The Arutz Sheva, Israel:
Three members of the French feminist group FEMEN burned an Islamic flag this week outside the Grand Mosque of Paris. The flag-burning was carried out as a protest of oppression of women in the Muslim world.
A Tunisian activist set fire to the flag, on which was written the declaration of Islamic faith, “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is His messenger.”
She and two other Arab women who took part in the flag-burning were shirtless during the event. The women wrote slogans on their torsos including “Arab women against Islamism” and “Freedom.”
The protest was one of several to take place across Europe following a Muslim preacher’s call to kill Tunisian woman Amina Tyler, a FEMEN activist, for having shared naked pictures of herself on Facebook.
Tyler put up pictures of her naked body with the words, “My body belongs to me” written on it in Arabic. She could face prison if it is proved that she posted the pictures while in Tunisia.
Salafi preacher Adel Almi said Tyler should be lashed under Islamic law, but that her case calls for a harsher punishment – death – “because what she did is an epidemic.”
FEMEN responded by condemning Almi and calling, “Long live the topless jihad against infidels.” The group declared Thursday, April 4, “International Topless Jihad Day,” and topless women protested outside mosques and Tunisian embassies in several countries.

Calling these women as Arab women does not mean they are Muslim women.
Amina Taylor is admitted in a psychiatric hospital for her insane acts.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon. Everything has got its limits in this civilized world. My liberty ends where other’s start. Islam teaches decency, if someone is against decency, we are no more to force him back to the same.
Amina Taylor is under treatment in a hospital, we hope she will recover soon. We wish her a good health.
There is NO such entity as an Islamic Flag.
Just shows what an oppressive and backwark religion Islam is. The world would be a better place if there was no religion at all.
John,
In today’s society, religion plays second fiddle. Anyone who adheres to GOD is seen as a heretic and mocked. Christianity doesn’t allow women to have possessions, they are the possession of men. Whereas Islam has given rights to women to divorce and the rights to monetary settlements. This is the law of the bible.
We the people, rule this world with no conscience towards religion. So in fact there is no religion that matters today, pertaining to how we rule the world.. Laws are bent and changed to accommodate the so called free will of the people. So be it. As history shows when the world has denounced GOD and gone down their own path as if humans were in control of the universe, There is always a cleansing period.
This begs the question,
Why are you so upset about religion? It does not rule you today. Christians don’t follow their religion at all, neither do Jews or Muslims.
What are you complaining about? Do you honestly feel that religion has any bearing on how you move or live in the western world? Are you not free to do as you please? Why are you so bothered about it?
Live your life as a free human being with no laws or obligations? Or can you not accomplish that either in the non religious and sectarian society that we live in today?
If there were no religion would we still have problems with race or any other issues that we conjure up with our limitless brains? After all even atheists have hatred amongst themselves.
There is no hiding place from the father of creation. Whether you believe it or not.
