Islam is RIGHT About Women’ flyers spark concern in Winchester
WHDH ^

WINCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Residents in Winchester are debating free speech versus hate speech after flyers reading “Islam is RIGHT About Women” were found plastered around town.

Anita Davison told 7NEWS that she was walking her child to school on Wednesday when saw the concerning flyers struck to street signs near the town’s center.

Davison says she was alarmed by the sight of the flyers and immediately ripped them down.

“Political climate at the moment, and all the things happening around the world, it just puts a little fear in you,” she said.

After Davison brought two flyers to the Winchester Police Department, officers went out and found eight more, including one that was posted outside of an elementary school.

Some residents say they think the signs refer to strict laws applied to women.

“Putting signs up that make people feel uncomfortable is unfortunate, particularly in this time and age,” Jim Leary said.

Police say the signs were not threatening and considered free speech. They opted to get rid of them because they were placed on town property.

Davison hopes others will do as she did if more signs pop up.

“Most people have been supportive of the decision to take them down,” she said. “Others have said that I’m not for free speech but I really am. I just feel like that was on the side of hate speech.”

No one has come forward to explain the meaning behind the message.

“Islam is Right About Dogs.” Put up that sign in these snobby liberal neighborhoods where people like to take their finely groomed pooches out for a walk and call their canines their “children.”

Was going to post one of the threads (there were at least 3) from yesterday, but did they yank it? No longer on my ping list!

Yeah, this was beautiful. And libs’ heads are exploding as they “don’t know what to think”!

I wonder if she is related to this snowflake:

So, is she uncomfortable about Islam’s view of women? Does she not recognize it? Or is she upset that someone is pointing it out?

It’s brilliant. I’d like to see them pop up in other places.

I’ve witnessed several women who are poster children as to why they couldn’t drive in Saudi Arabia.

Between texting, doing hair/make-up, or just driving like an absolute b*tch.

There was one last week who besides tailgating and cutting people off used the right hand or center turn lanes as her personal passing lanes because OMG the flow of traffic was only 10mph over the posted speed limit.

Then there are two who rides their fat asses in the left hand lane while going 10 or more below the limit.

One who picks her hellion up from my son’s after school center who never parks in a parking space, instead parks in the driveway by the door obstructing traffic.

Love a conundrum...

Whichever side one takes, they can be construed as being wrong or right or WGAF.

Like business
Two gas stations in town and

one charges
A...2.309 per gallon
and the other
B...2.369

Is B price gouging A
OR
Is A undercutting B

AND if they BOTH charged 2.339

They will be accused of collusion to keep the price high.

Sometimes, you just can’t win...

My aunt Eva had a pilot’s license for years, sj7he used to take me up and even let me take the controls. It was a lot of fun. I don’t see why Islam does not like women flyers...

Except:

They are seldom truly gay, and are absolutely never homosexual.

There is no such thing as biologically functional homosexuality; two persons of the same binary sex (not variable gender) cannot procreate - period.

It is homoeroticism.
