Powerful: Egyptian Feminists Literally Shit, Bleed on ISIL Flag (NSFW)

Egyptian activist
Aliaa Magda Elmahdy and an unnamed collaborator have made
an incredibly bold statement against the Islamic State (ISIL).

From a writeup at Liveleak:

[Elmadhy] posted a photo to Facebook Saturday of herself and
another unidentified women defecating and menstruating on an
Islamic State flag while in the nude, in what appears to be a
protest against the Islamist terror group’s recent advances in
northern Iraq and Syria

Aliaa Magda Elmahdy did not specify why she posted the photo,
though past controversies, such as a 2011 incident in which she posed
in only stockings and red shoes for her blog — to protest against
Egypt’s conservative culture — suggest that she was opposing the
Islamic State terror group’s brutally restrictive and misogynistic
ideology.

In the image, the 23-year-old feminist is seen facing the
camera, while the other woman, dressed in a black hijab, has her
back towards the viewer. Two presumably plastic machine guns are in
the background, and the veiled woman is holding up her middle
finger. The letters IS are inscribed on Elmahdy’s stomach and on
the second woman’s bottom.

When you consider what Theo
Van Gogh was killed for
 and all the violence caused by the
Mohammed
cartoons
, this sort of imagery becomes even bolder and more
powerful than it immediately appears.
