Islamic Republic of Iran arrests eight people for producing music videos

Jun 1, 2016 9:28 am By Robert Spencer

“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

Abbas-Jafari-Dolatabadi-

“Iran regime arrests 8 for producing music videos,” NCRI, May 28, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

NCRI – Iran’s fundamentalist regime has arrested eight people for producing music videos, the regime’s prosecutor general in Tehran, Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi, told the judiciary’s news agency Mizan Online on Saturday.

“Eight people producing obscene music videos, whose clips were broadcast on a famous anti-revolutionary television channel, were arrested in Tehran last week,” he said.

He claimed that their charges will be reviewed by the special court of culture and media.

The arrests come only days after 35 students who partied at a graduation ceremony in northern Iran were arrested and given 99 lashes each for violating the regime’s so-called morality code.

On May 16, the regime announced the arrest of eight people for working in “un-Islamic” online modelling networks, particularly on the photosharing app Instagram.

The head of the regime’s police in Tehran announced in April the recruitment of 7,000 plainclothes police in the capital to fight against so-called improper veiling by women.

The plainclothes agents are also responsible for monitoring “noise, harassment of women and women’s lack of Islamic veil inside cars,” he said.

Commenting on the Iranian regime’s recent crackdown in society, Ali Safavi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) said:

“This new wave of floggings and arrests are part of a wider crackdown by the Iranian regime at home, targeting in particular the youths and women. It clearly indicates the regime’s paranoia in the face of the Iranian people’s growing popular indignation. More than three years into Hassan Rouhani’s presidency, not even one of his promises have panned out, first and foremost domestically. Moderation by Rouhani is as farfetched as one could imagine.”

The mullahs’ regime has also launched a new clampdown on Iranians in the capital watching satellite television, banned by the fundamentalist authorities….

    Guess they are not to enjoy sex.
    Only use it to procreate.

      Muslims do enjoy sex with their partner of choice- female goats.

        Muslim men cannot be blamed for goat sex.

        Islam’s “uncovered meat” analogy.
        Unlike sheep who modestly wear a thick coat of fur, those goats are just asking to be raped by parading about in such skimpy outer fur.

          Too funny. Yeah, they just can’t help themselves, those muslim men. They see that furry butt and they lose all control. lol. And then do they stone the sheep? Not if the sheep has 4 witnesses.

    First off, morality code? lol. Islam is a perversion of morality, cruel, murderous, and oppressive. And this is the direction we’re headed with sharia creep and self-censorship. Anyone who has ever dealt with religious fanatics understands the impossibility of reasoning with these people. They are ruled by their ignorant passions and nothing can change it. The muslims’ right to be offended takes precedence over our right to be free, which is a problem because practically every thing we do offends them. Today it’s service dogs and bacon, tomorrow our manner of dress and religion. Eventually we won’t be able to do anything without offending their bigoted thin skins. And our politicians and media are no help, they buckle at the knees over every accidental rhyme that doesn’t fit their false narrative. We’re fighting a two-fronted war, islamic fascists and our own traitors who aid them. Too many of our own people have become stone-faced liars for islam. I see Hitler’s henchmen in every single one of these betrayers of freedom.

    Islam is a putrid river that flows in only one direction, to a sea of moral darkness, death, and suffering. If you went to the doctor and she said you had a small cancerous mole you wouldn’t say “forget it, it’s so small.” No, you’d cut that sucker out. I don’t think I have to finish the analogy, you get my meaning.

    There goes the American music industry – they wouldn’t want to “offend” the Iranians once they get the bomb, would they?

    No more Sonoma Valley wineries nor any producing of wine, either. Here is the Islamic ruling for punishment against those who are caught drinking wine:

    Penalty for drinking wine:

    “The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If they (the people) drink wine, flog them, again if they drink it, flog them. Again if they drink it, kill them.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4467)

    Hmmm… In Sharia law, getting caught drinking wine for the third time invokes the “three strikes, you’re out” rule, literally!

  5. Mike Ramirez says

    Especially, No oldies songs by “Three Dog Night”.

    By the way, Muhammad “…commanded the killing of the dogs until he announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog meant for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens).” (Sahih Muslim, Book 024, Number 5248)

    and specifically to “…kill every pure black one. (Sunan Abu Dawud: Book 16, Number 2839)

    • overman says

      Jun 1, 2016 at 12:42 pm

      Yes, and below is why they hate dogs so much:

      “lslam hates dogs as well as infidels, apparently..
      “Dog owners will be sentenced to 74 lashes if they are caught keeping the pets at home or walking them in public. This amounts to the banning of dogs in Iran if they cannot even keep them at home. This is 100% a result of Islam; Muhammad”
      “Narrated Salim’s father: “Once Gabriel promised to visit the Prophet but he delayed and the Prophet got worried about that. At last he came out and found Gabriel and complained to him of his grief (for his delay). Gabriel said to him, “We do not enter a place in which there is a picture or a dog.”
      “So the Hadith would have us believe that an Angel of God, the Archangel Gabriel, refused to enter Muhammad’s house because a puppy — a creature of God — was there? And that’s why Muhammad commanded that all dogs be killed?” What complete BS
      “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: Angels do not accompany the travelers who have with them a dog and a bell.
      The last one is why Iran is banning people from even walking their dogs.
      Islam is pure filth! The Iranian Muslims who want to keep dogs are either ignorant of how anti-dog Islam is, or they know and they choose to have far better character than their own false prophet Muhammad”

        So, how does Gabriel know there is a picture of the Ayatollah on the wall without entering? I can understand Gariel’s reluctance to be anywhere near it.

