(I'm not fond of the title of this article but it does provide interesting info)
Tunisian feminist Amina Sboui has now called it quits with the Ukranian feminist group FEMEN. Sboui blasted the group for its Islamophobia and lack of financial transparency, shortly after her release from prison on August 1.
The group, famous for its tactic of topless protests, confirmed the split on its website, saying Sboui quit over differences of opinion on tactics in the Islamic countries, and calling for new heroines who are able to fight for their courage to shake the rotten foundation of Islamist world.
Sboui told the Huffington Post that she didnt want to be associated with an Islamophobic organization, and that her fight is about more than dress codes: I want women to be able to become president if they want to. I want women in rural areas to stop suffering.
Despite parting ways with FEMEN, Amina posted a new topless photograph of herself, but this time, with an anarchist symbol on her chest, symbolizing the radical changes shed like to forge in her own country.
Anarchy is the only solution, she said to Tunisia Live.

Should be ' FEMEN's Topless Protesters Get Schooled in the Muslim World by Topless Protester'

(89,287 posts)4. the Anarchy thing actually makes more sense based on the things she has said
Femen used her for their own purposes . but based on the things she said i never got her connection to them.
i disagree with Anarchist beliefs but based on things she said she always seemed like she was more an anarchist types with having a problem with authority in general. it wasn't specific to religion or anything .
