omg I come on the tl for memes and I see people riding for Mia Khalifa and saying she isn’t islamophobic, as in the same Mia Khalifa who has a Christian Forces tattoo, as in the same armed forces who were allied with the IDF and led the Sabra and Shatila Massacre

this is why I don’t like seeing ex-muslims get involved in Islam-focused conversations because their latent islamophobia gives way to violent solidarity with groups like this. I actually can’t believe what I’m seeing

if u don’t know what the Sabra and Shatila
Massacre is, Lebanese Christian forces entered a Palestinian refugee camp, protected by the IDF, and went on a 2 day killing spree. nobody even knows what the real number of deaths are

Her decision to participate in hijabi porn was a natural culmination of her disgust and hatred for Muslims. to remove the intentionality of her act is to absolve her of her islamophobia without her even directly acknowledging it let alone atoning for it

Also! her surname is Callista not Khalifa. She went out of her way to adopt Khalifa (Caliphate) at the same time as IS were gradually gaining ground in Syria and Iraq (2014/15). she purposefully fashioned herself as a caricature of a Muslim woman. She knew what she was doing

She still defends the scene as satire. This interview as published last week. Her exploitation is addressed but she still SPECIFICALLY and PERSONALLY defends that scene
