Yesterday I was vilified and excoriated for publishing a piece suggesting that Islam might not be altogether hospitable to women’s rights. The Hill published the piece, but then, under heavy pressure from Left-fascists, took it down. In the establishment propaganda media one is not allowed to utter the slightest critical word regarding Islam, jihad, or Sharia. Islam oppresses women? Why, you racist, bigoted Islamophobe!
In the Islamic Republic of Iran, meanwhile, they have no time for these niceties. They know Islam oppresses women, and are busy oppressing them. The Hill’s editor-in-chief Bob Cusack should learn a lesson from this. But he won’t.
“Female bodybuilder is thrown in jail in Iran for posting ‘un-Islamic’ photographs of her workouts online,” Mailonline, January 18, 2017:
An Iranian bodybuilder has been arrested after publishing selfie of her muscles on social media which were deemed to be ‘nude’.
The woman, who is accused of breaking the Islamic Republic’s strict rules on nudity, has been locked up in prison because she was unable to post bail of two million rials (£50), according to the Mizanonline news agency.
She has not been identified but it is thought she may be Shirin Nobahari, one of two women who took part in an international competition and were reported in September to have been warned about selfies which they posted afterwards.
Ms Nobahari’s Instagram account, which users the moniker Shirin Muscleking, contains a number of photographs and videos of her showing off her biceps and lifting weights.
The Iranian judiciary’s own news agency said today: ‘One of the female bodybuilders who recently published nude photographs on social networks has been arrested.’
In Iran ‘nude’ can refer to any woman who is not wearing a headscarf or revealing parts of her body such as arms and legs, that must be covered in public.
Iranian women are allowed to take part in international sporting events, but must respect strict Islamic rules on clothing at all times….

These photos cause “sexual emergencies” in Iran? Muslimas are the keepers of men’s morals?
When Israel is forced to bomb Iran, they could drop racy photo leaflets to keep the Iranian military distracted; perhaps a new photo every day during the campaign?

That’s a wannabe woman!
girlgirl says
so not only this woman has to be such a victim of unjustice there are even fools who insult her!
Tom says
Dude looks like a lady! We have a growing population of transexuals here in South Florida and this looks like one of them. Check the hands and adam’s apple. This is a man, possibly going through the transition, but a man nonetheless.
Dan says
Pretty much any sympathy I had for her vanished after seeing her shirt.
If she hasn’t figured out by now, Che was as bad a suppressing dictator butcher as her current dictator suppressing butchers, she’ gong to be on somebody’s s list no matter what society she chooses to live in.
tom parry says
right I Saw the Shirt too and lost all sympathy– Idiots who adore Che deserve &^%$$#@(*&&%
PRCS says
Gotta wonder if she knows anything about that sadistic killer, or just thinks his picture is a fashion statement.
Jerome Borden says
Back in Davis, CA it was one of the more prevalent fashion statements.
Bill says
I refuse to wear my burqua in solidarity for this oppressed bodybuilder! This story puts that ridiculous virtue signalling actress Kathy (some immediately forgettable last name) in stark relief.
marina says
“nude photographs” ?
Gotta be kidding me. Since when does a woman’s arms and legs invoke lustful thoughts in men. Stupidity knows no bounds
girlgirl says
it ‘s probably true.
the iranian tv censored Michelle Obama’s arms…
female arms are so sexual in Iran!!!!!
Angemon says
More material for Anni Cyrus’ next “Top 10” video…
girlgirl says
Those pictures are supposed to be anything but sexy… yet that poor person is slut-shamed and legally punished only for showing to others the results of her hard work.
BringBackTheCrusades says
How do we know those aren’t pictures of a guy with lipstick and a dumbass T-shirt?
