BADASS Muslimahs

I've had enough of the sensationalist, exoticised, demeaning portrayals of Muslim women seen all throughout the media, and this is my way of countering all the nonsense.

This is not an attempt at 'breaking stereotypes' or trying to enlighten people, if you're ignorant enough to believe that Muslim women are oppressed and subjugated by Islam then that's your own problem.

This is my way of giving recognition to all the women who inspire me, and hopefully sending out some positive vibes.

Peace.

“The queen of girls”
(literally it says “six girls” but colloquially it means the queen/best of girls and it’s a reference to the “blue-bra girl” who was assaulted by Egyptian military police in Tahrir several months ago)
Found in ‘Abdeen, downtown Cairo, near Tahrir Square
