“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini
“Iran arrests eight for ‘un-Islamic’ Instagram modelling,” BBC, May 16, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Iran has arrested eight people working for online modelling agencies deemed to be “un-Islamic”, the prosecutor of Tehran’s cybercrimes court has said.
The arrests are part of an operation that has seen women targeted for posting photos showing them not wearing headscarves on Instagram and elsewhere….
The eight unnamed people were among 170 identified by investigators as being involved in modelling online.
They included 59 photographers and make-up artists, 58 models and 51 fashion salon managers and designers, according to a statement from the court.
‘Sterilising cyberspaces’The arrests were announced by the court’s prosecutor Javad Babaei during a state television programme broadcast late on Sunday that focused on the “threats to morality and the foundation of family” posed by social media.
Mr Babaei claimed modelling agencies accounted for about 20% of posts on Instagram from Iran and that they had been “making and spreading immoral and un-Islamic culture and promiscuity”.
Of the 170 people found to be involved in online modelling, 29 were warned that they were subject to criminal investigation, the prosecutor added.
“The persons who reformed their behaviour after receiving a notice did not face any judicial action, and eight out of the 29 have been arrested,” he said.
A spokesman of the Iranian Centre for Surveying and Combating Organised Cyber Crimes, Mostafa Alizadeh, said: “Sterilising popular cyberspaces is on our agenda.
“We carried out this plan in 2013 with Facebook, and now Instagram is the focus,” he added, saying fresh operations would begin in the coming days….

So sex with goats is fine as long as it’s serious. Islam is a seriously insane religion .

No jokes, no fun, just pedophilia, gang rape, and blowing people up!

The terrible mullahs and ayatollahs as well as the Muslim tyrants in power in this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran which has so inappropriately and falsely the word “Republic” in its title is a very cruel and oppressive tyranny . the Muslim clerics other who hold power in Iran come down on the human rights of the Iranian people people through their ruthless and brutal gang of thugs who are called “The Republican Guard ” and also called “The Revolutionary Guard.” The people Iranian people do fear the “guard” who are control and used stooges by the Muslim clerics and other Muslin tyrants in power. They are likewise greatly and terrible feared by the people of Iran This is a reminder of the wisdom printed by Benjamin Franklin in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACK . Which informs the reader that “Those who are feared are also hated.”

The next four to eight years are the most critical in this country’s history. If Hillary Clinton is elected president, she will nominate as many as five new Supreme Court Justices to replace those who are elderly and will either die or retire. These Justices will be far left operatives who will reinterpret the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution. We will lose our right to criticize Islam and we will be disarmed. The Founding Fathers gave us these rights so that we could speak about and defend ourselves against a tyrannical government. If we lose these rights, our country is lost to Islam.
Mockingjay says
Wondering if “therichkidsoftehran” (on instagram) are amongst these 170.

…………………..
Mass rape of Infidels–and in Iran, of virgins sentenced to death–is perfectly Halal, but posting a photo on Instagram is “immoral”.
This is Muslim “morality”…
Carolyne says
“Muslim morality” is an oxymoron. Muslims are just plain morons.

Hmm,
I think we can all come up with a better place for them to start their sterilization program..
AvantiBev says
Iran is quite puzzling. I read yesterday of a man who beat his dog to death in northern Iran and was sentenced by a judge to fine and jail time. The article did admit that Islam looked askance at dogs considering them dirty but the judge seemed as aghast as I would be at the man’s evil treatment of the dog What gives? Persian holdouts living on the “down low” within the Islamic Republic of Iran??
If I can find the link I will share.
