The Islamic Regime intensifies war on women

Filed under: Iran

The Islamic Republic of Iran has intensified the 27 year tough war on women and Gender Apartheid policy.

Here are some more photos showing the Bassiji-Hezbollah paramilitary militias (including black cows, the female Islamists) repressing and intimidating women who dare not to observe stricly the Islamic dress code.

Notice that the veil in Iran is mandatory for all women, regardless of whether they are Iranian or non-Iranian (even female tourists have to wear it while they are in Iran).

Women took to the police station to be interrogated and who knows what'll be their fate!

See more photos here, here and here.

UPDATE: Two thousand young men protested at the new dress code. My prediction is that there will be more protests, all across Iran.

My ears are ringing from the clamor of the "progressive" movement's loud protest against this! Oh wait I forgot: Bush = Hitler!!!


Bruce says:

and from the western feminists a deafening silence. Consider the outrage at the smallest thing in the west.

Here in the face of true oppression silence,silence and more silence


winston says:

help free Iran


Karridine says:

Not content to molest and persecute Baha'is, the Iranian 'government' (Muslims) now molests and persecutes normal, chaste, moderate women walking about the city...

Disgusting!


Miguel says:

I felt so sad watching those pictures. Islam is a death cult, mysoginist, filled with hatred towards women. Where are the Western feminists? It's so obvious that they don't care for women. They only care for an obscure and treacherous agenda of delivering women in the claws of murderous cults like Islam, abortion, communist repression, anything that would make women worth less and less.
Why do feminists hate women? That is something I can not understand. They want them easy and in bed with men, like whores, but decent normal women don't deserve their effort even if they are living an atrocious oppresion as it is the case in the Muslim world.
Feminists are disgusting.


george whyte says:

can you imagine this happening in the west...........trust me it will not be long.


JK says:

I'm not entirely sure what it is you want western feminists to do about it. Are they supposed to fly over in bikinis and AK-47s? Where are the feminists? Probably fighting the battles they can win. In countries where women are dismissed as subhuman and covered up to protect the almighty male hormone from going out of control (heaven forbid) there isn't much a feminist could do other than beat her scarfless head against an erect phallus. And they'd only enjoy that. Feminists aren't going to do anything about women who don't stand up for themselves first. In other words, there's nothing to support if all they're going to do is submit and be good little cows to keep from being punished.


alice says:

JK is right, Miguel. Iran's feminists exist, yet, can you imagine fighting a battle where the retribution is not only disapproval from society, as it might have been when the suffragettes were fighting for American women's right to vote, but DEATH!
And excuuuse me, but not all feminists are as you describe - some are egalitarians, quite simply, wanting no one but the woman to decide for her. Only by feminism becoming part of basic humanism and with both men and women fighting for respect for both genders will problems be lessened. As with democracy, feminism is a lesson learned by the society in which it evolves - or is fought for and won. Good luck, Iran! There will be more hard days to come, I'm afraid...


Nilk says:

JK and Alice, as a woman I am gobsmacked at your selfishness.

Since when has feminism been about sitting back and watching women be oppressed? Since you feel there is nothing the sisterhood can do, you're happy to sit on your hands and just let these women suffer.

After all, they aren't helping themselves.

Do a bit of research into islam, why don't you. Have a read of sura and verse 4.34, which religiously sanctions wife beating on the presumption of disobedience, and then come back and tell us why these women don't do a whole lot to further their lots in life.

It wouldn't have something to do with being seen as having half the worth of a man, and dificient in their intelligence and piety, now, would it?

If you want to do something in your homeland that you can't do in Iran, how about protesting the creeping sharia in your country?

Educate yourself - the sooner islam is recognised for the genocidal and gendercidal cult it is, the better for all of us.

And that includes the women in Iran.


Ohmar says:

Uh, Nilk.

I don't think the others feel feminism is about sitting back and doing nothing.
I think the point was asking were is the public outcry, the news reports, the opinion pieces, etc. . .
In other words, where in the west's media (other than the web) are the voices speaking out against this backwards mentality?

