Why is it Islamophobia to point out that he wouldn't be imposing a niqab mandate if that's not an imposition he poses on his own wife?

How is it Islamophobic to point out that there’s no conspiracy to make women dress a certain way against their will? This is encroaching on friend who’s too woke territory

It’s Islamaphobic go point out his wife doesn’t wear a head covering.

A lot of ppl seem to be having a hard time understanding this and idk why. By countering with those types of posts they’re giving credibility to the underlying argument instead of rejecting it at the premise.

Zohran Mamdani being close to women who don't wear a hijab is a good rebuttal to the idea that he's going to force all women to wear a hijab and it would be weird and bad if he were never seen hanging with women who don't wear hijabs

Mamdani & his wife live urban, secular lives. Ppl are pointing that out to debunk fascist propaganda that claims Mamdani will impose religious law. Is secularism Islamophobic? Because if saying someone doesn’t want a theocracy is offensive, I’m starting to think you do want one.

that wasn't the argument and to equate to that is disingenuous. someone said he will have women covered head to toe and someone said his wife isn't covered head to toe. that is a counter argument.

i dont get it, a woman not wearing a hijab is islamaphobic?

The niqab is a Jewish garment; neither the Arabs nor the Muslims originally knew it. The Ottomans adopted it from them, and afterward, it spread among Muslims.

Is being against misogyny not a core tenant of the left anymore?

Replying to @levantinewitch
strange thing that happens on the left where we have to pretend that islam is still not broadly reactionary for some reason? yeah ppl shouldn't discriminate against you bc you're brown but are we gonna pretend like the concept of a niqab is not inherently regressive

Good: Criticism of religion and ideology Bad: Prejudice and stereotypes against people based on their heritage.
