Confronting Cultural Jihad: French Female Conservatives Fight Back Against Fashion Magazine’s Islamization and Sharia Glorification (Video)

Paris, France – In a bold response to the recent front-page feature of Dazed, a left-wing fashion magazine promoting sharia clothing, the Némésis collective, a group of French female conservative activists, has voiced its strong opposition. The collective critiques the insidious Islamization of Western culture and values, a sentiment echoed by many.

The Controversial Dazed Article

The article in question showcased three sharia-adherent female Muslims linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, defying France’s ban on the abaya in schools and sports. The piece framed the wearing of the full sharia hijab as a form of resistance, a portrayal that Némésis and their supporters staunchly oppose. They argue that this narrative dangerously misrepresents and romanticizes symbols of oppression under Islamic law.

Némésis Collective’s Counter-Photo

In response, the Némésis collective organized a photo shoot featuring three French women, each adorned in the national colors of France, symbolizing their love and respect for French culture and values. This move was intended to juxtapose their vision of French femininity and freedom against the backdrop of the Dazed feature, which glorifies a tool of submission under sharia law.

Quranic Context: A Stark Contrast to Western Freedoms

In Islam, the religious requirement is for a woman to cover all but her face and hands. Failure to do so exposes her to potential abuse. Quran 24:31 unequivocally commands women to cover themselves extensively, ostensibly to diminish their capacity to provoke temptation and to obscure their ‘adornments.’ Even more disturbingly, Quran 33:59 implies that if a woman fails to entirely cover herself completely, she is fair game to be sexually abused. These verses, conveniently overlooked by left-leaning ideologies, reveal a stark and unsettling truth. They not only underscore the repressive elements of Islamic religious doctrine but also highlight a grave threat to women’s safety. In stark contrast to Western societies, where women’s rights and freedoms are celebrated, these Islamic cultural norms and the portrayal of Islamic attire stand in blatant opposition, revealing an irreconcilable clash with the values of freedom and equality championed in the West.

The Islamization Debate

The Némésis collective and its supporters argue that Western media and fashion magazines are actively participating in a covert cultural jihad, aiming to undermine and Islamize Western culture from its very core. Statements from influential Islamic figures like Jamal Badawi of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) assert that the hijab is not merely a choice but a command of Allah and a responsibility for the state to enforce, is seen as a direct threat to the foundational values of Western society. This stance exemplifies a dangerous endorsement of sharia law over Western principles of freedom and equality, highlighting a disturbing trend of capitulation within Western institutions to these ideologies.

Further intensifying the debate, Islamic scholar Dr. Bill Warner offers a critical perspective, stating, “Most people see the hijab as religious or cultural, but the hijab is a symbol of the Sharia and has a very political meaning.” Warner’s viewpoint suggests that in Western contexts, the hijab transcends modesty or fashion, becoming instead a symbol of commitment to Sharia and a marker of ideological allegiance.

Criticisms of Western Media and Retailers

The Némésis collective and their supporters accuse these media outlets and retailers of misleading the public by marketing Sharia clothing under the guise of promoting modesty. They contend that this not only misleads non-Muslim consumers but also aids in the broader goal of Islamizing the West.

Mathieu Bock-Côté’s Commentary

Adding to the discourse, Canadian commentator Mathieu Bock-Côté, now based in Paris, criticized the political labeling of those defending French culture and values as ‘far-right.’ He emphasized the Némésis collective’s efforts to uphold the rights of women in areas affected by Islamization and challenged the mainstream portrayal of their actions as “radical “or “ultra-right.”

Conclusion: A Call to Preserve Western Civilization

The Némésis collective’s campaign against the portrayal of Islamic attire in Western media is more than a fashion critique; it is a call to action. They are urging a reevaluation of the left-wing narratives promoted in the media and are advocating for the preservation of Western civilization, the rule of law, and equality, which they believe are under threat by a growing acceptance of Islamic norms and law in the West.

The acceptance of Islamic norms by Western governments and corporations only empowers those within Islamic societies who seek to undermine and cancel Western laws and liberties. Across Europe, Islamic patrols exist in areas with large Muslim populations to harass people who participate in activities and dress that are “non-Islamic.” There are also countless instances (See here and here) of Islamic girls being murdered by their families or husbands for refusing to wear the hijab or becoming too “Westernized.” It is essential that we do not allow the dangerous spread of Sharia to gain any further foothold in Western societies.
