether with regards to class, race, gender, etc. the civilian population at large doesn't have the infrastructure to work towards addressing those hierarchies currently. but they exist nonetheless and they are contributive to material realities regardless of how minimally important we may perceive them to be in the face of the rampant destruction. and i think to be good activists we have to be intelligent and patient enough to not let people with the wrong intentions prevent us from acknowledging those realities or having conversations about them if they are prompted from a place of good faith. obv in this situation they were not. but it's not to say every single person who wants to talk about those material realities is simultaneously incapable of wholeheartedly advocating for the liberation of the people. a very large part of advocating against phenomena like ethnic cleansing is acknowledging that people don't have to be perfect to earn your support in that regard. you advocate against ethnic cleansing and genocide because it is wrong and evil to do. not because the morality of the people you're supporting is pristine and without flaw

Honestly the internet can be an awful place sometimes and it's kinda getting to me how much hate and aggression I'm seeing towards my own people.
