@SaraSoueidan: Dear men, This is how you greet a veiled Muslim woman (a Hijabi). Hand on your chest, not offering to shake hers. 🙋

I did not know this. Is it OK for a non Muslim woman to shake hands with a Hijabi? Or do we do the hand on chest thing too?@popcanpoli
hey so i don’t wear a hijab and i’m not muslim so i definitely don’t have the authority to answer this question (or any other questions i’ve been getting abt this) (i’m just a lil canadian politics blog i didn’t expect this to blow up lol)
BUT here are some tweets by the original tweeter (who wears a hijab) that clarify some things

I have never seen Islam shown so humanized, so relaxed, so innocent and pure. That’s brilliant and funny.
No harm to any religion. It’s just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, it’s funny!
I’m going to cry 😂😂
Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden. But they didn’t want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.
Very smart move there advertising script writers.
I WAS REALLY FUCKING CONFUSED ON WERE THE “LAMPS” WOULD COME IN
Are we gonna talk about how Star Wars is a religion in this
my utopia
what’s really baffling to me about this is framing the existence of Islam and drag queens as if they’re some kind of hypothetical and not, you know, our current present actual reality
A future where we are not oppressed and invisible under the thumb of those in power under the threat of normalized violence against our persons? Yeah what a horrorshow.
Could y’all stop with this whole just shower thoughts? They posted islamophobic bullshit. I don’t want to see this blog on my dash at anytime. FFS.
Here are just a few examples of their bigotry, they shit on everything including Islam, nonbinary genders, trans identity and Folks sooo. (I mean, they take their shit from reddit so what you expect?) If you still decide to reblog shit from this blog you are an asshole.
If I’m not mistaken they’ve had other transmisogynist posts and a few ableist ones as well, but I don’t have sources and could be confusing them.
They’ve also been antisemitic. Not surprised this has turned into Bigot Bingo with them.
lets not forget this bullshit, either:
[screenshot of the just-shower-thoughts blog. the post reads “Someone should start a “Black Wives Matter” movement to get black guys to stay with their families“ ]
please blacklist this blog. theyre really gross, and haven’t addressed anything they’ve said once.
Okay, blocking and blacklisting Shower Thoughts.
Wow. Didn’t know that.
Didn’t know. Unfollowed.

The Left: No Muslim should be blamed, held accountable, or be forced to apologize for Daesh, Al Queda or any other terrorist group
Me: Hell yeah! Totally with y'all!
Also The Left: All Jews must instantly and vocally denounce Israel every 3.26 seconds or they are secret Mossad Cointelpro Zionists and none of those icky Jewish symbols at our marches because all Judaism Zionism makes us uncomfortable

Eyooo I'm an astrophysics student in the U.K.!!! everything hurts my brain! Also I just wanted to say so many people clump religion under how Christianity treated scientific research but they fail to recall the Islamic golden age, literally massive libraries containing scientific knowledge and this open approach to scientific ideas, as a Muslim, if really impacted my decisions of going into the science field. And a lot of people don't know that European science was based off of Islamic science
Yes! The ‘dark ages’ is a purely European term. During the European dark ages, eastern society, especially middle eastern societies, were making incredible strides in the sciences. Most of what we consider ‘European discoveries’ in astronomy actually come from middle eastern or Chinese discoveries.
