Demonstration against Let Women Speak Oxford

[IwantToRetire]

A demonstration organised by the campaign group Let Women Speak (LWS) took place today at Bonn Square. Around 100 counterprotestors also assembled, including members from the Oxford Green Party, Stand Up to Racism, and Oxford for Trans Rights (O4TR).

I'd assume he was there in order to show that he as a Muslim supports LGBTQI+ rights, and specifically the rights of the LGBTQI+ community in Oxford.

And to show that these views aren't necessarily incompatible with belief in the Koran as a holy book.

Tbh I dislike evangelism full stop, but when I walk past preachers on Cornmarket in Oxford shouting about how I'm going to burn in the fires of hell, it's refreshing to see Dr Ramzy there as well with his free copies of the Koran (Qu'ran I should probably say) and his umbrella blazoned with the slogan 'God Is Gorgeous'. 😂

He's a familiar figure around Oxford. My DC studied RE at school and we have one of his free copies of the Qu'ran still lying around our house.

I think they were bailing him out to avoid bankruptcy as that would have made him ineligible for his position and triggered a bye election

So I fundamentally disagree and apply my reservations to myself as much as others. New citizens are very welcome- my DiL to be will eventually be one. She’ll never be English in the way my son is, just as he will never be Chinese.

All the LWS events are available to view on KJKs YouTube channel so people can watch them and make their own mind up

Sorry but that's super disingenuous. Of course 'Let Women Speak' has a specific agenda to promote beyond just letting women speak. Just as most of the feminist threads on MN have a specific agenda to promote. It's an anti-trans, anti-queer, anti-non-binary agenda. It's an agenda that involves promoting the voices of certain women at the expense of others.

By that logic, every speaker is personally responsible for anyone who gets arrested at any demonstration.

I can't wait to see that being tested in court.

I'd assume he was there in order to show that he as a Muslim supports LGBTQI+ rights, and specifically the rights of the LGBTQI+ community in Oxford.

That's just flat out hysterical, there is no muslim country that supports same sex attraction and he wouldn't last 5 minutes in anyone of them if he showed support for them.

Thank you for making your views so clear. You do realise how many people you've just insulted, don't you? Or maybe that's the whole point of your posting on this issue?

@cowleycyclist I'd assume he was there in order to show that he as a Muslim supports LGBTQI+ rights, and specifically the rights of the LGBTQI+ community in Oxford.

If so, then he made a choice to support TQI+ 'rights' over women's rights to want to protect their spaces and speak about issues that affect them.

Hi Chris. How do you feel about the counter-protest being organised by the rape enablers of the SWP? Do you think that's a good look for your side?

Any woman can speak at an LWS event. They can just turn up and speak. There's no pre vetting

OK, that's brilliant that you're happy to welcome new citizens.

But when you say about your region after 25 years, 'It isn’t ours. We aren’t locals', I emphatically disagree. How many decades of your life do you have to spend in a place before you consider it yours?

To me, if you are settled in a place, living and working there, bringing up your children there, walking down its streets and loving and hurting and struggling there, in short just making a life there: it absolutely is yours.

You may choose not to see it as yours but it wrong of you to impose that view on everyone else who has not lived there for generations. At what point are you going to draw the line? Before or after the Norman Conquest?

Sorry but to me these distinctions are absurd.

You do know that gay Muslims exist, right? Or is this news to you?

My DC studied RE at school and we have one of his free copies of the Qu'ran still lying around our house.

Careful, there are some countries where statements like this would be classified as desecration.

Having a different point of view to you is insulting you?

Like the ones forced to ‘transition’ in Iran?

You may choose not to see it as yours but it wrong of you to impose that view on everyone else who has not lived there for generations.

That is fine, but just be absolutely certain in your head that you would apply it equally to any group of people living in any part of any country anywhere in the world

This is why I'll never support her or any event linked to her ever again.

I'm sure others feel the same.

Just as most of the feminist threads on MN have a specific agenda to promote. It's an anti-trans, anti-queer, anti-non-binary agenda.

It is amazing how many things women’s rights are ‘anti’

She didn't turn up to support a Little Timmy Robertson event. With constant false claims like that, so easily debunked, it's as if you're not even trying.

And no, his lot can get stuffed.

Gosh, the anti-Muslim sentiment just goes on, doesn't it. FYI there is a spectrum of Islamic belief. My Muslim friends who live next door have virtually nothing in common with the Taliban, just as my local C of E vicar has virtually nothing in common with evangelical Christian fundamentalists.

Wishing everyone a peaceful evening, I have to be off now.

I don't know how we can be accused of being anti- concepts that no-one can even explain.

Yeah, I mean Denmark is scarcely different to Afghanistan, is it?

And you know they kill you for being a same sex attracted person in a Muslim country, for example in Iran

Not sure what confuses you. She attended, very publicly, Yaxley Lennons march in London with a union jack around her shoulders. Now the flag shaggers are attending her LWS events.
Why that makes you think I don't support women's rights is beyond me. I'm very much GC, I don't like or dislike Kjk.
