Why Iran ‘cannot turn back time’ on public hijab rule

Iranian women increasingly resist the public headscarf rule. Despite ongoing repression, Iran’s regime seems powerless to stop social change.

“The state’s current policy on the issue of the hijab is not to follow strict rules,” Ali Motahari, a conservative Iranian politician, told journalists last week on the fringes of the International Book Fair in Tehran.

He added that the police should only intervene in the event of gross violations.

“You have to know that even at the time of the Shah, before the 1979 revolution, women were arrested if they did not dress decently in public,” he said. Wearing a hijab, or headscarf, remains mandatory in Iran.

Women burn hijabs and cut off their hair in protest at Mahsa Amini death

Iranian women are burning their headscarves and cutting off their hair in protest at the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after her arrest by Tehran’s notorious morality police.

Videos posted on social media showed protesters setting fire to hijabs while chanting promises to “take revenge” for “our sister” Amini, who died in hospital on Friday after three days in a coma following her arrest during a visit to the capital.

To the world who still don’t know that in Iran #WalkingUnveiled is a punishable crime. Yes these
women who removed their hijab can get jailed, beaten & kicked out from job. But like the women's suffrage movement, Iranian women making history.#مهسا_امینی pic.twitter.com/pu3uUA1teM

Mahsa Amini: Women take headscarves off in protest at funeral

Protests have broken out at the funeral of a woman who died after being arrested by Iran’s morality police.

Mahsa Amini, 22, died on Friday, days after eyewitnesses said she was beaten in a police van in Tehran – allegations denied by police.

Some women at the ceremony reportedly removed their headscarves in protest at the compulsory wearing of hijabs.

Mourners chanted “death to the dictator”, with videos showing police later firing on a crowd.

At Mahsa Amini's funeral in her hometown of Saqqez, Kurdistan province, women take their headscarves off in protest against Iran's forced hijab law amid "death to the dictator" chants.

Massachusetts Woman originally from Afghanistan fatally shoots three male relatives before killing herself

A Massachusetts woman shot her brother-in-law, his father, her own dad and herself to death after she publicly accused the first man of physically abusing her sister for years while the other two – along with additional relatives – stood idly by, according to authorities and a chilling social media post that offers an apparent motive for the violence.

The gruesome saga began with a Facebook post published on the afternoon of 23 August in which Khosay Sharifi recounted how her sister has been choked, slapped, kicked, punched in the face and cursed out by her husband of 14 years.

Arrests and TV confessions as Iran cracks down on women’s ‘improper’ clothing

There were protests and condemnation last week after an Iranian woman who was arrested for defying newly hardened hijab laws appeared on state television to give what observers claimed was a forced confession as a result of torture.

Sepideh Rashno, 28, was arrested in July soon after footage of her being harassed on a bus over “improper clothing”, was circulated online.

Rashno, a writer and artist, is among a number of women arrested after the introduction of a national “Hijab and Chastity Day” on 12 July.

Indonesian woman flogged 100 times for adultery, man gets 15 lashes

An Indonesian woman has been flogged 100 times in Aceh province for adultery while the male involved, who denied the accusations, received just 15 lashes.

Ivan Najjar Alavi, the head of the general investigation division at the East Aceh prosecutors’ office, said the court handed down a harsher sentence for the woman after she confessed to investigators she had sex outside of her marriage.

Judges found it difficult to convict the man, who was then the head of the East Aceh fishery agency and also married, because he denied all wrongdoing, Alavi said.

Barbara Kay: The high priests of woke hijack the hijab debate

Readers truly interested in courageous Muslim women’s ‘lived experience’ can find them online under hashtag #FreeFromHijab

Quebec’s Bill 21, which proscribes visible religious symbols in many public-sector jobs — popular with Quebec francophones, unpopular with Quebec and Canadian anglophones — was passed in 2019, but it wasn’t until October that a test case emerged in the public school system. In an act of civil disobedience abetted by Bill 21-dissenting school administrators, substitute teacher Fatemeh Anvari, who wears the hijab, was assigned to a homeroom Grade 3 class at Chelsea Elementary School.

This entire affair is media incited. Sane people do not desire to live under the Mohammedan cult’s sharia law.

Canadian Medical Association Journal caves to Islamist cult and retracts letter that correctly describes the Hijab as a symbol of oppression

Canadian Medical Association Journal retracts controversial hijab letter

The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) has retracted and formally apologized for a letter it recently published about the hijab following calls from multiple organizations and individuals.

Interim editor-in-chief of the CMAJ, Dr. Kirsten Patrick, apologized on Thursday for publishing the letter, which she said “did not contain appropriate subject matter for publication” and “disgusted many readers across Canada.”

The letter, published on Dec. 20 with the headline “Don’t use an instrument of oppression as a symbol of diversity and inclusion,” was written by Montreal pediatric surgeon Dr. Sherif Emil in response to the CMAJ’s use of an image last month of two young girls, one of whom is wearing a hijab, that accompanied a piece on social interventions in primary care.

Case Closed: Quebec Premier François Legault says school board wrong to hire teacher who wore hijab

Premier François Legault says a school board in western Quebec should not have hired a teacher who wore a hijab.

Legault told reporters today in Quebec City the province’s secularism law, known as Bill 21, has been in place since June 2019 and the Western Quebec School Board should have respected it when hiring.

Case closed. There is no place for the death cult’s sharia law in schools.

School Board Bans Memoir by ISIS Victim Because of ‘Islamophobia’

A good rule of thumb is that if you notice Islamic terror, you’re the Islamophobe. Even if you’re a teenager who was taken captive and raped by ISIS.

UK: Welcome to the Medieval Era of 2021

Advocates of multi-culturalism demand not only that we should accept sweeping changes to our cultural landscape, but also that we should be far more welcoming of some of the medieval customs, traditions, and religious laws it has taken much of the world — often at great cost in the irrevocable currency of life as well as treasure — centuries to get rid of.

‘EVERYONE IS FORGIVEN’: Taliban holds first official press conference in Afghanistan

The Taliban has given its first official news conference in Kabul since the shock seizure of the city, declaring it wants peaceful relations with other countries and would respect the rights of women within the framework of Islamic law.

“We don’t want any internal or external enemies,” the movement’s main spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said.

The insurgents seek no revenge and “everyone is forgiven” he said.

Mujahid said women would be allowed to work and study and “will be very active in society but within the framework of Islam”.

The Taliban would not seek retribution against former soldiers and members of the Western-backed government, he said, saying the movement was granting an amnesty for former Afghan government soldiers as well as contractors and translators who worked for international forces.

“Nobody is going to harm you, nobody is going to knock on your doors,” he said.

He said private media could continue to be free and independent in Afghanistan, adding the Taliban was committed to the media within its cultural framework.

Indonesia: Army scraps ‘virginity test’ for female cadets

The Indonesian army will no longer conduct virginity tests on women applying to join the forces, the chief of staff announced on Wednesday. The practice was long condemned by rights groups who called it degrading and traumatic.

“Whether the hymen was ruptured or partially ruptured was part of the examination … now there’s no more of that,” Andika Perkasa, the Indonesian army chief of staff, told reporters, referring to the invasive two-finger examination that was conducted to determine whether female applicants’ hymens were intact.

In the past, the military used the tests to determine recruits’ morality.
