[quote]FEMEN strikes again: Topless protesters staged demonstrations near mosques and Tunisian embassies across Europe on Thursday to express support for embattled FEMEN activist [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/25/amina-tyler-femen_n_2949376.html#slide=2142739]Amina Tyler.[/url]
"We're free, we're naked, it's our right, it's our body, it's our rules, and nobody can use religion, and some other holy things, to abuse women, to oppress them," FEMEN member Alexandra Shevchenko said in Berlin, according to AFP.
"And we'll fight against them. And our boobs will be stronger than their stones," she added.
Tunisian student Amina Tyler sparked a massive controversy in mid-March by posting topless photos of herself on Facebook, with the slogans "-blam!- Your Morals" and "My Body Belongs To Me, And Is Not The Source Of Anyone’s Honor," painted on her body. [/quote]
You might notice that the linked article is different than the quoted one. That's because I liked the wording of the Huffington Post's article better than the Global Post's, but the latter is safe for work.
This seems like the sort of protest where you would want to be careful to make sure that you're only attacking radical Muslims. I think some of the activists' statements start straying dangerously close to "ground zero mosque" type bullshit. Other than that, I think this protest is fairly compelling. Also, there's titties.
