As most of you probably know, tomorrow is Punish a Muslim Day, and I’d like to warn my brothers and sisters to be aware of their surroundings and alert in case some idiot decides to pull anything shady on y’all!
To muslim parents! Do NOT send your children to school! Let’s look out for our younger generation, they don’t deserve this hatred!
Some tips for tomorrow if you plan on going out!
1. Again, stay alert. If at a store, or just inside somewhere public in general, keep the nearest exit in sight, just in case. TRY TO GO OUT IN LARGE GROUPS!! TRY TO AVIOD GOING OUT ALONE!!
2. Pepper spray! For most women, this is already something they may have, but it works for anyone. Getting pepper spray in your eyes hurts, and seeing that bigots don’t understand anything but violence, maybe the stinging of their eyes will teach them not to mess with people for “points”.
3. To sisters who wear the hijab, I’d honestly say to try and look around where you’re at, if anything seems shifty to you, keep your guard up. Try to stay, if out running errands, near a cash register if something seems off. Realize that if someone does try and yank off your hijab, you are not obligated to give them Islam 101 on why you wear it. A swift kick to the crotch, or trying to tie the scarf around their neck as a gag works, too. Self defense is important, and disrespecting someone’s religion is serious, so you don’t owe them anything.
4. Remember where you parked your car. Don’t be that person who walks around at night, searching through packed parking lots to find where they parked their car. This gives potential attackers an easier way to get to you. Remember where you parked your vehicle, and if possible, try to park it close to your destination, so you don’t have to be walking long distances at night.
5. If you’re close to your attacker, aim for the eyes and nose. Use both thumbs to gouge their eyes, and for the nose, use the heel of your palm and just go at it. A simple punch to the nose is just as effective, though. For the throat, a karate chop to the lower valley of their throat can take away breath and cause choking. Jabbing your fingers into that spot works too, however, this should only be used in extreme danger because this is a very sensitive area.
That’s all I have, but, if you know that you are going out tomorrow, self defense videos are very useful, and being in groups with more than two people can help a great deal.
Inshallah, no one is hurt tomorrow, though. Stay safe!
