So singing without hijab gets you whipped?? What kind of twisted logic is that. This is straight out of the dark ages, seriously.

They say it's about modesty but this is just brutalizing women. Sick and tired of men policing our bodies.

Singing isn't a crime. Oppressing women should be. So much hypocrisy it makes me sick.

74 lashes for a concert?? I'm literally shaking. How do people live under such fear every day?

As a Muslim woman, this makes me furious. Our deen teaches forgiveness and compassion, not this barbarity.

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. And some will still find a way to defend this.
