I’ve worn the hijab since I was 6
Wearing or taking is a choice that comes with so much critique and venom under the guise of “dawah” from the community
There is no choice like that a man has to make that will risk how an entire community views him
@Khairhenn@knoxianjv@L99995765L@yemenianextdoor Literally what is the point in pretending to care about misogyny when you’re supportive of women being called misogynistic slurs the moment their opinions differ from yours
The reason you see all these hypocrite non hijabis saying this, is bc it’s a massive cope and overcompensation. They’re trying to show that they’re good Muslims in every way EXCEPT wearing a hijab. The reason they don’t wear it is the same exact reason other girls take it off.
This is so heartbreaking; He's just a kid. The pain in his voice is evident.
This is institutional racism in action.
Daryl McLune, 16 at the time, was arrested in Wandsworth in July 2021 on suspicion of attempted murder after his mum, Annette McLune, jumped from the roof of their flat in a suicide attempt.
He'd been at his grandma's and cycled home to find his mum critically injured. He was then handcuffed in the street and held for nearly 24 hours, despite not being involved.
Police later found a suicide note and razor blades showing it was self-harm, and he was released without charge. The experience left him with PTSD and affected his schooling.
He later sued the Met Police, and a jury found he was racially discriminated against and treated less fairly than a non-Black boy would have been, awarding him £130,000.
His barrister said it wasn't careful policing, it was a child in crisis being wrongly treated as a suspect, and that discrimination can be unconscious.
