    A growing number of young, progressive Western women are converting to Islam, citing the Israel-Hamas war as motivation for the conversion – and they're documenting their journey on social media.

    Hoover Institution research fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali issued a warning on the new trend during "America's Newsroom," arguing young women are "throwing away" their freedom with the decision.

    "You are converting to throwing away your freedoms as a woman," Ali told Dana Perino on Monday. "Islamic scripture, Islamic law, Sharia law and Islamic practice is crystal clear about the position of women, and it's inferior to men. Your testimony is half that of a man. Your husband can beat you. You have absolutely no freedom."

    LOL. Where to get started. It's amazing watching the progressives support LGBTQ rights at the same time wanting to convert to Islam. Or support women rights, while converting to Islam. Even supporting Islam while championing LGBTQ or women rights is an act of hypocrisy. Too much Rachel Maddow, not even reality apparently.

    They were always going to convert to Islam. They just needed a little push for it to happen now. We've already seen this behavior happen before. Remember when young women were leaving the West to join ISIS? One must conclude that they wanted this all along. We'll never know why, but we're missing something.

    Many are fooled by Fake News.

    "The Washington Post sparked widespread backlash on Sunday for a headline change on its obituary for the leader of the so-called Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, whom it first described as the group’s “terrorist-in-chief,” then, after an edit, as an “austere religious scholar.” The switch drew shock and ire from journalists, politicians and pundits, prompting an especially vociferous response from President Donald Trump’s GOP allies.”
    HUFFINGTON POST, Washington Post Slammed For Calling Baghdadi 'Austere Religious Scholar’, BY Amy Russo, HuffPost• October 27, 2019.
    https://news.yahoo.com/washington-p...-baghdadi-austere-religious-scholar-isis.html

    Women thinking about heading to places like Gaza should be told The Inconvenient Truth: MSM = Fake News.
    It might help. :)

    There are so many layers of stupidity here I’ll just make a note of one:

    So worshipers of god killing other worshippers of god somehow makes these liberal secular atheists become devout worshippers of God?

    I watched a guest speaker on the Blaze last week and the general consensus was, most American haven't a clue about other countries/culture because they have never been anywhere else but the U.S. and in many cases their own back yards.. It was also mentioned that most Americans take "edited for American consumption" video and documentaries as the real deal, when in fact hardly comes close to reality..

    Most people know better than to trust the MSM by now, but there are still many victims of Fake News.

    Oh my! Two TikTok’s!!!

    It is odd to see evangelicals suddenly act like they care about the gay community or that the teaching in the Koran are any more extreme than what is taught in the Bible on gay rights or women’s rights.


    One thing that no one can deny is how glad militant followers of Islam will be that christofascists have already started paving the way for religious law.

    Hell, even your new speaker is all for it.

    Organized religion is a plague upon the earth

    Could it be that these women really like misogyny and want men to dominate them? Seems to be exactly what's happening.

    No I don't think they're full I think they're not exactly what it is. Some women for whatever reason really really like men who do illegal and criminal things.
    It's called hybristophilia.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybristophilia

    I remember a lot of women finding the Boston bomber sexually attractive. And there was a ton of Love letters sent to that scum that shot up Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high School. The Aurora shooter probably got a lot too.

    There's just a certain amount of women probably more than they would like to admit that are turned on by this sort of thing.

    It's a bizarre thing but for whatever reason there's people that are into it.

    I'll never really understand the draw that Islam has for female liberals and male conservatives here in the US.

    Does this make anyone else think of the lyrics to this song?

    Some of them want to use you.

    I saw no actual numbers, in this FOX article.
    What is "amazing," is that you would take something done by a relative few women, to be indicative of progressives, generally. There are around 330 million people in this country. There will always be a good number, doing things that will appear silly, stupid, childish, crazy, hateful, and any other derogatory adjective you want to name. At any given time, the odds are probably good that somewhere, a conservative is having sex with an animal. Does that mean, this represents conservative behavior?

    It is actually your taking this story seriously, which is the silliness, here;
    *anyone who would choose their religion, based upon the starting of a war, elsewhere in the world, would appear to have a foundation of sand beneath herself, in this undertaking, and will be just as easily persuaded to leave their new religion-- when it isn't as trendy, or when it requires a greater commitment, than posting a video blog, on TikTok.

    Well, this fits with what I've been saying for years- progressivism is in part about casting off the emotional chains of freedom. Some people would rather be able to blame others for failing than have a chance to succeed and risk being responsible for failing on their own. I hope being property makes them happier.

    ...and they might be on to something. If they are subordinate to someone who doesn't let them implement their terrible ideas, maybe they REALLY WILL be happier.

    Tho, I suspect this might be more about wanting to join the group with the most percieved victimhood than anything else. Thats the first step in fake martyr LARPing.

    Hirsi Ali from the article:

    "I think that's a manifestation of the moral dislocation of the West that we're going through," Ali said. "I think we've failed these young people… Campuses are politicized. They use the word hate this and safe to death, but it's really the introduction of a political ideology that is anti-Western. It's anti-American. It's all about tearing things down."

    "Progressive" Nihilism.

    Unable to find meaning in the "progressive" Cult of Fiasco they go looking for it in the cult of Muhammad, so they jump from one authoritarian, anti-Individualist ideology that tells you what to think to another. Not much of a leap, really.

    Women are always on the leading edge of revolution. This will be considered misogynistic in todays world.......maybe I'm and "old soul" living in a "new world" but I believe it is time for men to stop cowering in this matriotic culture we have developed. Women are lost. They have all the rights they can imagine but apparently they are experiencing a void. They are just experimenting. They experiment with same sex relations. Now they experiment with Islam. How mixed up is that? Mothers have been experimenting with drugs to emasculate their sons for decades now. Ritalin calms them down and Lupron castrates them. This transition into the "Amazon World" has not made them happy. Perhaps someday they'll abandon all these experiments and crave a return to "Toxic Masculinity"!

    BTW, this story is complete BS. There is no way Fox news or anybody else would know who is actually converting. Here is another over blown conspiracy, where RWers once again fall for the bait.
