The claim that Islam merely protects women's modesty is debunked by this poster for the Australian Islamic Peace Conference.

The real agenda - at least of these preachers - is to blot out women's identities. But where are the feminists to protest?

A CONTROVERSIAL Islamic peace conference has sparked outrage after hiding the faces of three women advertised on a flyer to promote the event. The Australian Islamic Peace Conference posted the pamphlet on Facebook last week with the leaders who are set to speak at the event next month. But three female speakers — psychologist Monique Toohey, social worker Nina Trad Azam and Islamic teacher Umm Jamaal ud-Din — had their faces replaced with black ink.

The organisers claim they just wanted to spare the women from public harassment.

Really? But not the men?
