The Femen movement began in 2008 in Ukraine with a group of activists, in reaction to sexism, sexual tourism, religious and other issues social, national and international institutions. Femen women have tried to fight for freedom of thought and action, they express through protests topless.

Recently, a young teenager from Tunisia under the nickname Amina Tyler posted a photo topless from it, which aroused great rage among Tunisians, especially by radical Muslim groups.

As a feminist, I think there are more to the question than anything we perceive. It has become bigger, especially with the coming of European feminists in Muslim countries to perform these topless protests. Just like the colonizers came to colonize to hide behind the excuse of civilizing the barbarians, I see the coming of these Western feminist on the pretext of freeing women as a way to destroy the Muslim society.

After all, we are Muslims and we believe that it is inappropriate to leave the streets naked because it's against our values of respect and decency. Personally, I see the protests as a way to destroy our social and cultural values and ends up creating chaos that would only do harm to our society.  I am trying to look at the problem deeply and try to analyze more than what meet the eye. I think it is going too far and it is more simply Amina tyler, but a question of the bursting of the Muslim community and demolish our own identity.

Yes, I'm with the freedom of expression and against all kinds of restrictions of thought. I am for the promotion of the status of women in the Arab world and enabling them to enjoy their inalienable rights, to equality with men. I do not respect the ideology of Femen, but I disagree with the way in which women choose to express their point of view.

I firmly believe that there are other ways to fight for the emancipation of women and freedom. In other words, I find the law protest, nude in the streets of many of relevance. I am against such acts simply because they are a violation of public morality, neither more nor less.

In fact, my body is mine and I am free to treat it as I want. But I'd go around naked to tell the world that I am free, because this not how we can promote the empowerment of women. This is the type of behaviour shows rather the immaturity of these women and their lack of knowledge about how, we can advance the cause of women.

I am just against extremism. Just as it is considered as extreme to restrict freedom of women by treating them as a sex object and making to hide behind tons of clothes, it is also extreme to see some women consider the exhibition of their naked bodies such as freedom, because it defeats the purpose of being against the thing-ification of women.
