This is the kind of courage we all need to have.

“Hijab Standoff: Iranian Mother Fights Daughter’s Arrest in Viral Video,” Iran International, April 29, 2024:
In a widely circulated video from the weekend, an Iranian mother is seen confronting Tehran’s security forces who attempted to arrest her daughter for not adhering to the mandatory hijab law.
Iran International has not yet been able to independently verify the authenticity of the footage, but the incident reportedly took place on April 28 at Hadish Mall in the Shamsabad area east of Tehran.
In the video, the mother asserts her rights by shouting at the police, “You won’t take my daughter anywhere,” and insists that they wait for the girl’s father to arrive before taking any action.
This latest video is part of a growing number of similar confrontations captured and spread on social media, showcasing the escalating tension between the Iranian populace and the authorities enforcing the hijab laws.
Recently, Iranian authorities have intensified those efforts under the regime’s new enforcement plan, dubbed “Plan Noor”.
This surge has resulted in violent crackdowns, targeting Iranian women on the streets.
Despite the regime’s efforts, there’s a noticeable wave of civil disobedience sweeping across the country, with many women appearing in public spaces without hijabs, protesting against the impositions….

Standing up for what is right, standing up for the rights of self and others….is in short supply. I hope this mom wins out over the ghouls. The daughter should be proud of her mother.
If enough brave people stand up, perhaps they will win out over the ghouls who wish to keep them enslaved to evil.

That horrific vicious and cruel “mullah regime” of Iran is brutal and cruel violator of human rights. Especially regarding the human rights of girls and woman.
For example, to imprison women for not wearing the hijab is but one part of the anti-female tyranny of this tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran.
That ruthless cruel brutal heinous Islamic regime of Iran that is so unfittingly has the word “Republic” in its title ,for its called “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” [ I R I].
That brutal cruel Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran is full of ruthless malicious misogyny.
On the topic of this Islamic tyranny of Iran a former Muslim revealed that “The IRI system recognizes women as dependent upon men and incomplete human beings who need to be supervised and controlled by men and the State. This author further exposed that “Women are created for the purposes of giving pleasure to men and child bearing – functions that confine them to the home” This is a male Chauvinistic as can possibly be.
In addition this writer further makes it known that “The IRI legal system still retains traditional patriarchal bias that can be described as nothing but systemic subordination of women , which is undoubtedly a human rights violation .”
This author further reveals that “Iran is of what Islamic fundamentalists desire, an Islamic State, and the consequence of achieving it “State Terror. Instead of utopia, Iran is an Islamic totalitarian nightmare…” and “the Islamic Republic of Iran exists and operates as what every Islamic fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by Sharia …What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premises; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
This heinous Islamic has been also exposed by another author who was born and lived in a Middle Eastern nation for many years. She wrote “Female freedom and independence is one of the greatest sins in Islam…” and “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [2]
All this is wicked, unjust and misogynistic to the extreme. Islam had not regard for human life, regardless of what the apologists for this religion will claim.

The “Islamic republic” is also significant because it shows clearly what Islam does to a country. Iran has huge ressources – despite that it has became a poor country. One third of the population is extremely poor. They have 2million people under arms to guard their own population. No economy can afford such realations.
Islam has no concepts, for nothing despite Jihad. is always: we must be very strict in Reliigion than Allah will throw it from above. As they shield themselves from critique they cannot learn.

If all women there would fight back as hard as I’ve seen some resist, the regime would lose its power over them. Well done to those who do.
somehistory says
I agree, HP. People everywhere need to fight as hard as possible to defeat evil. If more did, more could be accomplished.
The ones who do, have my moral support. Obviously, they don’t know that.
Barbara says
The late Shah worked to bring Iran into the 20th century. When the Ayatollah took over, he forced Iran back to the dark ages.
The people are going to have to in mass, stand up to the dictators and fight for the freedoms. the older people remember what it was like pre-1970. They have to lead. They know what freedom is, the young people cannot comprehend how it feels.
Westman says
It seems obvious that Shia doctrine, as practiced in Iran, turns men into cretins who would kill their own mother for disobeying something their God never wrote itself, something that was compiled hundreds of years later after passing through multiple memories as happens in creating urban legends.
Let’s be honest. This is about Iranian men keeping superiority and control over women. Islam is not the real cause, it’s the justification to allow the desired servitude of women and the lust of a prison guard while he waits for some new woman to abuse.
Religion can be used as lawfare as in Iran. The Iranian Mullahs, particularly #1, and the IRGC deserve more, much more, from Allah than they have received. The fact that Allah has not given these evil men what they truly deserve is another proof that Allah was invented to allow Arabs to break out and conquer other societies, most of which had wealth and women to absorb.
A real Allah wouldn’t wait for the people to remove the Iranian Regime. Obviously, Allah is but a handy invention for these brutal men.
somehistory says
Yes, “obviously.”
Heloise says
Shia or Sunni, it doesn’t matter. Both adhere to basic Islamic doctrine.
Islamic doctrine, taken from the Koran and the Sunnah of Mohammed, codified in the schools of the Sharia, is the cause. Muslims are the effect.
Here’s an example of Allah the moon god’s reasons for a man’s superiority over a woman: Koran, 4:34. https://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=4&verse=34

OLD GUY says
The Morality police enforcing the dress code in WAL MART can you imagine that. These college DUMBINSTRATORS will have to learn a whole new set of rules, dress codes and lifestyle, but they will have their cell-phone spewing islamic propaganda and daily rules to them, not TIC-TOF or Face-Book.
Walter Sieruk says
Such oppressive of females , both girls and women is mostly based on Sharia. Islam with it’s Sharia are the foundation of that Islamic tyranny of Iran.
Therefore ,it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. “For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore, Sharia has no value or worth.
Thus, it’s no wonder that those despots in power in that Sharia based Islamic tyranny might fear the collapse of their regime for it has a very weak foundation which is Sharia.
In other words, the Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran is grounded on only a foundation of sand.
Walter Sieruk says
The young girl who was arrest and away ,in front of her mother , for not wear hijab was terrible.
That forcing of girls and women is part of the oppressive misogyny of the brutal cruel tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.
Furthermore, such human rights abuses of that Islamic tyranny is the result of that anti-female religion of Islam.
A scholar of Islam revealed by a scholar of Islam who revealed in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]

Troybeam says
They must be stopped, of course they must however until every person that is not Muslim makes a stand against Islam and sharia then nothing will happen.
