The difference between being Human, woman, muslim versus being a Mullah...

Do you agree that is inhumane to force women to dress in a particular way?

Do you agree that is inhumane to force women to dress in a particular way?

The sentence you quoted is crystal clear.

Do you agree that no Mullah between Allah and individual in the Islam?

 

[Zibago]

The right to wear and not wear are equal but bs that the imperialist promote needs to be pointed out

The sentence you quoted is crystal clear.

Do you agree that no Mullah between Allah and individual in the Islam?

Good. I take it you agree that it is also inhumane when women are forced to dress a certain way in France, Holland, Austria, Bulgaria, Latvia? Or is it just inhumane to force women to dress in a certain way in Iran?

Yes i do agree that there is no Mullah between Allah and the individual. The mullah plays a role, the role of a teacher - but the student sits the exam by himself. Mullah is not the police officer or the king.

What different agenda would justify been thrown to prison for two Years ?

There is no agenda that would justify that , matters not what they where protesting there is no reason to arrest them. I see you don't believe in giving even minimum human rights to your own people.

Sad.

Betraying my beautiful Iran by trying to create instability and cause internal turmoil. They saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. They knew what they were doing. People were protesting against economic hardship and some rioters tried to coup the protests by chanting anti government slogans. They were organized by foreigners who were instructing people to kill police, destroy property and create fitnah. I’m guessing you don’t know half the story of it.

I can agree with you that telling people what to wear is problematic no matters where it occurs.

However it would be wrong to argue that what happens in europe is same as in Iran or Saudi.

First let us look at look at the scale and numbers this laws are effecting. In Iran this law effects some 40 million woman who are forced to wear the hijab ! In france when this laws where introduced only about 2000 woman wore face covering.

Also we need to take into account the motives behind the law - one of the reasons behind the burka ban was meant to ensure that no woman would be oppressed and forced to wear the burka against there will.

It is also worth mentioning that the hijab is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to woman discrimination in middle east countries , which is hardly the same as the situation of woman in europe.

That is called a double standard. The motivation didn't take into account the feelings of the women they were opressing with such laws. The Saudi's and Iranians will have their own BS reasons for the compulsion in their laws.

Scale is also irrelevant, injustice is the same for the individual facing it.

I think you are making it easy on yourself , we all know that their is a large group of people in Iran that are not happy with the regime in Iran , we saw it in 2009 when the majority of Iranians voted for reforms in Iran , yet their vote was ignored by the mullahs.

You cant sweep that under the rug

My Israeli friend.

A large group of people are not happy with the regime. I myself am not happy with the regime. But I would never betray my country by provoking riots, instability and turmoil, and certainly not by serving as a puppet for foreign agents with ill intent. Majority of Iranians didn't vote for reforms in 2009. They voted for Ahmadinejad, there are 80 million Iranians, and those westernised Iranians you see on instagram, facebook etc are usually over represented by those who want regime change, but they don't represent Iran or Iranians. I can understand though if Iranians on social media have given you an impression that majority of Iranians are heavily westernised and wants regime change. But thats far from the truth.

I assure you that if 80 million Iranians really wanted regime change. Then Even if Khomeini returned from the grave, he wouldn't be able to stop a regime change.

There is this expression that "let him who is without sin cast the first stone" My Israeli friend, if you truly care about human rights and the right to vote. Stop killing Palestinians just for being Palestinians. Stop destroying their homes. Stop illegal settlements. At least, treat Palestinians how you would treat stray dogs.

Meanwhile Khamenei is Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool And shooting some b-ball outside of the school. While she is rotting in prison.

The Islam is the topic, so let me know when you finish monologue for tit-tat, and start to a dialogue for the topic.

The confusion has had you, called oxymoron.

Shaparak Shajarizadeh Twice Arrested For Allegedly Removing Her Headscarf in Public in Iran

Shaparak Shajarizadeh has been arrested again for allegedly allowing her hair to show in public in Iran.

Her lawyer, prominent human rights attorney Nasrin Sotoudeh, called the ongoing arrests of Iranian women for allegedly violating the country’s compulsory hijab rule a “manifestation of violence against women.”

