    Um, do the rainbow colors signify lesbian burqua wearers? Whether they do or not, aren’t bright colors haram?

    Well, why do you have to be Muslim to wear one? Haram, schmaram, I’ll wear what I want.

    I take it those are men standing up for the right of men to claim “woman” as their “gender identity.”

    Never mind actual women, lesbian and gay people, freethinkers and secularists within Islamic cultures. As soon as anyone can pronounce their own gender identity, and everyone else is forced to validate it, we’ll all be free.

    Sarcastic performance art is my first guess.

    This wouldn’t be yet another case of centring ones own needs and priorities by cultural appropriation and belittlement of another groups would it? Surely not.

    Nah, I’m pretty sure harems are kosher.

    Well, ‘burqa bans’ put Muslim women on the spot, between their families enforcing ‘modesty’ with death threats, and the state resisting Islamism by putting them on the spot.

    An article:

    It appears to be a group containing at least one man, possibly all men. It is in protest of the face-covering ban in the Netherlands. It took place during Pride events, hence all the Pride and rainbow references.
