Earlier this year, a mullah in the city of Karaj blamed the lack of rain on the exposed heads of Iranian women. Those same women have been protesting these past eight months or so, refusing to wear hijabs, and burning them in the streets.
This is happening in a place that expects animators to make sure female characters in cartoons are drawn with hijab “because of the consequences of not doing so.”
This cultural revolt doesn’t get much attention from the Presstitutes in American media. It runs contrary to the dogma that drives their daily pilgrimage. Once thought to be passable truth-tellers, corporate media in the US is little more than a government cheerleader at best and information ministry at its worst. Rising each day to provide messaging cover for American elites.
Our short attention spans need not be distracted by an actual women’s rights issue that has persisted across time into the modern era. Women who,
“deserved the vocal and energetic support of Western feminists and the United States government in 1979. They didn’t get it. Neither did Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it; or Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab; or the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; or Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; or Amira Osman Hamid, who faces whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; or the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized for her family for refusing to wear the hijab; or the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told that they had to wear the hijab or be fired; or the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab; or the women also in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; or the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; or the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; or the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; or the women in Iran who protested against the regime by daring to take off their legally-required hijab; or the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab; or the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents, or all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab.”
The regime in Iran has ordered that women who are not wearing hijab will be forbidden from riding the Theran Metro (subway). Maybe they are afraid they, too, will experience a drought if they let women choose. Or perhaps they are like Barack Obama who, in 2009 said, “Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That’s why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it.”
No word on when we can expect the same government to protect the rights of Christians.
On a related note, when the annual drought festival starts, perhaps pro-mask-mandated Democrat women across the state can take the spiritual advice of Mohammad-Mehdi Hosseini Hamedani and cover their heads and faces. You know, for the good of the community.
