On Tuesday, singer Alicia Keys, who performed at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, of course, posted this tweet. It says, that's not the right one. That's the right. There we go. It says, our strength is in our differences. Our power is in our diversity. We are so beautiful. All of us, when we see each other, we see ourselves. And then it's a picture of her or another woman in the Nekab. Okay, the Nekab is the giant covering that covers your entire face, except for your eyes, and then she's wearing what appears to be a black form-fitting dress with her legs sticking out of it. So, you know, the Nikab is now a great thing. This is just the sort of empty-headed virtue signaling you'd expect from a member of the political far-left who obviously knows nothing about the way radical Islam treats women. It's the idiocy of modern feminism in action. It would be one thing to defend the hijab, which is the Islamic head covering that virtually all religious Muslim women wear. It's another to defend the Nekab, which is that face covering into which many religious Muslim countries force women. Here is the fact. In the countries in which women typically wear the Nikab, like Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan or Iran, a woman who exposed her leg, the way the woman does in this photo, would be criminally prosecuted. In Sudan in 2015, nine women were flogged for wearing pants. In Indonesia last year, a Muslim woman was flogged for standing in close proximity to her boyfriend. A few months ago, Saudi Arabia arrested a woman for taking a photograph without her abaya. That's the head covering that kind of swishes around the neck. Here is what that brazen hussy was wearing when the Saudis thought she was immodest. Yes, this. Okay, the woman received death threats even before her arrest. Okay, for people who can't actually see the picture and are listening to this later, she's wearing a long dress and a long black coat. Nothing is uncovered, essentially. It is easy to fetishize foreign cultures, but to glamorize

a symbol of oppression for millions of women across the Muslim world to pretend that the great

threat to freedom comes from the West, which is willing to tolerate women wearing pretty much

anything, rather than a radical Muslim world that uses the criminal law to penalize women who violate their standards of modesty is asinine virtue signaling

that forwards the oppression of women.

So much for feminism.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

All righty.

So today I actually want to talk a fair bit about this Planned Parenthood move by the state of California.

The state of California is now charging the undercover filmmakers who went undercover with Planned Parenthood and showed that Planned Parenthood was selling baby body parts, that they were performing abortions and ways in order to preserve the body parts of the babies.

The filmmakers are the ones in trouble.

In California, fine to kill babies, fine to sell their body parts. Not okay to go undercover to film people doing this in news reporting. But even that is a misread of the law. We'll go through all the law in just a second. Plus, we'll get to the latest from Trump land and Bernie Sanders land and all the rest of the crazy lands that exist in this bizarre

Game of Thrones world we now inhabit. But first, we have to say thank you to our sponsors over