Just a suggestion but try reading the posts fully before jumping to a conclusion.


Marnix says:

Western feminist's won't help these women for the following reason:
they are eglatarians mostly, and aply the same principles when it comes to diffirent cultures: all cultures are equal.


kentuckyjoe says:

What a damn shame purely on aesthic grounds, not to mention human rights. Iranian women are so beautiful and some goober with sergeant's stripes and an AK-47 messes it up for everyone. I wish I had asked an Iranian woman in college-day late and a dollar short as usual.

While we're at it, what's with Ahmadenijad? How come he can't wear a suit like a normal leader? What's with the $19.95 Sears and Roebuck windbreaker? He looks like an Iranian Don Adams with a Walmart windbreaker. Putz.


Sytze Vliegen says:

disgusting black cows!

zeh pope says:

Nilk: they don't say feminism is about sitting back, they say feminists can't do shit, because the people them selves don't really show they want to be rescued.
how hard it might seem for some people, there are a lot of women who actually believe it is all for a good cause.
the worst thing that can happen to you when you try to save somebody, is, after you did, find out they do not want to be saved.
so as long as the women don't start something themselves, the western feminists are just bound to do nothing, because it will all be for nothing, you can put as much effort in it as you want, just to find the subjects go right back themselves.


Ed says:

No JK is not right! It is essential for anyone advocating for women's "rights" to say something about the flagrant abuse of women whenever it occurs. And it is obvious from these photos that it's being done to women by women. For the cowardly "feminists" speak out agains Islam now.


Lol says:

Didn't you all know ? Islam = peace


Mark says:

feminists don't say squat about this because, being feminists, they care not about human rights, but about towing the leftist line that it is the west, the Christian west, that is the bad guy in the world, and that all other cultures are merely oppressed. Feminists never denounce the brutal treatment of women in other cultures because that is not what they are about. Feminism as a political movement, is a western leftist movement. The Left goes to bat for islam, for the jihadists, for Iran, for anything and anyone inimical to the west. To understand the motives of the political feminist movement, you must understand the Left. Then you will see why there is complete silence about the brutal treatment of women in muslim countries, and why there is no outcry against creeping Sharia in the west.

PETA is another example of this. You'd think they are dedicated to protecting animals from harm and cruelty, but you'd be wrong. Islam reserves the right to hang animals upside down, cut their throats and let them painfully bleed to death. That is halal meat. Sometimes they take a sheep and bring it into their bathtubs to slaughter to make their own halal meat. Does PETA say a word about this? Does PETA protest the inclusion of halal meat into universities and other institutions? Not a peep.


Steffen Silvis says:

It is not, as many of you insist on parroting, that the left believes that "all cultures are equal." It is that we believe (well, some of us, I won't generalize) in self-determination.

Would that an army of Stoics, Cynics and Epicurians would have invaded Medieval Christian Europe to put a stop to witch-burnings, public torture, and the periodic pogroms against Jews, who were suppose to be poisoning wells, spreading plagues, and drinking the blood of Christian children. Yet, in small steps (far too), we managed to pull ourselves out of this primitive mindset, for the most part, without some foreign force of outside intelligence elbowing in to correct us.


solomonpal says:

The feminist movement today consists of frauds and fakes whose hatred of western civilization,capatalism,men,the United States, heterosexuals,Christianity,family,democracy and hatred for George Bush that far outweighs and has deadened any response they could muster. That's right sweetheart. What cha gonna do when the black crows come for you...Imbecile!Cowards!Phoneys!


