The Hijab did not originate from Islam nor are they oppressive when women have the freedom to choose when they wear one.

I'm being not normal about religion again (specifically orthodox christianity). Living in a culturally and now politiclally religious country is hell.

I don't want you praying for me, it makes me uncomfortable. If you're going to do it anyway do NOT inform me about it just to make yourself feel righteous.

No, it wasn't god who saved my cat. It were the doctors and my family who gave her shots for two weeks straight and skipped work and school to feed her every hour. No, it wasn't god who helped me find a necklace precious to me, it was me combing through every bush looking for it for an hour.

No, I won't be going to church and saying "Praise Jesus" on Easter. I don't believe in him. And the last time I went to church as a child elderly women trampled me trying to get to kiss the rotting corpse of an old guy.

I don't want a priest giving speeches at our places of study and work. I don't want a priest spraying holy water in my home. I don't want the faces of saints to stare at me from the walls.

I live here too. Please. I live here too.

i might tweak her final design but here are some concepts. Matriarch of Clan Farvo everyone

Idk why girls would ever argue online with Muslim dudes being hypercritical of hijabi online presence. imo, hijabi women are basically the only* modern inheritors of (diluted) Muslim warrior tradition. The kind of tradition that asserts (some) power** in a hegemony that is not built for you to do that. You’re going to let a self-castrated man’s basement opinions bother you? “He’s giving Islam a negative reputation” umm yeah. In Instagram comments. Meanwhile you’re out there actually embodying your faith in your ideology. Even imperfect hijab gets that point across. People see you and know this about you. Once again. A man who has no power and refuses to take power. Is an object of pity for me, at best for them—because mostly? I don’t even waste energy formulating the opinion. Probably because I’m so caught up in brainstorming about what it would look like to be less weak than we are. Because we really are, me included.

*I am exaggerating to make a point

**would be remiss to say that I don’t understand the irony in me insisting that wearing a visual symbol of complete subjugation to an ideology should be considered (a type or shade of) power but because it’s so culturally subversive here it’s hard for me not to consider it a power. Also ethically speaking (it’s obvious but it has to be said) I think Total Submission To God is a good thing actually and I would not be surprised if most other hijabi women would agree with me, to put it lightly. The power thing is very weirdly reliant on the circumstances in which you are making decisions. Is there even such thing as total freedom. Much to think about.

You know what would be interesting? Listen I don't know everything about tes lore, I've only played skyrim. But I've heard of veiling as a concept in some practices, and while I don't do this myself, from what I understand some people use various head covers to protect their spiritual energy? Connecting this to quite a few mages and priests in skyrim are hooded, what if on Nirn mages cover their head/hair because it dampens their magical presence? Mmm hard to explain but many thoughts.

He killed a literal baby. And now he wants to sue the state for damages?!

By Anna Slatz February 14, 2024

A trans-identified male currently serving a 55-year sentence for the murder of his infant stepdaughter has launched a lawsuit against the Chaplain at his prison after he was allegedly denied a hijab despite identifying as a Muslim woman. Autumn Cordellioné, previously known as Jonathan C. Richardson, is seeking $150,000 in damages.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Cordellioné was first arrested in 2001 after his 11-month-old stepdaughter died in his care while her mother was at work. The night of the infant’s death, Cordellioné had been visited by friends who later told police that he had been “acting strangely.”

Despite claiming the little girl was inside sleeping, Cordellioné had loud music playing in the home, and his guests noted that he appeared to have a fresh, bleeding tattoo of the child’s name carved into his arm.

Later that night, after his friends left, Cordellioné went to his neighbor and asked him to call 911, claiming the child was unresponsive. When emergency personnel arrived, they were briefly able to resuscitate the girl, but she died shortly after being rushed to the hospital. 

Cordellioné was interviewed by police, who noted he was “calm and unemotional” during questioning, and his story about what happened to the baby changed dramatically over the course of the two interviews conducted.

At first, Cordellioné claimed he found the baby unresponsive after doing some household chores. But in the next interview, Cordellioné said the child was being “fussier than usual” and he attempted to throw her up in the air repeatedly in an effort to calm her down. He said her “head bopped forward and back up in a rough type of a manner,” and that the child continued to cry so he proceeded to shake her aggressively in an effort to calm her down.

During a failed appeals hearing, detectives from the case recounted how Cordellioné “physically showed” how he had manhandled the girl, getting up out of his chair and demonstrating the action in a rough manner.

An autopsy subsequently found that the baby had died of asphyxiation by manual strangulation. Cordellioné was booked awaiting a court hearing, and would later tell a prison official “all I know is I killed the little fucking bitch.”

Cordellioné was found guilty and sentenced to 55 years in prison for the horrific crime. He is currently incarcerated at the Branchville Correctional Facility, an institution for male offenders.

Last August, Cordellioné joined forces with the American Civil Liberties Union to sue the Indiana Department of Corrections, citing “discrimination” on the basis of his gender identity. That case is currently in progress.

But Reduxx has now learned that that Cordellioné has also launched a separate suit against the prison’s Chaplain, Tony Gray. Gray has been a Chaplain at the facility since 2014, and volunteered at the institution prior to being offered an official role.

In the lawsuit, filed on November 3, 2023, Cordellioné accuses Gray of violating his First, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment constitutional rights.

