‘Niqabitches’ protest Burka Ban
21 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone in Angels, France, Politics, Very Cool, Vibe
Two French students, calling themselves the ‘Niqabitches,’ have posted a video of themselves strolling through Paris wearing the niqab with hot pants and high heels, in protest of France’s recent burka ban. They seem like very nice young ladies.
The anonymous duo – one of whom is a Muslim – have described the protest as follows;
“To put a simple burka on would have been too simple. So we asked ourselves: ‘how would the authorities react when faced with women wearing a burka and mini-shorts?
We were not looking to attack or degrade the image of Muslim fundamentalists – each to their own – but rather to question politicians who voted for this law that we consider clearly unconstitutional.”The video has about 77,000 hits so far. Go and add a few more – tell yourself it’s for the political value.
Lovely vibe, ladies.
