PETITION: Tear down the extremist hijab statue in Birmingham!

36,373 Signatures
Goal: 50,000 Signatures

ADDRESSED TO: BIRMINGHAM CITY COUNCIL LEADER, CLLR JOHN COTTON

The Labour council in Birmingham has allowed a hideous statue of a woman wearing a hijab to be erected in Birmingham.

This comes at a time when women in Islamic nations, such as Iran, are being executed or imprisoned for taking their hijabs off.

Women in Islamist communities face enormous communal pressure to wear these hijabs, mostly against their will.

The forced wearing of hijabs is a symbol of oppression throughout the world.

For this reason, the extremist statue in Birmingham must be torn down.

We do not oppress women here in our Christian, Western nations.

Britain First has launched an urgent petition to pressure the leader of Birmingham City Council, Cllr John Cotton, to reverse his outrageous decision.

Please add your name to the petition below:

I, the undersigned, add my name to the petition.

    Whilst women fight and die for the right to dress of their own free will, we actually erect a statue of this oppression. Amazing really.

    I feel this should be taken down as it represents a minority with extremist views & this statue just fortifies the hold these groups want to have.

    We should be celebrating our own culture, people who actually fought and died for this country.

    It’s disgraceful and an Insult to our Ancestors who built, fought and many died to preserve our culture, not pander to foreigners who hate us.

    I think for financial reasons too, a complete waste of money as isn’t the Birmingham Council supposed to be in a financial crisis.
