The GAP Back to School campaign features a young pre-pubescent girl in an Islamic supremacist headbag alongside a gender non-specific something or other with bushy hair. Did CAIR have to approve this?
Sputnik News Gap Kids has released a back-to-school commercial showing a bunch of teenagers wearing denim clothes; one of the models is wearing a hijab.
Users seem to have divided opinions on the brand’s new back-to-school campaign. Some lambast the hijab as a tool of oppression, while others believe that the ad is playing the diversity card as part of a marketing plan.
But a lot more, however, have been apparently dissatisfied with the fashion retailer. In several critical tweets, netizens have slammed the hijab as a choice imposed on young female Muslims.
IN FRANCE, the GAP hijab campaign has horrified the secular country. Not only was it denounced, a boycott was even launched. “I’ll never accept seeing little girls in veils. I will never go to Gap,” tweeted Anne-Christine Lang, deputy of Onward. A petition against the ad called “The veil is not child’s play” was also started on Change.org
Voice of Europe French MPs warn they’re ‘sickened’ by US high-street fashion giant Gap showing a young Muslim girl wearing a headscarf. Thousands of people have now signed a petition demanding GAP end the ad campaign. The ‘Back to School’ campaign was shot in New York. But when Gap Kids published the photos and videos on its French social media sites, it sparked a massive outcry.
“We are asking GAP in Europe to disassociate itself from the GapKids campaign, #GapToSchool, who dares to place a girl with a hijab in the middle of children from different cultures, as if the veil were a colourful dimension that adds to social diversity. The veil is not a fairy tale! Like boys, all little girls need air and innocence, regardless of ethnic and identity issues!
Several years ago, studies revealed a lack of vitamin D in veiled women suffering from multiple pains. So today we start from childhood to put the health of girls in danger in the name of an idealized vision and which is more unassailable?
This campaign trivializes the wearing of the veil, it gives a joyful and fraudulent image. We do not stop progress: today veiled, sexually marked at 10 years, tomorrow prevented from playing sports and bathing without a veil, the day after tomorrow excised and forcibly married?
We ask GAP in Europe to comment on this sensitive issue and not use this type of sexist campaign to sell clothes,” the petition reads.
This GAP ad is from 2017. Did it increase their sales? Not likely. GAP joins other companies like Coke, Nike, Microsoft, H&M, CoverGirl, and HoneyMaid in celebrating the fact that oppressed Muslim women are forced by sharia-compliant Muslim men to cover their hair and often their faces, too. What kind of message is this anyway?

BOYCOTT GAP!
That’s it! I am NOT buying clothes from Gap anymore. I can’t believe I used to shop for Gap clothing online.
By the way, the hijab does NOT look good with the young teen’s clothes. In fact, the hijab DOESN’T look good on anyone. It looks terrible. It’s stupid.
Totally 100% agree. It looks like something out of a Gothic horror movie (thinking mummies).
The Levis web page looks like a recruiting campaign for ANTIFA
A company sucking up to Islam is certain to not receive any business from me.
Gap Flap …. native Americans had a different name …. Loin Cloth …. I personally prefer the more precise …. Crotch Patch ? (Native Americans were just “Sooners” …. they invaded the Americas sooner …. like those Oklahoman “Sooners” who didn’t wait for the starter’s pistol …. at the Oklahoma Land Rush ?)
Banned brooks growing list, dictating both the moral relativism in public schools and law enforcement narratives now cornering the markets in sartorial proclivities public enemy number one CAIR is Hamas for the everyday high,high prices at your local WalMart. Glad today’s trendy apparel,fashions and lifestyles can easily be avoided wearing my starched wrangler jeans or shorts Texas longhorns’ paraphernalia, logos and #MAGA caps. To hell with the Gap the Gap along with other OBAMACAIR establishments. Ya’ll ever see those Trumpy bears from the commercials? I’ve got to have one
“I am curious, passionate, hard working, and a dreamer. I am kind hearted and all about friends and family I am Hybutalla” (quoting the gap crap).
Sure, every one of those sentiments is true of muslimes. Seriously curious, but bound within the tenets of pisslam.
Passionate, but your passion is fueled by hatred.
Hard working indeed, when it comes to claiming your welfare cheque and sueing whenever you get the chance.
A dreamer; absolutely, you dream of destroying the west, but Israel first.
Kind-hearted, but certainly not towards Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindis, Sikhs, atheists, Europeans of any religion, Eastern Asians of any religion, Negroes of any religion, donkeys, camels, dogs (especially black ones)… the list goes on.
All about friends and family, because if you are anything else, they’ll track you down and kill you, quickly at best, locking you in a dark padded room for the rest of your life at worst.
Well said Hybutalla
Amen
I love my Trump and am anti- illegal and don’t care for the preference that muslims get but ive seen documentaries about muslim women and inder that trash bag is a beautiful woman dressed to the gills in the newest sexy fashion and full make up. *under
“Dressed to the gills …. see, even women …. refer to women as fishy …. we guys are vindicated ?” Code Fish Pink Pussycat Rosebuds
Not usually. Most of the time there is an ugly or plain Jane female under there. In a house dress.
The Gap where I live doesn’t get much business. Maybe they think putting headbags in their ads will help. Well, they thought wrong. Stupid leftists just don’t understand Islam.
I’ve noticed other companies having Muslims in their commercials. Pepci for one does it.
And their commercial tanked big time. Even the SJWs hated it.