Susan says:

Western feminists are cowardly sissies. Does anyone remember the poor delicate flower who was so overcome by the president of Princeton's queries concerning male aptitude for math and science? She had to stumble from the room lest she faint right on the spot. If I need defending please deliver me from the help of such a pitiful creature, I can't even bring myself to call her a woman.


infidelicious says:

Perhaps Steffen

But islam is expansionistic and aggressive and seeks to cloak the entire world eventually in the darkness of this reppressive ideology. Through jihad, the islamic world will attempt, and is attempting to spread this hateful and mysoginistic way of life. Do we sit on our hands and do nothing? Do we watch as Christians, Buddhists, Bahai's, Zoroastrians, and others suffer and are killed and merely hope that the morass that is islam will "work it all out"? Or should we sit like Europe, that bastion of liberal pride, and watch as all of our culture and insitutions are eroded from within by an invading army as deadly as any virus while we can pat ouselves on the back for our deep commitment to "multiculturalism". I for one will not!


Steffen Silvis says:

I am no fan of Islam, nor of Christianity for that matter,infidelicious, but you raise good points. It is a problem. I think the "fifth-columnists in Europe" anxiety is overstated, and there's plenty of proof (mostly amongst European Muslim women) that the contact with the West might be the catalyst for change in the benighted East. That said, I think some European communities have erred in bowing toward the establishment of Sharia courts. Those actions should be rescinded and quickly.

However, violence is really not the answer. There is enough evidence to prove that the CIA/British Intelligence overthrow of a liberal Iranian prime minister in the '50s has a great bearing on Iran's current psychological state. As for the religious and ethnic minorities under attack in the region, let me remind you that under the dreaded secularist Saddam, Chaldean Christians, Assyrian Christains, Yizidi, and various of the lingering Gnostic sects, were left unmolested and allowed to worship in their various ways, and that it was only with the US/UK invasion of Iraq that the hideous jinn of tribalness and religious prejudice was let lose on the land (20 Yizidi were massacred just last week).

Still, one does have to marvel that these various religions, as old as Christianity or older in the case of Zoroastrianism, have survived your "aggressive and expansionist" Islam all of these centuries. You certainly cannot point to a similar situation in pre-modern Christian Europe (I give you the Cathars), other than perhaps the violent disdain that allowed the Jews to continue on as best they could in some squalid corners of Christendom, whereas in Islamic Spain, the Jews were treated very much as equals. My family, by the way, Sephardic Jews, had resided in Spain for god knows how long, until Isabel and Ferdinand and their Inquisition came along. But, that's all blood under the bridge.


Steffen Silvis says:

As for PETA, what would you have them do? Outlaw halal practices? If so, then kosher will have to go, too, or have you never thought about the preparation of kosher meat?

I'm a vegetarian, so I find the whole slaughter business, in whatever guise, appalling and barbaric. However, philosophically, I think a person who slaughters their own meat is more honest than some suburbanite who picks up a plastic-wrapped piece of carnage from a supermarket freezer for dinner, without giving a single thought to what they are holding in their hands.


Kai Kobad says:

Seems the best thing would be to veil GW Bush and to get some help for the right wing ranters here. If their right wingnut government hadn't overtrown the democrat Mossadeq these lunatics would not have come out of their box.


khadija says:

Are you people crazy? The govt of Iran is an Islamist govt that is oppressing MUSLIMS. This is a conflict between the political theocracy of Islamism and regular Muslims, not between Islam and Muslims.

And by the way, it was always western feminists that have raised the issue of women's rights everywhere in the world, including the Islamic world. Who raised the issue of the Taliban and women way before everybody and before 9-11? Leftist feminists!!

Some of the comments here show that some people on this forum are nothing more than skinheads.


DemocracyRules says:

