Let's talk about Muslim male privilege

[Calmone20]

Muslim men have the privilege of not facing anti muslim bigotry. No anti muslim bigot will look at a muslim guy and tell he's muslim. Plus,if bigots see a visibly muslim guy they won't attack him. Yet, muslim men have the audacity to call muslim women horrible names for taking off the hijab after facing terrible anti muslim hatred.

That’s what a mahram is for.

True. At the same time the hijab is probably one of the biggest forms of symbolism for Muslims in the west. Taking it off means that you're giving in to outward pressure which is not what Islam teaches us. I can see your point of view but Allah creates hardship for us in different ways. Muslim men could be more understanding about it but Muslims are pretty judgy in general

Meh. I'm less cat called when I'm walking beside my huge beefy brother but some idiots will still try their luck

we live in a society where it’s a “privilege” to not be harassed and assaulted for your deen.

Do you hear yourself man?

I agree with your last part but you shouldn’t be throwing around the word “privilege” like that. Makes it seem like muslim men should also be harassed and assaulted and that it’s unfair that they’re not.

Imagine being in full jilbab with indhoshareer and STILL being cat called

pure animals

Alot of you new age muslims just keep telling on y'all selfs with these bad takes.

"A kaffir call me a bad name, so i have to take off the hijab"....what kinda logic is this? imagine telling the first muslims who were killed in mecca and fought for the deen, that in future so called muslims were taking off the hijab because some random kaffir said something bad that hurt their feelings....what a shame.

This clearly shows why the ummah is such a bad state. the weakness and willingness to roll over so easily.

Whats next? "This kaffir said i had no body and had to cover up with abaya, so now to prove him wrong i am showing off my halfnaked body on instagram.....uhhh, i wish they didn't bully me to do this"

No amount of jilbab or indhoshareer can hide it if she got curves

I pray that God ease the pain of my fellow sisters I rather they insult you than to hurt you physically.

The worst islamphobic moment i faced was the time I came in class early, soaking wet, I had my backpack first then my rain coat over my backpack to protect against the rain, when I got in class my teacher said to me: “ X do you have a bomb under you? your 72 virgins can wait after my class is done”.

Why are you trying to start a gender war lol if a Muslim woman is faced with islamaphobia don’t you think her brother/father would have an issue with it too. I don’t know why people like you have to be so divisive.