    The sophistication of humor and the arts is an accurate indicator of intelligence. Lack of these in a society’s leadership is an indication of low intelligence or tyranny and places its willing followers at an even lower level.

    Like the crumbling of ancient ruins, new growth is pushing through the cracks of the sarcophagus placed over the Iranian people by the necrotic-minded Ayatollahs. A tectonic rumbling, a tremblor of potential massive force, barely in the range of feeling, now strikes fear in the dead hearts of the masters. And so it should. A Persian intifada is coughing to life.

    The Iranian people are in a bi-level society, i.e., the dullards and their ilk who couldn’t tolerate the fast social, technological, and advancement through education changes under the Shah, and what is left of the creative, productive citizens after the brain-drain to the West. The secret ingredient is the education of Iranian women who now outnumber men in Iran’s universities. No other Islamic country educates its women as a priority.

    Also, Israel has recently changed its defense minister to a hard-liner who won’t hesitate to respond to an Ayatollah nuclear misstep.

    One way or another, the Ayatollahs and their ilk seem to be in the process of losing their heads. Administering whack-a-mole on the citizens will not stop the mechanism.

      So true, it’s a creative intelligence and individual expression, neither of which islam can tolerate. Their people are supposed to live for the tyrants and faith that controls them, not be free and independent minded. This goes to show, Islamic nations don’t even tolerate harmless forms of expression, but we in the west must tolerate with quiet submissiveness the worst their imported culture and religion can dish out. And if we don’t then we’re haters, bigots, and islamophobes. If I’d known multiculturalism meant forsaking my nation, values, and freedoms, I would have spoke out much sooner.

      Even if this were true, Westman–and we’ve been hearing that the Iranians are poised to throw the Mullahs out for thirty years now–what would it look like?

      Some Iranians do chafe at Shari’ah strictures regarding alcohol or music, but that does not necessarily mean that they actually reject Islam or embrace anything resembling freedom and democracy.

        As long as Islam festers somewhere in the wound, it is a threat.

      “Ayatollahs and their ilk seem to be in the process of losing their heads.”
      That sounds a little too optimistic.

      Maybe Iran will become a progressive democracy like Turkey — before Erdogan.

      • Jay Boo says

        Jun 2, 2016 at 12:13 pm

        The liberal press writes

        Turkey’s is instead looking increasingly like the Russia of Vladimir Putin.

        No mention of Islam.
        They are furious that Vladimir Putin is going after ISIS and McCain’s ‘freedom fighter Islamic supremacists”

    In other words, ask not —
    whether or not Muhammad’s self-serving fiction exists, but instead work yourselves into a panic trying always to prove your worth in hope of passing (his sock puppet), Allah’s test.

    Iran with a population of 100 million has a huge, Democratic minded, secular, youth movement. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they persevere and win future elections. The old goats can’t live forever. And that missing middle generation has been eliminated through war.

  10. Oliver says

    Jun 1, 2016 at 3:57 pm

    A slight disagreement with the consensus. IF the 8 were producing RAP VIDEOS. THEY DESERVE TO BE ARRESTED.

    The loud, deafening, misogynistic excuse for music is a disgrace to everything that music should be.

    And, in Tehran, 7,000 police just to see if women are dressed modestly?

    That sounds like there is no crime.

    Sort of like an area in FL some years back- some people complained that some women’s t back bikinis were too small, wanted the police to check them. (It was not in the area I live in, or I would have volunteered, so police could keep an eye on real crime). But again, 7,000 police to enforce a dress code. I am guessing that Tehran (as benefiting a capital) is a large city.

    Most of our Western people are unaware of these sorts of arrests and so they assume there is no risk to the West. Nothing could be further from the truth. Islam’s Sharia law is like an anaconda. It slowly squeezes the life out of the host culture and then slowly and painfully swallows it and dissolves it in its toxic juices. The process can take hundreds of years, but the end result is that the host culture is gone and 7th century Mohammedan culture is all that is left.

    Yeah–maybe, maybe not. We’ve been told over and over again over the past thrity years that the ‘Iranian people’ are on the verge of revolting against the Mullahs. But these crackdowns are cyclical, and a consistent feature of the Islamic state.