According to court records obtained by Reduxx, the incident of complaint took place in May of 2023 after Gray informed Cordellioné that he was not allowed to don a hijab outside of his cell. In response, Cordellioné said: “I wear the hijab in order to cover my head and ears for modesty purposes, as I am an Islamic practicing transwoman.”

At the time, Cordellioné’s registered religion was “Wiccan” and Gray pointed that out, to which Cordellioné replied that he was an “eclectic practitioner who is a member of the Theosophical Society in America.”

The Theosophical Society is headquartered in Chennai, India, and is considered an “esoteric new religious movement.” Founded in 1875, it describes itself as a “unsectarian body of seekers after Truth,” and its practitioners appear to dabble in the philosophy and beliefs of multiple religions simultaneously. One of its founders is Russian mystic Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who stated in 1889 that “the purpose of establishing the Society was to prepare humanity for the reception of a World Teacher.”

Cordellioné is claiming that his equal protection rights were violated when he was barred from wearing a hijab outside of his cell, noting that male Muslims in the facility are allowed to wear kufis or taqiyah — a short, rounded brimless prayer cap.

“Islamic faith mandates the wearing of a kufi for males … Islamic faith also mandates females of the faith wear hijabs when outside the home and when not amongst men of their family. Tony Gray allows male Muslims to wear their sufis, but denies me, a transwoman, the same privilege.”

From the legal complaint filed by Cordellioné.

Cordellioné also alleges that Gray’s refusal to allow him to wear a hijab violated his eighth amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment. In his argument, Cordellioné claims the he was subjected to “harassment and ridicule” by the Islamic community in his prison because he had not been allowed to wear a hijab.

“[Gray] should be aware, as Chaplain, the stigma and shame that is attributed to Islamic women when they go uncovered and without a hijab,” Cordellioné writes in his complaint. “Women are viewed as whores, tempters of men, and adulterators; by Islamic society both in and out of prison. I have been shunned, made a social pariah, and amongst my own religious community.”

He continues: “Without the support of the Islamic community, I will struggle and likely fail to achieve salvation for by [sic] Mohammed’s teachings a Muslim who knows of the teachings, yet strays from them, will never reach heaven.”

In his stated request for relief, Cordellioné is seeking the ability to wear his hijab in prison, as well as $150,000 in compensation.

Since filing, there has been some back-and-forth with the court surrounding Cordellioné’s financial situation, with the court requesting a nominal initial filing fee of $36.55, but Cordellioné claiming he does not have the money to pay it. If he cannot demonstrate deficiency in the time the court has specified, his case might be dismissed.

My digital remake of a piece by Matthew Cook (MatthewCook15 on twitter) original piece under the cut

[phaeroh]

I do what I do best, hopping in a bandwagon and then leave without a word

MFB OCs, left side is Viera and right side is Theresa. More info later if I feel like doing it. But if there's something that I can say is that Viera is a blader and Theresa is a bey mechanic.

[choropilled]

very difficult to figure out what i want to do w cypress and zarah religion wise but like .. they do both have very Muslim behaviors. regardless of the end result. its very no substances keeping halal except for certain things. they both keep track of the islamic date + certain days, sometimes fast. habitual arabic phrase users.

[quillpokebiology]

To religious or spiritual Rotomblr users: What legendary being do you worship? Are there any special practices you do? I was never super religious or super spiritual, and I wanna learn more.

[peachiyyy]

non-muslim people get so mad when they see muslim women willingly practice modesty it’s so funny. Why does it anger you so much if it’s not personally affecting you in any way

[b0rtney]

[aintnopartylikeaprideparty]

I'm literally so disappointed in y'all (/lh) I haven't seen a SINGLE hijab Red Guy cosplay its literally laid out for u on a silver platter CMON

[kvtnisseverdeen]

after 9/11, my mom had her hijab ripped off her head. muslim-american communities were shattered due to the american government suspecting every muslim in america of terrorism and subjecting them to interviews and even deportation. i was in school afraid to embrace my religion because islam was being equated to terrorism. i was bullied for being a muslim and constantly called a terrorist. and let's not forget the millions of muslims that were killed and displaced because of the war on terror. MILLIONS.

it took years for muslims to feel "normal" again. of course, we still felt the uncomfortable stares and the subtle islamophobia. but it was so subtle. we almost forgot it was there.

and now, we're back to straight-forward, blatant islamophobia:

a 6-year-old muslim palestinian boy was stabbed 26 times

rashida tlaib is being censured and her colleague openly said 'all of them’ when a democrat asked how many dead palestinians will be enough?

van jones said to take a stand against muslims at a pro-israel rally

there were 1,283 reports of anti-arab and anti-muslim bias since oct 7 which is a 216% percent increase from last year

pro palestinian protestors are being called terrorists and terrorist-supporters

celebrities like amy schumer, brett gelman, karlie kloss, noah schnapp + more are spreading lies and propoganda against muslims

this is why its so frustrating to me when celebs like noah schnapp and amy schumer are sitting in there million dollar penthouses saying they're "scared." no, you have nothing to be afraid of. the world governments are clearly standing with YOU and protecting YOU. muslim women wearing a hijab are scared. muslim mothers and fathers are scared. muslims that can't openly practice their faith are scared.

muslims have been suffering in their own countries AND in america. we've always been afraid. how can we not when a muslim child was stabbed 26 times, simply because he was muslim? how can we not when people are asking to take a stand against muslims? how can we not when a genocide is happening and no one is doing anything to stop it?
