Ripped jeans: forbidden according to Sharia’s modesty imperative. Beating a 14-year-old girl for wearing ripped jeans: pleasing to Allah.
“Iranian morality police beat and detain 14-year-old girl ‘for wearing ripped jeans,'” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, February 14, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A 14-year-old girl has been beaten and detained for wearing ripped jeans in Iran in the latest incident of police brutality against women and girls.
Zahra*, who The Independent is not identifying for fear she may suffer reprisals, was celebrating her birthday with friends last week when a patrol of “morality police” pulled up.
The teenager said officers tried to force her and her friends into their car in the city of Shiraz, beating them when they resisted.
“There were two women and two men in a huge van and they pushed us into it with the force of their beatings,” she recalled. “Their objection was to the ripped jeans that we were wearing. There were really no other issues concerning my friends and I.”
Zahra and the other girls were released after being made to sign written pledges that they would not wear the trousers again and adhere to Iran’s strict interpretation of “modest” dress codes in the future.
“I still carry the bruises sustained from their beatings on my face,” she said. “I still feel their pressure on my arm and my ribs still hurt.”
In an exclusive interview with The Independent, her mother described the ordeal as “the worst day of my life, as if the world has ended for me”.
“I know my daughter feels the same,” she added, recalling how she helplessly followed the morality police car to the station.
Zahra’s mother, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, said male officers had threatened the girls with pepper spray to get them into the car, while female officers hit them and pulled their hair.
“It was unbelievable,” she added. “When I entered the room, they were saying that these girls are not children any more and should wear proper clothes.
“Signs of bruises are still visible all over her body. My daughter and her friends were wearing ordinary clothes, it was just that they were wearing ripped jeans.”
Masih Alinejad, who runs the My Stealthy Freedom rights campaign for Iranian women, said many others had gone through similar experiences….

While spoiled loudmouth has-beens like Madonna & Ashley Judd try to stay relevant by “speaking for women” against… Trump.
They can’t be bothered to care about authentic abuses of women and girls; nothing in it for them.

And they would defend the hijab as a “freedom.” But thre’s no outcry to defend teenage girls’ “freedom” to wear ripped jeans???

What I do not understand ( and said this to the 15 year old daughter of friends) ” why do you buy ripped jeans?
that said, it should be her right to wear them, as is my friend’s daughters (in the US). (Although, i would draw the line at wearing them to school-not an issue-was at a party or gathering).
Iran effing sucks. would not be a huge loss if (my opinion) most of the morality police, ayatollahs, imams, and their most observant followers were all annihilated.

Islam is clearly systemic patriarchy.
Its PATRIARCHY endorses the enslavement of women under discriminatory Sharia law. Woman are considered the property of the male patriarchy in their clan or family. As property, the Islamic male patriarch may command the marriage, education and rights of the female…whether or not she even leaves her home.
Western progressives are giving their endorsement to the biggest SYSTEM OF MISOGYNY on earth. IT’S ABSURD.
Jean Terry says
So true.

Shmooviyet –I agree
and the other liberals -including priests, ministers and rabbis (all assholes in my view) continue to complain about THE TEMPORARY TRAVEL BAN from Iran and the other six countries.
People are too stupid to realize (a) that they want to kill Christians and Jews and (b) as- you said- treat women like trash. Or worse than trash.
In high school-or perhaps college- i recall reading that in French North Africa, after WW2- Muslims would have women WALK IN FRONT OF THEM ( THE MEN, WHO USUALLY WERE ON A CAMEL OR LEADING THE CAMEL) BECAUSE OF LANDMINES.
The men were afraid of losing the camel, the hell with their women.
Nothing has changed in the 70 years.
The Shah tried to bring Iran into the 20th Century, and the liberals-with Jimmy carter’s help, threw him under the bus, and we now have the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Screaming DEATH TO AMERICA daily.

Today US is doing the same thing with helping Erdogan, thus changing secular constitution… I don’t think the western establishment will never give up islamising others…
Somebody says
Ps: I am talking about the last secular muslim country Turkey.

Where is Christianblood in this thread?
Just A Concerned Citizen says
Hmph, this was mentioned in the local Arabic language ragsheet here in Bahrain the other day.
It was on the back page, where the “oddball” news from around the world goes… Clearly this was amusing for the intended audience.

My wife visited her family in Shiraz once about 10 years ago. She was yelled at by the religious police because her hairline was showing. Her cousins yelled back at the police and they walked away. Thank God she hasn’t visited recently. The Iranian regime tightened it’s grip when Obama backed away from the western friendly elements in Iran. Now with the sanctions lifted any resistance has been reset to early 80’s after the dust settled on the revolution. You can’t make a deal with the devil and expect everything to work as you expect. I’ve never met an Iranian, Muslim or otherwise, that likes the regime. Unfortunately like previous nazi and communist regimes, the Iranian regime has had a fairly successful anti-western indoctrination program via state controlled media and internet.

“Wear what we say or we’ll beat you up” – nice set of “morality” you have there…
Pal says
It’s not “moral” police.
It’s islam police.
There is no morality in such an approach.
Conclusion on islam – moral comes by itself.

This abuse could come to a Liberal jihadist Sharia Canada near you.
Resist. Fight back.

PLEASING TO ALLAH SERIES IS BACK
Ripped jeans: forbidden according to Sharia’s modesty imperative. Beating a 14-year-old girl for wearing ripped jeans: pleasing to Allah.

The worst crimes (hudud) in Islam are the so-called “crimes against Allah”…those that have pre-established punishments outlined in the koran and for which there is no judicial discretion. The punishments are beheading/crucifixion, amputation, or lashing. The crimes are:
Drinking alcohol
Theft
Highway robbery
Illegal sexual intercourse/adultery
False accusation of illegal sexual intercourse – a rape victim must have 4 witnesses or she has committed a serious crime.
Apostasy – includes blasphemy
MURDER is not one of them.
Prison is not a sentence. So these horrific criminals, unless beheaded, are free to return to the community and commit another atrocity…PUT DOWN THAT BEER. (I’m sure the woman, lashed for making the false accusation of rape would be summarily “honor”-killed by her father, brothers or husband.)