Here is the Democrat political philosophy, espoused by Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Kerry, Kennedy and others: (1) big government, because it's needed to impose social control, (2) high taxes, because money is needed for big government, (3) economic leveling, because wealth redistribution is key, (4) controls on capitalism, because capitalism is bad, (5) top-down political structures, because Leftists favor cooperation instead of competition, so competition must be suppressed from above, (6) pro-global government, because Leftists are transnational, and abjure the nation state, (7) pro `Doom Theory', because these theories justify big, global, top-down government, (8) antiwar, because they do not want to help Republicans win in anything, (9) pro moral relativism, because according to Marx, and dialectical materialism, morality is constantly in flux, changing, and less important than striving for Socialist ideals, (10) anti-religion, because it distracts from the pursuit of higher Socialist Ideals, (11) pro-Islamist, because Socialists have common cause with Islamists in opposing Republican liberal democracy, (12) anti-Israel, in order to be pro-Islamist, (13) equivocation on the Constitution, because the liberal democracy articulated in the Constitution is at odds with Socialist ideals, and (14) pro gun control, to help facilitate top-down government control.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...it may be a duck. There is no other theory that I can think of which explains so much of the disturbing behavior of the Democrats, and Feminists.

Canadians would not waste time with euphemisms. The US Democrats are Socialists, and Feminists are Socialists. In their desperate attempts to defeat the Republicans at any cost, they ally themselves with Islamists. Ergo, they WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, criticize Iran.


Steffen Silvis says:

What can one say to Democracy Rules?

"Conspiracy Theory is the theology of the paranoid."

viking mother says:

Some above want to sit & wait for the women to protest themselves. They are beiing MURDERED for lack of a veil.

We might as well have sat & waited for the Jews in concentration camps to rise in protest.

The 1960's 70's feminists in the US were LOUD on the subject of abuse of women...Now the extremist branch of feminists is mainly concerned with abortion.....Other subjects are given minimal attention...so it seems.

james says:

I don't know where anyone thinks Feminism did women an ounce of good in Western culture; I believe Feminism to be an absolute failure across the board.

Feminism only put women to work, when at one time they did not need to. Now, with both men and women working, BOTH have a difficult time making ends meet. Now BOTH men and women have to work like slaves just to get by. Where does the 9 to 5 plus usually a second job equate to freedom?

All feminism did was cause women to feed corporate profit instead of families. I guess money is the ruler of all, after all.

Note this: throughout history the defining difference between free and slave nations is whether or not the women had to work to survive. Free societies, throughout history have always had the men work while the women stayed home.

How does staying home while someone else works to support you equal oppression? Is that not what royalty does?

Feminism was nothing but a mind game that cashed women in.


alex says:

james; feminism didnt just give women the right to work, it gave them the free will to vote, to have independance and to speak there own mind. it made them equal to men, so that men couldn't make snide comments saying "yeah well im the one who has to work". being a stay at home wife might seem like a life of heaven to you, but im sure after a few years you would get bored. to cook, clean and tidy up after someone all your life, what would be the fucking point. everyone should do it for themsleves. god made us all equal so if women want to work, earn there own money and be successful let them. THEY DONT HAVE TO IF THEY DONT WANT TO! feminism just gave them the choice thats all. basically get over yourself, (1) your a man you have no fucking idea, (2)your making out women are being stupid. and (3) staying at home while someone else works makes you feel Inadequate, you'll feel guilty when buying new things and they can hold it against you, working and earning for yourself gives you freedom and free choice.
your an arsehole that needs to consider the facts and how other women might feel before you start complaining that women are being stupid by choosing to work.
as for being a mind game, think of all the women out there that are against men being classed as better, its not the money, its the freedom it comes with. it gives women the choice to leave a husband if she wanted to, to move somewhere new and to make new friends.
so shut up you prick, go buy a nuts magazine or whatever else you useless men do now women work, clean and cook for you.
BASTARD!

Debt Counselor says:

Questions like how to pay debt and how to come out from debt have only one answer that is to limit your expenses. If you don’t limit your expenses it would prove dangerous for you, yes it is hundred percent true. Anyways only for name, there are numerous counseling services they are providing services like Christian Credit Card Counseling,
Online Debt Counseling, Credit Counseling Services, Debt Counseling Services, Christian Credit Debt Counseling, Credit Consolidation Services, Consolidation Credit Services, Credit Counseling Agency, Credit Counseling Programs, Debt Reduction Services and Nonprofit Debt Counseling but no one of them is going to pay your debt. They are just providing counseling services but payment has to be made by the borrowers themselves.
