It means “he and his critics”.

These days, wherever politicians and artists go, or important ceremonies are being held.٬

It is possible that some women suddenly appear completely naked and scream continuously until security forces are able to arrest and transfer them. An action that is interpreted as defending women’s rights. Now a group of Muslim women…٬

They are organizing a movement against this type of protest.

A veiled woman, with her face covered by a veil, holds a paper in her hand with the words written on it: “If you take away my right to wear, you are oppressing me.” In another photo, a young woman is seen holding a sign that reads: “I can defend women’s rights with my clothes.”

Images like this have been widely found on YouTube in the past few days. On one of these pages, some Muslim women from different countries are reacting to the protesters of Femen (femen.org). This is a protest against the protest, according to their own interpretation, against the homogenization of all Muslim women under the flag of the Femen group.

The Femen group, with its controversial and provocative protests, attracts more and more supporters from all over the world every day. Although these protests started in Ukraine, they have now spread to different parts of the world. They clash with anyone, from Paris Hilton to football players, and today, more than anyone, with Islam.

He was born on April 11, 2008 in Kiev, Ukraine and began his protests. The founder of this group, Anna Hostel, is 28 years old and has brought his group’s protests to the Iranian embassy. Naked women at the embassy who are being pushed out by employees and eager reporters who broadcast their voices to the world…

Criticism of Femen in Ukraine increased significantly when they broke a memorial cross for the victims of Stalin’s crimes during one of their protests. A group of Muslim feminists living in Washington also criticize Femen, believing that the group judges Muslims in a racist and anti-Islamic manner. The protest of these Muslim women intensified after one of the founders of Femen, Inna Shevchenko, declared her support for Amina Tyler’s “International Topless Jihad Day”. Amina Tyler is a 19-year-old girl and one of the founders of Femen in Tunisia. In early March, Amina posted a naked photo of herself on Facebook with Arabic writing on her chest that read “Curse your morals.” The protest did not go unnoticed. Her page was hacked and a cleric requested that she be whipped or stoned.

Since then, the Femen group has been publishing new photos of women on Facebook every day, with slogans against Islam and in support of Amina’s freedom written on their bodies.

Since Aminah was arrested, many cries have gone up to the sky, but not all of them belong to Femen. A Facebook group called Muslim Women against Femen has been formed, with over 4500 members. In some cities, women wear headscarves and protest against Femen. They give speeches to Shukhov and his supporters, stating that there are different ideas about freedom and justice. However, Shukhov continues to push for his goal.