“I don’t know if she removed her hijab or not but my question is, how come women get immediately arrested for not observing the hijab or having an inappropriate hijab, or wearing tight or short dresses, or wearing lipstick but in cases dealing with theft and murder, suspects never get arrested so fast?” Sotoudeh said.

“Why should women be arrested like this every day?” she added. “This is a manifestation of violence against women.”

Sotoudeh informed the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) that the police detained Shajarizadeh along with her 9-year-old son on May 8 in the city of Kashan, 152 miles south of Tehran, for allegedly removing her hijab.

Her son was released several hours later.

All women in Iran are forced to cover the skin on their bodies (excluding the face) and their hair when they are in public. This rule was gradually imposed after the country’s 1979 revolution by then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Women who fail to cover themselves according to current standards in public in Iran could be arrested, fined, lashed and imprisoned for committing “haram.”

According to Article 638 of Iran’s Islamic Penal Code: “Anyone in public places and roads who openly commits a harām [sinful] act, in addition to the punishment provided for the act, shall be sentenced to two months’ imprisonment or up to 74 lashes; and if they commit an act that is not punishable but violates public prudency, they shall only be sentenced to 10 days to two months’ imprisonment or up to 74 lashes.”

According to Article 639 of the Islamic Penal Code: “The following individuals shall be sentenced to one year to 10 years’ imprisonment… A – Anyone who establishes or directs a place of immorality or prostitution. B – Anyone who facilitates or encourages people to commit immorality or prostitution.”

Shajarizadeh was previously arrested in late February 2018 for removing her headscarf and waving it on a stick in the north Tehran neighborhood of Gheytarieh.

Shajarizadeh and several other women who have repeated the act in cities across the country in 2018 have since been referred to as the “Girls of Revolution Street” by social media users.

Shajarizadeh is scheduled to appear at Branch 1089 of the Criminal Court in Tehran on June 10, 2018, to be tried for her previous arrest on the charges of “not observing Islamic hijab” and “encouraging corruption” her attorney told CHRI.

Iranian women have been protesting against the compulsory that was instated in Iran shortly after the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution for more than three decades in various ways, including by allowing more and more hair to show under their scarves as the years passed on.

But the protests received international attention in 2018 after 31-year-old mother Vida Movahed stood on a sidewalk utility box on Enghelab (Revolution) St. in Tehran on December 27, 2017, and waved her headscarf like a flag as the first known woman to have done so in Iran.

Two women are currently facing prison time for engaging in the peaceful form of protest.

On March 7, sociology student Narges Hosseini, 32, was sentenced to 24 months in prison—21 months suspended for five years—for the charges of “encouraging people to engage in corruption by removing the hijab in public” and “committing a forbidden act in a public space.”

On March 25, Maryam Shariatmadari, a 32-year-old computer science student in Tehran, was sentenced to one year in prison for “encouraging corruption by removing her hijab.”

It is unclear whether either of the women will be forced to serve the sentences.

Iran woman gets 20-year term for taking off hijab in public

July 11, 2018 at 9:33 am | Published in: Iran, Middle East, News

An Iranian woman has been sentenced to 20 years in jail for taking off her headscarf in public.

Forty-two-year-old Shaparak Shajarizadeh was arrested in February two months after pictures of her standing in a busy street in the capital Tehran went public.

Shajarizadeh had been waving a scarf in protesting against the compulsory hijab law.

After being released on bail in April she told Amnesty International that she had been charged with “incitement to indecency and prostitution”.

An Iranian court also sentenced another protestor to two years in prison on charges of “incitement to indecency by taking off the headscarf in public”, “committing indecent acts” and “appearing in public places without the headscarf”.

Controlling women on a state level. Iran is like an ugly insecure boyfriend. What a stupid mindset and country.

Unforunately for Pakistan they have rapist world leaders India and Iran around. No good role models. Would be better off in British empire. Outside of the west its all a bunch of wierdo and wackjobs and mullah fanatics and hindu fanatics who hate women.
